Realistically though video game stories don’t have to be super complex to be good. The devs aren’t Shakespear and that’s ok but doing things like retconning large portions of story just so they can try to play their hand at it is disrespectful.
I’m just glad metzen is back, hopefully he changes things for the better before they ruin everything he made.

Wasn’t he the one, who hyped up WoD?^^"
I mean, I like a story that consists of more than
AND THEN THERES A BIG BAD, ok you won BUT ANOTHER BIG BAD ok you won AND ANOTHER BIG BAD ok you won AND ANOTHER BIG BAD
Cough cough classic/tbc

WoD questing was fun though
He’s not a manly man, you know there will be many scenes of crying.
Also on the list of boring and contrived stories is ‘Faction War big bad shows up we join forces VICTORY! faction war yada yada yada’.
WoDs premise and the first patch was actually great, zones were good, bad guys felt threatening at times (Kargath still has the best line ever, WELL IM KARGATH BLADEFIST, AND WHAT I KILL STAYS DEAD and somehow severs a gods connection to the world)
Then they just gave up or something and then it just kinda sucked

The story, on the other hand, was not at all… and some other things weren’t either.
The OP criticizes the story, so I doubt that Metzen will improve anything. And honestly, after BFA and Shadowlands, the story is basically irreparable, unless one pretends that the last two expansions were a crazy fever dream of N’Zoth or something.

Yeah WoD is always the one expansion I don’t cry inside when I bring my alts. Second place is Legion.
Shadowlands would’ve been better if the big bad wasn’t such a cardboard cutout of a villain.
It makes me cry inside a bit just because it had so much potential, and it just flopped so extremely hard, heck we never even got to see any of the promised ogre stuff
Now that concept will never be used again, no second chances, just gone
Plus side they stopped telling us literally every single thing they want to do with an xpac, cuz knowing the 183 things they have planned and can only give 40 is alot more disappointing than just getting 40 things
He sucks so much I almost like him
Like one of those dogs that are so ugly they become cute

This is always going to be true as long as WoW is around. It’s just the nature of having raids in general, you need something to kill.
The phrase “there must always be a lich king” seemed stupid when he said it, until you realize that for wow it’s true - the game itself can’t persist with nothing important to kill. There will always be another “big bad” every single patch, every single raid, until the game dies.

But it isn’t true lol, we have an idea of where the story is going so like yea Xavius isnt the big bad but we know whats happening next
It’s not like classic where each bad guy had 0 connection to the last and just kinda, showed up conveniently the moment the last guy died
They did kinda do that in BFA tho and well, not a popular xpac
The main problem with BFA was they hyped up the faction conflict and then tossed Magni at both sides while throwing a random old god at the end. The story didn’t know what it wanted to be.
