Will you take a redemption arc or go out in a blaze of glory that ends in some long winded speech after losing to the heroes.
I’m going full Scarlett Crusade.
No one is safe !
I recruit the PC with sick loot and now have a conquering army…
I go out like those fire elementals in ruby life pools but with no marker indicators on the ground to warn players.
BOOM!
Scorched earth (I’m a fire mage FFS) all the way!
By WoW villain do you mean I now work at Blizzard?
I would take the blaze of glory route. I’d steal all of the player character’s battle pets and transmog wardrobe, tie them to separate train tracks, and force the player to choose which train to stop. Save the puppies or save your transmogs. There is no redemption arc for a villain so heinous.
I decide it doesnt matter. This retched playerbase will cry about me no matter what.
The third option, my storyline just sort of fizzles out and I’m forgotten about because Blizz decided to cut the xpac short to focus on the next one.
I build an order of pure Paladins.
No cows. No space goats. And certainly no wretched and evil Blood Elves.
After I cleanse the class of these disgusting races, I take back Lordaeron.
This hits too close to home. We have had too many expansions take this road, this hurts.
I wish I lived in the timeline where Blizzard actually finished expansions.
Child, I’ve been a WoW villain. Act like you know.
I always said,"Die dramatically! " This is a good occasion to do so.
eradicate all race except gnomes
You fools, you dont know what is waiting out there to devour us all. I…would have…saved…youuuuu
Who said I’m losing to the heroes? I’m sparking a revolution and liberating Khaz Modan from the yoke of the dying Alliance. The heroes will agree with me.
…Is villain speak for, I’m going to get murdered off-screen halfway through the expansion.
Wouldn’t that be the Scarlet Crusade ?
Sure - Scarlet Crusade II.
Yuck.
