      Well, not really. The titans created souls and gave them to all their creations. You could still destroy the titans machines and their souls would go to the shadowlands, like any other.
      Yogg just cursed them with flesh, and muddled their purpose, causing them to go about their own desires instead of the titans, ultimately buying the old gods time and influence to spread their corruption.

I could have been a quest about not knowing we died and trying to be the heros of Azeroth in another world, trying to get the favors of the deaths gods to be able to go back into Azeroth before N'zoth kill us and this time we save our reality and we won the fight.

His entire existence is painful so having his voice come out in pained whispers (Like an old man gasping for air.) was a neat little detail. Plus, his quotes are pretty badass, "My whispers will liquefy your mind."

      In fairness he got more than 1 patch. He was controlling Deathwing. He was running the show in Nazjatar & in Stormsong Valley. I agree, it would have been cooler if Ny'alotha were like Argus -- a whole final patch zone instead of just a raid. But I also think the criticism of Ny'alotha has been a little unfair & comes from the playerbase being cranky at the time it came out.
      Ny'alotha was a good raid & for my money is still the coolest looking raid we've ever had by a decent margin.

    Those quests continue all the way through Kalimdor as your character continues south and culminates in Tanaris/Un'goro when everyone realizes "oh fuck, theres bugs in them hills."
    All this to say, "a good bug is a dead bug."

    Hi hello I am one of the local nerds who thinks N'zoth isn't dead! I think he is *greatly* reduced and that his shell is very much dead mind you. Xal'atath's dagger held her own essence for a long time and is known for abandoning its owner. So, Wrathion is holding the dagger, he stabs N'zoth, a portion of his essence is absorbed into the dagger as a failsafe, and it vanishes from Wrathion's hand suddenly. It would honestly be weirder to me if that isn't what happened since the deal with Xal'atath included the dagger and N'zoth having a purpose for it that otherwise is never expanded on. It trades hands so many times afterward I'm convinced it was intentional.
    As for how past-N'zoth can give us prophecies for things beyond his death yeah the void sees the future very different. They see every future and have to try and make contingencies while not knowing which timeline they are actually in. The thing is that he sees us, we are alive, we might as well in our current state at that point be an anchor to tell him EXACTLY which timeline he is in. Given the things we fight a lot of those timelines are likely ones where we die so process of elimination is pretty great here.

      I am gonna have to disagree with you, there are actually plenty of settings/franchises that get very detailed about the afterlife/what happens when you die that I feel people never acknowledge. For instance, Planescape is a very popular DnD setting/sourcebook that deals heavily with the Outer Planes and it's one of the more popular and beloved DnD settings. For Shadowlands the problem is that most of the lore about the afterlife contradicts, retcons, or otherwise undermines all the previously established information we had on the afterlife, and doesn't put in the effort to make the new stuff compelling or consistent.

    • @MrHiglon

      @@chugiakjrtheplaywwright6461
      I agree with your example of Planescape. Loved Torment and its detailed idea of death and especially the dustmens true death concept. Yet I still believe that every appropriate setting (as in not PeppaPig or a Comedy or such) is worse off having any description of death that trivialises it's apparent real world implications no matter how well it is constructed. I recently played through the orc heritage armor questline where you talk to known deceased orc heroes as if they just exist somewhere else without any implication of an altered existence, mellowing Saurfangs death to no end. The setting of Wow especially is ingrained with aspects of horoism, overcoming adversary and the heroes journey in such a way that lowering the stakes through a mellowing of death goes against its very dna. Of course settings like DnD with their petitioners or other settings where souls are effectively energy as in "they different state of existence to their prior conciousness that doing whatever they're doing in the afterlive" are infinitely better descriptions. WoW sadly went descriptive and in doing so went anthithetical. In all such cases it's a detriment imho.

    • @TheDemocrab
      @TheDemocrab 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      They just needed to match the world/level design and dialogue with the lore basically telling us we're only exploring a tiny part of the overall Shadowlands rather than the whole thing. There's so much that makes it look like what we saw was it when there's also a lot of little tidbits of lore outright saying there's millions of potential afterlives rather than just the four among other stuff, but if they'd made it overt we're only going into the areas with the biggest problems, gave a few hints of some of the unseen areas (eg. Chasing someone and quickly dash through another afterlife we don't actually explore, dialogue descriptions of some of them, etc) then it'd have kept the bulk of the mystery while still allowing an afterlife EP.
      Obviously there's other flaws with stuff like Zovaal but exploring the afterlife by itself wasn't the problem with SL.

    He was THE enemy. The big guy behind Cataclysm. Twilight's Hammer. Naga. The schemer, the weakest yet smartest of his kind. And he died in a patch. Killed by a laser beam.

      I don't understand what you're saying. The old lore was "hey adventurer, let's kill one or two nasty gods there ! How ? We don't have time!" Then MoP came and finally made something interesting by saying the Old god there was already dead, and for good reasons, while still having even more repercussions than the others. Legion and Chronicles confirmed it to be a big things, even though they wanted us to forget how dumb Vanilla BC and WotLK have been made, with barely any fix in thoughts. And finally BC smartly expanded on it by creating a new concept, and finally getting rid of a last old god. N'zoth who has been teased and fought for years since Cataclysm, all that ending in a final compaign detailed how we could, for once, actually learn how to actually kill an old God. And thus, The weakest DTA ever got permanently killed by mortals (in a against-the-clock fight before he got all his powers back), after the most powerful one has been defeated by Aman'thul. C'Thun and Yogg are technically not dead, as Blizzard stated themselves. Whatever they currently say for the sake of the hype and nostalgia.

Then WoW, and so all the shit made for fellow simple adventurers killing cosmic menaces with swords and arrows. Boring as hell, before MoP, or even Cataclysm when at least, we never fought N'Zoth directly, and instead returned to the "simple" Old Ones like shown in Warcraft 3, which posed already some serious threat.

      @mokarokas-1727 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@Aztonio Like I said, the biggest lore rewrites came in 2016 with the Chronicle. Up until that point Old Gods were stated to be considerably stronger than titans. Most of what the titans were said to do on Azeroth are now attributed to the Keepers they created. The first hint that this might change did, to be fair, come earlier with Sargeras letting himself be defeated by Aegwynn being changed to it only being an avatar created by a small sliver of his power. Consequently, Broxigar actually giving Sargeras himself a small wound is quite a ridiculous concept now that titans are changed to be planet-sized... =') So 2016 is a pretty sharp turning point, and pre-2016 includes most of WoW's lifespan.
      Once again, you're saying the lore was sparse because most of it was never explained (and sometimes never seen) in-game. You had to read books and comics to get the context. But putting the lackluster presentation of the old lore aside, I think the old lore itself was more interesting. I think the most simple way I can explain it to you is this: if the old lore was kept and presented in the same way we see the new lore in the game today, I think that story would be way better.

The corruption known as the Emerald Nightmare was N'Zoth's project. It was N'Zoth whom Xavius ultimately served.
    On another note, I wish they designed a better mythic version of the N'Zoth fight. I could imagine a part of the fight where they would have to fight visions of Deathwing, Azshara and Xavius. That would have made that fight so much more satisfying for me.

    The Nya'lotha raid as well as horrific visions were absolutely awesome in my opinion, the visions might look "meh" because they really are just instanced solo-ish content of what might happen which is kind of lame lorewise, but I always thought of it as N'zoth tormenting the player personally with exactly what was going to happen if he wasn't stopped, and when you do go into the visions, literally nothing and no one was spared from being twisted and corrupted, Alleria kills her family, the toy salesman and vendors of stormwind are all insane manic cultists, and all your enemies are just the people living in the city, all so completely insane and beyond hope that they're puppets on strings. Plus there was still infighting from characters like Valeera and Kelsey who somehow hadn't fallen yet, I remember the Valeera mission was about assassinating a corrupted Matthias Shaw, which hit hard since he was such a central character in BFA that was really likable. Of course, this would all be better if N'zoth showed up to the actual capitals and started doing shit instead of it just being a nightmare, but there's a lot of reasons why that wouldn't work as well and I see why they didn't do it, though I would've loved N'zoth corrupting some characters and us actually having to put them down and mourn their deaths, like how Broken Shore for Legion made us feel so overwhelmed when the demons just tore through the cast and killed Tyrion, Varian, and Vol'jin. It wasn't a perfect patch, but as someone who played actively through it and even heroic raided for the first time then, I really enjoyed it.

    The Old God in shadowland, the image you shown of it was the Maw of C'thun, it's literally the thing you find in Hearthstone in the card, C'thun, The Shattered that was a part of the Madness at the Darkmoon Faire expansion.
