Terrifying god shows up and normal people shriek in terror
Us murderhobos: OH look, another walking armory. Lets see what it’s corpse has as loot and if it’s useable

I mostly felt bad for the Drakkari fleeing into the Grizzly Hills (and being systematically plagued for their efforts.). Those still in Zul’drak seemed more keen on just wallowing in the power they’d stolen from their Gods and attacking the Argent Crusade. They didn’t really come across as having a coherent plan to actually put said power to use against the Scourge beyond shooting down one necropolis - an impressive feat, but without any followup it didn’t mean much against a foe like the Scourge. It was almost like the ruling and religious castes in and around Gundrak had just used the situation as an excuse to empower themselves while abandoning the masses to die in the lower tiers.

I can relate to your pain, friend.
Why, just the other day I was wandering the Isle of Dorn, just trying to mine some Bismuth. Suddenly a figure appears, one with uncanny eyes and purple hair, a void elf of some sort. Before that elf lifted their mining pick, I’d unleashed a torrent of pain upon their form. With the final gasp from their perforated lung, they asked but a simple question.
“W—wh—… Why…”
“Ohmigod, so sorry, thought you were Xal’atath. Got a neat new bow inside you somewhere?”

They did have a bow hidden inside of them. How? Where!? WHAT IS HAPPENING?

It’s okay, it’s okay, it was just the Ancient Bone Bow.
I mean now it is. I didn’t happen to find one my first dig-through of their remains, but I made certain on my second dig-through, with a helpful video guide from my favorite Forsaken, that I found one the second time.
While leveling a billionth alt in Duskwood I was doing a quest where you need to collect bear brains, and I noticed that any time a brain didn’t drop, I got a grey item crushed bear skull instead. Kind of appreciated that detail.
And no I don’t know why I needed bear brains, Gilnean alchemy is weird and frightening.

I appreciate the mental imagery of our “Champions” living one extended fever dream, walking around festooned in innards studded with bone shrapnel “because the set bonus is so good.”
I think I prefer the headless murloc situation. It adds character.

See, that one makes perfect sense to me.
I am so traumatized by murlocs in STV and other places with high mob density and runners that I kept beating the murloc corpses until their heads were pulverized, just to make sure.
It’s when only one in five boars have entrails that I have questions.

I’m still going with I was fighting a murloc that was somehow alive without a head and didn’t realize it had no head until after I had killed it. Life is funner that way.

I like picturing the player character being like a coin-activated robot that you shove some gold or gear into and they’ll activate then kill everything in whatever direction you point them in.
