      Well Blizzard _was_ going to make a Warhammer RTS, but Gee Dubz decided to be _rude_ and pull out of the deal at the last moment, so they had to choose between scrapping a mostly finished game or slapping together their own art assets at the last minute and ship.
      So if Warcraft lore feels meandering, slapdash, and uncomfortably like a a shoddy knockoff of Warhammer that nobody really knows what to do with, well… that’s because it is.

    Love the video Plat, but you left out my favorite part of the Nessa/Gallywix plotline. It's true that every year Gallywix sends her a lovely present (a gorgeous, intricately painted portrait of himself basking in his riches) but you can't forget that Nessa reciprocates that love... by sending him back a bomb.
    True she's never managed to kill him, but it's the thought that counts!

    I think the main thing with the second half of the goblin starting area is that "clearly more important things are going on, but the goblins don't give a damn." Pygmies gaining intelligence through kajamite, Thrall wanting to team up against the cataclysm, but trying to survive an alliance assault first, killing the living god on the islands, causing this lush tropical "paradise" to explode and burn (which is peak goblin). They don't care, and thus, your goblin character also doesn't care.

    Goblins are often compared to Gnomes. However, my favourite aspect of Goblinkind is that their ingenuity, in contrast to Gnomes, is a direct consequence of their industriousness. They're so incredibly avaricious that they are constantly innovating in an attempt to make bank and sate their lust for gold with invention and entrepreneurialism.

      @@xxkaikaifilu Since you mentioned Sassy, I would have dropped the whole "goblin player character is next in line to be trade prince" bit and made that whole story about Sassy vs Gallywix. Treat the player character more like a regular goblin that gets caught in the middle of a faction war (heh) and comes out a hero at the end of it.
      Depending on how you characterize Sassy after that, you might get someone who seems easygoing but still gets results. Not to mention you can then write her to sort of connect with Sylvannas as they would be only two female leaders within the Horde at that point in time.

    best thing that ever happened to the goblins was gallywix fucking off & gazlowe becoming the new defacto leader of the bilgewater cartel after the events of BFA and SL, that would've been the perfect resolution to the goblin starting zone too, seeing how Gazlowe was there from the beginning in Warcraft 3, where he was the chief architect during Orgrimmar's initial construction. He's also literally the only fair goblin boss in-universe. All his workers are unionized, everyone gets hazard pay and PTO, because to Gazlowe, happy workers are efficient workers, and it pays off. Gazlowe has the best employee retention and most competitive positions out of every trade cartel combined, and that's canon. Basically any goblin would trip over themselves for a chance to be on his crew.
