Okay, but you do a million for Anduin and Alleria, and again, Flynn’s only brought uo as insult to injury.
You keep conflating different questlines.
Your excuses are made up in your head. They’re archaeologists like the Explorer’s League and should be there.
So let us team up with Tae’thalan.
They’re Horde-leaning and are filled with Horde shamans.
They’re just fine, as you said, (we saw them in BfA) and again, more excuses that exist only in your head.
That story jumped around. I was doing things with Gazlowe, then Alleria, then Flynn and Lilian show up out of nowhere. At least it has some Horde presence. But why couldn’t it have just been, ok I’m doing stuff with Gazlowe? The Orweyna stuff didn’t last long either.
We’ve been facing world ending threats since the start of Warcraft 3. The Burning Legion and the Scourge.
Then WoW Vanilla. Then in Outland I guess Illidan and his crew were kinda contained in Outland until they opened the portal back to Azeroth? Context at the time was that Illidan was not our friend.
Northrend was another world ending event. Same with Cata. Pandaria had the potential, though that was mostly the factions’ collective fault. WoD was a direct result of the factions.
Honestly, Vanilla was really the only break in world ending threats that the factions should have teamed up to tackle.
It might take a while but even in real life, after war and atrocities strong alliances can be forged. It’s more believable than perpetual enmity.
Me playing in character… I will never forgive the horde or Sylvanas for what they did to Teldrassil. There is no contrived explanation that will ever make me want to make friends with the horde… Ever.
Not in character… I hate the horde… I always have. I have two horde characters out of 30+. I’ve never liked their plot lines, nor story. I think the game is losing something with this Barney and Friends motif.
That’s why your generation needs to retire and the new generation can take over
although, what will happen is that everyone will just end up assimilating into Eastern Kingdoms society, Orcs and Trolls alike
Why would one choose to live in a straw hut vs. a modern furnished home?
All the races that can be Shaman are represented and Nobundo and Myrla (Broken and Dorf) are on the Council.
He’s fun that’s why.
I feel like maybe I missed stuff? I saw a quest with a creepy nelf-looking guy but passed on the whole experience (not following a nelf into a weird cave tyvm). Offhand I don’t think I’ve seen Orweyna but for the first time in the zone? @__@
I thought she’d be a bigger part considering she was in one of the cinematics
It’s a blink and you’ll miss it situation. I think it’s just a couple of quests.
He did feel pretty random. I agree they should have added in a Horde character as we don’t see too many of them in TWW.
Thing is, a Forsaken npc would be so much better than Flynn.
Forsaken have history with nerubians.
Imagine if it was High Exectuor Anselm.
Unlike Flynn, that man would stay behind because duty demanded it.
Forsaken wouldn’t really needing to worry about the poison. No blood, y’know?
They needed a rogue who’s in the ‘competant enough to survive but not enough to do the job solo’ range. Someone like Garona (or, honestly, half the order hall crew) are too competant, they would have already got the info and snuck away by the time we got down there.
We’re pretty sure she’s patch content, just with an early introduction so it doesn’t come out of nowhere. Check out the Mystery Roots that teleport you away from them in a green fog like the druid order hall does to non-druids, to guess where said patch content may end up (They’re on the ceiling near the airship)
Yeah, that’s why I said:
The idea that warriors are incompetent is only ever applied to Horde races.
We see Alliance warriors behave like operatives when the situation calls for it.
There’s absolutely no reason Horde can’t either.
Here’s an example of orc warriors outsmarting the Alliance:
As another poster said, I think next expac there may be a bit more horde representation, probably centering on the goblins but if not, then it becomes obvious they’re writing the horde out in favour of having just one story line for all players regardless of faction/race.
Either way, we’ll see. I don’t think we have nearly as many horde npcs as alliance does since so many have been killed off.
Maybe, just maybe, characters can be more than their factional ties.
Why are you telling her that when its Doness questioning why he suddenly had to interact with Flynn?
Did the OP make this thread in GD, only for the Mods to drag it back to the hell it belongs - the Story Forum?
Most of the Horde probably thinks Flynn is manly as anyone else on the Alliance.
Wasn’t there a video about it at a Blizzcon?
Why flynn? That is simple. The writer(s) for that section of the questing happen to really like him, so they used the character they like. I do not think it is anything deeper than that.
I didn’t say Meerah.
Could have someone halfway between Meerah and Nishi.
How about that guy that voices most of the world quests in Vol’dun? I forget his name. He seemed like a nice middle-ground.
