Just one angry green crystal, milords

Well well well look who comes crawling back to roll in the mud with us

I'm impressed, I wouldn't have expected them to account for a niche scenario like a non-draenei mage

jeez they're still not convinced huh

Yeah it’s intentional. He’s supposed to be the foil to Umbric so that Umbric can be the underdog that proves him wrong and validates the void elves. Its just clumsy because we know Rommath is a professional hater, not this amateur

Getting ready to murder the Forsaken for taking Sylvanas' relics (I am here to do the same)

Call me the British the way about to "liberate" these Forsaken from their cultural artifacts

Very surprised how good Voidstorm is, especially since it's a lot of elements I don't normally care about. Much needed struggle and development for the void elves, Decimus is surprisingly charming, and Alleria isn't even that annoying!

Eitrigg Century of Humiliation

Is the Murder Row/Belath questline good? No. But props for giving mages unique narc dialogue, peak class fantasy

Well well well speaking to the only Lordaeronians that will tolerate you, eh

Alonsus Faol rocks, though. It's really nice to have him provide clarity and insight into how the faith works finally

Boy the "Arator's Journey" questline is precision designed to dumpster your opinion of Arator. This guy talks like he was born yesterday about a profession he's been his whole life.

Spit your fucking TRUTH, BRUTHER

It's odd too because one of the major themes of the expac is questioning the Light's intentions and benevolence. Seems fitting to express more ideas about doubting faith and tradition. But the setting doesn't seem ready to let go that religion is, ultimately, universally good

Like Jan not caring about the Loa and wanting to the take the Amani towards a more secular future is kinda interesting! It's different!

I will say, as good as it is, I kinda wish the story was something other than "We gotta get the loa back" because that, or some variation thereof, seems to be the most common troll story and is just another one of those "Hooray back to the status quo" moments

However the Zul'jin slander is crazy we gotta kill this bird

I'm really impressed with how well and with care Zul'Aman has been written with. The trolls are presented like people without losing their identity or waving away their grudges against the elves. I wouldn't have guessed Blizzard had it in'em

FINALLY

Who gets custody of purple now that necromancy is teal and void is a dark blue

Not right now, Arator.

Zul'jan watch out, your lightwood too tough. Your opinions too different. Your gokinye too bad. They'll kill you

He's only 40 years young

Valeera does your tanking ability summon ghosts that fucking kill you

Not even a little Scourge ruins as a treat?

And I'm griping because the Forsaken are my WoW blorbos, so, really doesn't matter, but it feels out of character for them to casually live with the living since they've typically kept to themselves even amongst allies.

Since Mavren and the other Forsaken were a military detachment sent by Sylvanas, maybe have them take Windrunner Village instead and the Void Elves hang out in Tranquillien since it's secret cult town. I dunno.

It's nice to remember the involvement of the Forsaken at Tranquillien but it could have maybe been done with a bit more care than making them interchangeable with the other generic blood elf npcs who wear and do the same things.

Pretty disappointing you really can't see the Dead Scar unless you know to look for it. It was such a striking feature

Da champ is back
