  1. Oh boy. We just had a faction leader doubt himself out of his birthpower. Now Anduin will have so much doubt he'll turn to shadows for a while? Like Thrall with the Elements when he became a warrior for a while?

  2. It still doesn't feel like they have a cohesive plot or are writing more than one content patch at a time. I'd be surprised if they know how they plan to end this new expansion or what the story of the story of the following expansion will be about. I'll come back to play the new expansion for about a month but I doubt the story or the end game will catch my attention.

  3. Slyvanas should have to relive being stabbed, and reanimated by Arthas and the Destruction of Silvermoon OVER AND OVER again, until the end of time, all while being keenly aware of it.

  4. It's so dumb to me, considering sylvanas was essentially used as a weapon/vessel. and the talks of justice vs vengeance, yet it wasn't her doing it technically, not to me anyway and not to the extent tyrande acts like. Just make her a crazy genocidal character, im tired of this whole gray area bs, but yet everyone is 100% against sylvanas like that gray area doesn't exist. And tyrande, what exactly has she done besides whine and moan over it? I probably missed some things bc blizzard is ass at telling stories instead we prance around in the woods in darkshore with freakin malfurion and tyrande when he's the most powerful character on azeroth basically ever? Point is they could have stopped her, sylvanas isn't that damn powerful. Alliance has much more powerful characters than most of the horde it seems but no, we had no way to stop her from destroying a tree. Even with half the horde leaders also against sylvanas. And if you're gonna preach justice it's not justice to punish a vessel being used by the Lord of the literal underworld. I am glad they basically let tyrande be like "nah I'm here for vengeance" in that last cutscene instead of acting holier than thou about it, that's one good point to it.

  5. Honestly wow lore just needs a reset. Illidan containing Sargeras for the Burning legion, whevever the Draongfligh old gods lore brings and 3 villians of the scourge. Just tie in the loose faction ends, the players won't mind too much.

  6. Thank you so much for putting this together, Nobbel! I am ready to move beyond BFA and Shadowlands and hopefully into a better new storyline. This really helps put all those insane threads into a neat ball of yarn that I can tuck away somewhere. Excellent work, as always!

  7. Im definitely in the minority here but I actually enjoy the concept of the shadowlands a lot. The story at the start of the expansion is one of my favorites in all of warcraft, delving into the realms of death and finding out how the afterlife operates first hand; reuniting with various lore characters (although I wish there were more present, like cmon where did saurfang go??). The only thing that consistently left a sour taste in my mouth was Zovaal's character. Which unfortunately, he was the focus of the story. Such a lazily written and shoehorned character.

    The Nathrezim reveal in Korthia is a favorite moment of mine. As a long time Dreadlord fan, finding out their schemes have gone way beyond the Legion is so satisfying. Mysterious cosmic infiltrators born in and 'banished' from the afterlife to take over everything, what isn't cool about that?

  8. I continue to not understand one part. Why are we leaving the souls stay stuck unjustly in the Maw.. continuing to suffer there even longer by leaving Sylvanas alone to seek and send to the Arbiter? We aren't we continuing to work to free them all? Especially with the Jailer threat gone, I'd think we'd have more resources to rescue them at a much faster rate than Sylvanas alone.

  9. Nobbel, I cannot rightly express my thanks for you returning to explaining WoW lore. I fell out of love with WoW during BfA, struggled and failed to rekindle that love during Shadowlands. Still, I cannot give up on WoW. Maybe it is nothing more than the sunk cost fallacy, I cannot say. But as it stands, your lore videos are all that I have to keep the guttering flame of my faded affection for WoW going. I feel hopeful that Dragonflight will bring back that loving feeling if Blizzard will only leave Anduin and Sylvanis in the Maw long enough for the bitter taste of BfA and Shadowlands to fade.

  10. So wait a minute.. does that mean that Bolvar was raised into undeath using necromancy but with fire magic instead of death magic or light magic? The margrave said that necromancy is necromancy no matter what type of magic is used.. did Alexstraza use necromancy?

  11. Dam it, why is it when Nobbel tells the story it doesn't sound gawd awful… to bad it is… and the Great injustice they committed against "The One True King, Arthas!" Carry on Nobbel, it's the only way I'll ever experience this game again.

  12. I gotta be honest, Blizzard managed to a least salvage this trainwreck of a story to some degree. Yes the story of Shadowlands was not great, it sucked a lot, but what little we got was pretty good.
    Sylvanas regaining her "humanity" and accepting her actions was pretty interesting. Anduin's corruption and eventual doubt in himself had me on egde about what was gonna happen to him. Uther's story was pretty good too, him turning against the Kyrians probably due to him missing a piece of himself after Frostmourne devoured part of his soul, was a nice take. And I think Arthas' fate was pretty fitting for him if you ask me. I wish we'd gotten to see a bit more of him, but I actually liked how he met his end.
    That said, I wish they had done more with the story. Explored more zones of the Shadowlands and allowed us to encounter other dead characters we hadn't seen for a while, or had never met in wow at all, like Durotan, Lothar, etc.

  13. So its confirmed we get a timeskip, 3 years? I kinda had hoped for longer. Like a decade or more, give the time to come up with some actually original characters, villians and storylines

  14. I have to keep pausing to get through the cutscene dialogue… Everyone speaks like they're saying the most profound life changing emotional sentence ever, all the time. It's painful.

  15. Shadowlands had alot of very great climaxes with well made cutsceens but they all end up feeling unearned, so little time too explain charackter motivation and actually showing whats happening. Its like the game we play and the story they show dont actually fit togheter
