I watched the cinematics and like.. that's it? all this arbitrary bullshit war nonsense and all we get is a half-hearted duel outside orgimmar?
and I guess everyone is friends now???? fuck the alliance I guess. all those rabid loyal soldiers ready to fight and die for Sylvanas?? jk they were just acting and everything is fine, we good fam
consequences dont exist in this story whatsoever and every character is worse for it, and that hurts more than any contrived Orc Manpain death ever could
DISCLAIMER: it's not wrong to enjoy the game story as it is!!! but now that its officially over can we like.. can we all finally agree it wasnt good? can we stop pretending there was anything remotely deep or subtle about the plot or characters? "But sylvanas did this because" or " this detail is important because" horseshit!!! So many things had no payoff or served no purpose beyond surface level shock value and people wanna call it "thrilling" writing?? are you sure?? I would say an MMO just isnt the right medium for the kind of story they were trying to tell BUT THEN THERE'S SHADOWBRINGERS so like, I dont.. know why things had to be this way. BFA did lasting damage to the game in so many ways and GOSH it's frustrating
BITCHY HOT TAKE TIME of all the things WoW keeps lifting from FFXIV I wish they'd lift the quality of writing
