Awkwardly hides his Demon skull and casually walks off whistling suspiciously

Yet another reason why we were on the wrong side in that fight.

Illidan did nothing wrong. And alot right.

You’re a hunter, just a hunter.

Very fair replies on this topic considering how some people in this age shy away from even the thought of sex like puritan monks.

I always thought it was to compensate for him not getting the love of his life. But makes more sense it was to keep his acquaintances busy and loosen the mouths of vips. Now that I think about it, that’s more fitting for the brooding demon hunter who never got his prize girl.

You’re not asking the right question.

“Why not?”

Blizz just thought it looked interesting and didn’t really think about it, likely. My friend believes that it’s for the blood elves, but I think it’s specifically for the Succubi/Shivarra.

Same reason Erik Northman had tons of people at Fangtasia… entertainment.

Illidan is pretty tightly wound. Takes more than one to get him to chill.

Pretty much this, yeah. Whether anyone agrees or disagrees with his decision, it’s his fortress, his rules. :sweat_smile:

How else would he get over Tyrande?

Oh sure, everybody picks on Illidan for his harem, but nobody ever berates Kel’Thuzad for his harem in Naxx full of sexy skeletons. Doesn’t seem fair.

Illidan had a consort, but she was not prepared.

Where do I sign up?

It looks out of place now because blizzard wrote out all of these themes from the game over the last couple years.

He’s still a Highborne… they have eclectic tastes… heck, just look at his brother chasing dragon tail all across Val’sharah…

:thinking:

You know, that puts his decision to swap places with Ysera in a different light…

So, what, he decided he needed help to speed up making the new place smell like his previous goon cave?

some of the old devs were some of the weirdest horndogs in the industry, just look at karazhan as well and some of the dialogue in this game is so heavily sexual. Right now MoP timewalking is happening and if you pay attention to Scholomance dialogue you will find so many rapey undertones it’s ridiculous.

guy couldn’t get Tyrande and he and his men get bored so…why not?

He lived in Shadowmoon Valley, the alternative was that it smelled like brimstone and demonic fire.
