@@Athelarius It would've been really cool if they had an option to do this scenario with a player from another faction. Both Horde Player and Alliance Player have to work together.
Thank you, appreciate it. My personal favorite part of this expansion is all the individual stories and questlines you can accompany with major lore characters (like the Night Warrior, Voljin search, and the latest Thrall, Saurfang one). Definitely the saving grace in BFA.
Thrall is the green jesus that is the only thing that keeps the horde from going super villian. Orcs are demon loving genocidal world invaders, then Thrall comes and refocuses them to shamanism. (Thrall's horde) The moment Thrall gives command to another (Garrosh) the horde becomes genocidal again. (True horde) Then we have the iron horde orcs, the generation before Thrall, and they show that they all genocidal even without the demon blood. (Iron horde) Then Voljin takes command and all is good again for a small time. Then he dies and GIVES command to Sylvanas, even he himselfs says this is an bad idea but does it anyway. The writers say that they were going to write this horde morally grey but just make another super villian (Current horde). Thrall is a good character but his contrast witht he faction just shows how weakly the horde is written as a whole. The horde is fun but it is way too reliant on Thrall. Without him in the lead the entire faction falls apart within seconds. I like Thrall but i dislike that he is the only thing holding one of the two main factions functoning, this makes him look bad. Good character/ bad situation
I'm still confused why Rexxar isn't part of the whole Bane escape plot. Rexxar is a close friend of Cairne and Baine. It seems odd to not include him from the writers.
Kinda surprised they reference old quotes from MoP. But I love that they do, MoP had some pretty strong moments once people put aside the whole panda thing.

@@wetnoodlex Still... Jaina never truely feel like that... Bcoz If she did , She must accept her crime for massacred the Sunreavers , so she never does.
@@justiceavenger275 In a setting like warcraft, where even the good guys have blood on their hands, having a body count doesn't mean that much end of the day.
Reflecting on BFA, I think it got some things wrong, but this entire arc was just beautiful. Baine's quote "No life is worth living if we cannot be true to our nature" has stuck with me and always makes me cry HARD
If I do deep pondering on that, I am wondering whether the outcome of that would not be neutral. What is our nature? Either you make it diverse or you make it more or less the same for everybody. Is Sylvanas not following her nature?
@Hydra As if those poisoned blades wouldn't slice of his arms. This is not realistic. The way they portrayed the undead Forsaken assassin and the unarmored Orc warlord it's not realistic.

Don't like it, because I imagines stealth always as ... stealth. as sneaking around and not the same as an invisibility potion is. But I mean, okay, I tell myself that this is also shadow magic or an invisiblity potion they used. Because if not, I would ask myself, why can't Warlocks or Shadow Priests make themself invisible with shadow magic? And why would a character, who has taken an Invisibility potion, not try to sneak (they have running animation), when stealth is shadow magic that makes invisible and rogues in stealth try to sneak, too? WoW is not OW, it is a game that is fun through immersion. And modern WoW is so inconsistent, like it never was. I mean, you have to be ignorant or straight up dumb to not realize all the inconsistencies. Before WoD there were far less. Blizzard either stopped to be able to be good or they just don't want the effort of consistency anymore. They just grow more and more bad. For the bad new graphics the cutscenes are amazing, though.
Next Chapter: th-cam.com/video/-MdCnP_sB-c/w-d-xo.html Hiya Folks! Now this one here was a labor of love! I’ve wanted to cover this once I knew where Saurfang was heading to back in 8.1.

Take care! “You and I…. we don’t get to hide.” -Saurfang
@@cyzcyt well thanks for clarifying! got really confused when they meet up and show the horde side and then the alliance side in a seamless transition xD
I love it when the Horde & Alliance questlines interconnect like that, instead of two separate campaigns that happen at different locations and whatnot. Thank ya! :D
thank man for all the WOW video, never play them but really like the warcraft 3, so been following the wow video just for the story glad u keep on provide them
The story is just MOP reskin Sylvanas=Garrosh Queen Azshara=Lei shen N'zoth= y'shaarj Baine=Vol'jin kul tiras and zandalar=Pandaria (split into 2) xal'atath = Heart of Y'Shaarj teldrassil= Bombing of theramore
How can you still compare that fucking Sylvanas to Garrosh? Garrosh: DID cared about the Horde, he had honor, he wasn't a coward and he was a respectable and powerful enemy. Sylvanas: She is a slut
While I agree there are similarities, you also need to consider the broader picture and what lead us to these crossroads once again. I think that's the point they are trying to make, the horde and the alliance need to stop fighting if they hope to secure their world against the greater forces who wish to destroy it. The fact this has happened a second time has meant these characters are reflecting on the first time. Slyvanas probably learned a few things watching the previous rebellion and knowing her cunning ways will most likely sacrifice the entirety of Azeroth before losing. TL:DR I think the first half of the story is very similar, yes but we're only at the halfway mark I think we can expect to see some developments nearing the end of BFA which will be different
I'd love to see a fully done night elf (cough Tyrande) with the new cgi they have going on. We've seen humans, orcs and greymane so far, it'd be a perfect opportunity to fill in some Night Elf lore. Yea there were some background NELF in the BFA cinematic but not in such detail.
Thank you for doing all of these! I don't play anymore but I love the story, and because of you I don't feel left out. I really appreciate the time you take out of your life to do these!!
Years ago, I created a Horde account not because I admire the Horde but because I can relate and agree with Cairne's view and philosophy, which is why the only 2 characters I played is a Tauren Druid and a Tauren Shaman. Baine just made me feel proud that I made the choice to be a Tauren even though I have stopped playing for years after WotLK.
Imagine having a cinematic in the end, where they'll show the big battle where they all fight together against Azshara, but in a style of Old Soldier, Lost Honor and Safe Heavens.
@@scottbergisch9307 Indeed! It'd be really cool. I would love to see Jaina and Baine in realistic style, as well as all the other characters we didn't get to see. In fact, I am sure that there will be a cinematic where Anduin puts his helmet on. They released small mixed cinematic trailer where you could see that small shot of him. It was showed nowhere yet, so I have a theory that there will be a cinematic battle!
said master in the taverne the same evening: " and then i standing there with the 3 painted bushes my kid did the other day" "they didnt see you?" "of course not im a master at my job" "go home shaw you´re drunk again" "but im telling the truth...hicks!"
Thanks for making this the tears were real I’ve played alliance since beta but I’ve never loved the horde more than now thrall and friends will bring honor back to the horde. RIP world tree
Thank you, I appreciate it! The individual questlines you get to accompany various characters this xpac is the strongest feature imo. So I like to piece it all together (like the campaign) once the bigger picture comes into play. Cinematic and VA departments also killing it so far!
Amazing work as always! I have not played WOW since Wrath of The Lich King, but I still follow the story. The lore, characters & cinematics are simply amazing.
The scene of Jaina and Thrall.. that right there was Chris Metzen level of Warcraft... and two insanely talented people giving it their all. the cinematic, the writing was good, the animations perfect and the voice acting is Hollywood+.. and thats the effort the whole game wouldve needed... not less.. not save money to make smarthphone games for chinese market... This company needs the heart of Blizzard back...
so Saurfang allies are Lorthemar's elves, Zappy Boi, Pickle Jesus, some taurens loyal to the Earth Mother and who else? Sylvannas has the undead, goblins, pandaren(?), the alt draenor orc, and the trolls... i'm still curious who is siding with Sylvannas and Saurfang.
I'm pretty sure the Darkspear will support Saurfang honestly, it'd be very weird if they didn't. Doesn't Rokhan give Thrall and Saurfang a totem to sneak around the underhold? Idk I think I remember that
Pandarens will likely stay "neutral", goblins will go with profit so if the odds will be on the saurfang they will go with him, dreanor orcs... honestly they have no reason for supporting sylvanas and trolls are rather 50/50 because you will have the trolls that belive that spirits/loa told to vol'jin to make her warchief so they belive it but part of trolls will just go with saurfang just because its saurfang and thrall who are seen by them as worth following for their deeds and part of trolls just see that she is bad.
Thank you kindly, appreciate it! And that's the main point, to help people keep up/catch up with the lore/storylines. Especially since BFA puts more emphasis on campaigns with individual characters.
Thank you so much for all your hard work at putting this together. I never get to see these end-game scenarios, due to being a casual gamer, and this made me so happy to get to see. ^5
Yoooo I just realized when thrall says “sometimes it feels I’ve done everything wrong” is exactly what Jaina says when her mother comes to rescue her from the blighted lands cinematic
Hey buddy thanks a bunch! I've always loved Baine and now that the story is finally focusing him, I'm not currently playing and I dont really intend to either. I'll be watching your channel for an update when it comes out!
for a number of reasons. 1) she got vengeance for vol'jin and was directly appointed by him, one of the most respected members of the horde 2) she led them against the mother loving Burning Legion and WON! (admittedly with help, but still) 3) in the wake of Sword.com, shit started hitting the fan, kinda like it was when Garrosh took over, and she's handled it fairly well. On top of that she got the people to believe (not incorrectly) that it was only a matter of time before the Alliance came after the now (weakened) horde post legion. And while the Tauren were absolutely against the war against the night elves and the burning of teldrassil, Orcs LOVE battle and conquest and have generally considered the night elves to be mortal enemies because they won't let them have much needed lumber (as more lumber is always required) ever since Ogrimare and their territory was founded. The trolls have been at war with the night elves for over ten thousand years (probably closer to fifteen thousand years), the forsaken are loyal to Sylvie to a fault, the pandaren don't have the numbers to matter, and the Suramar elves were so salty over Tyrande being a massive bitch that they joined the horde despite being of the same people as the night elves, so a few probably don't have a problem with the war and do enjoy the spoils from it. But again, the three largest populations hate elves/love sylve and she's giving them what they want. 4) she's basically doubled the Horde's territory in kalimdor. Any leader who does that is gonna be pretty popular, especially if its at the expense of a hated foe.
Also is it just me or do the good Horde leaders always appoint shitty ones to replace them? Thrall > Garrosh and then Vol'jin > Syvlanas. Also i'm still pissed off that they killed Vol'jin off without allowing him to do anything, Horde isn't allowed to have good leadership I guess.
If Baine becomes warchief, then the horde and alliance are going to become all nice again like the end of Warcraft III before WoW started. Any ideas how that will change? The only thing that I can think of is something happens to the alliance leadership and corrupts them
There are tons of threats that exist on Azeroth that have the possibility of corrupting and messing up everything - Bolvar losing control and becoming a new destructive Lich King, Void Lords still existing somewhere in the universe, Genn Greymane being a general dick and hating anyone Horde related to begin with, Tyrande being this new rage of Elune knight instead of a priestess might have unexpected consequences, Forsaken that did not support Sylvanas in the least being criticized and heavily scorned internally by the Horde because of Sylvanas, there's...yeah, there's a lot of options to internally trigger problems. It's a world of WARcraft after all. Alas, while peace might exist for a little bit, the Warcraft universe simply can't exist without some kind of issue going on in it.
If previous Horde leadership is any indicator, then Baine will simply appoint a bloodthirsty maniac as leader to replace him, just like Thrall did with Garrosh and Vol'jin did with Sylvanas. Have they explained yet why the fuck Vol'jin thought that was a good idea? He was supposed to see a vision from the spirits that led him to that decision, are they ever going to address that?
I mean vengeance is cyclical so if you want peace vengeance kinda has to be the first thing to go. Which is ashame because I really liked the Sunreavers and I kinda want Jaina to experience some kind of consequence for that since Garrosh experienced consequences for Theramore and Sylvanas is probably going to experience consequences for Teldrassil...probably, I say probably because it's Sylvanas and someone on the writing team seems to want to bang her.
Good job! I am no longer playing BFA but I am interested in the lore so this was a nice treat! Here's hoping for you to continue to do this as the story progresses! Thank you!
10:43 look how big their arms in, in comparison to the twigs that are the assassins' arms. its like the mountain vs someone even smaller than oberyn martell. thrall could literally rip them in half, but holds them like its a struggle for him
I like the references to Taran Zhu. MoP was really one of the best expansion storywise. I wish the pandashan would intervene. Also I really really really hope we will see some battle actions between the three sisters or at least between Alleria and Sylvanas, with those amazing cinematics from Blizzard. Seeing Alleria turn into Voidform and Sylvanas turn into Banshee and fight each other in a cinematic would be so freaking cool.
man the effort you put into this video, I've never had an emotional attachment as much as i have had for warcraft and i've been upset with the games direction but the story of it is still so good i just went on an emotional roller coaster
At the start of this video; are you telling me varok saurfang created that elabarote stone wooden tent, in the middle of swamp of sorrows? when he could of just made a hammock...
The thing that I liked about this expansion was that Saurfang told to Anduin that even in 1000 years the Alliance couldn't match all the atrocities that the Horde did overall. It's pretty much flat out stated who the bad guys are.. The horde need A LOT of soul searching to do before they can be considered "Neutral", let alone "Good". The fact that Thrall is leading the Orcs, and that the sister of Arthas is leading the Forsaken shows some promise.

Thank you for doing all of these! I don't play anymore but I love the story, and because of you I don't feel left out. I really appreciate the time you take out of your life to do these!!
Years ago, I created a Horde account not because I admire the Horde but because I can relate and agree with Cairne's view and philosophy, which is why the only 2 characters I played is a Tauren Druid and a Tauren Shaman.
Baine just made me feel proud that I made the choice to be a Tauren even though I have stopped playing for years after WotLK.
Imagine having a cinematic in the end, where they'll show the big battle where they all fight together against Azshara, but in a style of Old Soldier, Lost Honor and Safe Heavens.
Azshara with a realistic fleshed out model would look soooo cool and scary.
@@scottbergisch9307 Indeed! It'd be really cool. I would love to see Jaina and Baine in realistic style, as well as all the other characters we didn't get to see. In fact, I am sure that there will be a cinematic where Anduin puts his helmet on. They released small mixed cinematic trailer where you could see that small shot of him. It was showed nowhere yet, so I have a theory that there will be a cinematic battle!
7:17 master of stealth and covert ops....hides behind painted wooden bushes lol
Some traditions must be preserved
lol
when you are a master at craft ... ANY tool will suffice ... for true skill takes no effort
said master in the taverne the same evening:
" and then i standing there with the 3 painted bushes my kid did the other day"
"they didnt see you?"
"of course not im a master at my job"
"go home shaw you´re drunk again"
"but im telling the truth...hicks!"
Surprisingly these fake Tree's protected covert operative's effectively for years by now.
An amazing job you have done here! thank you for all the time you invested and the effort of making this great "movie".
Thanks for making this the tears were real I’ve played alliance since beta but I’ve never loved the horde more than now thrall and friends will bring honor back to the horde. RIP world tree
I would like to leave my gratitude for your magnificent work !!!! Sensational !!! Everything synchronized !!! Thank you
This is very good! I enjoyed it a lot and it helped me understand more of what happened so far since I don't play WOW.
Please more of this!
This was brilliantly edited. I love the way you wove both storylines into one cohesive one.
You knitted the Horde and Alliance gameplay and cinematics together very well.
This was very well cut, good job.
Caught me right up to speed
Jaina: Once before you and I stood on the slopes of Mount Hyjal...
Thrall: Aw sh#t, here we go again...
Jaina and Thrall the feels ...and the nostalgia
thanks for this! As someone who loves the lore but does not necesserily always see the late content I'm happy to see it here so well cut together
Thank you, I appreciate it! The individual questlines you get to accompany various characters this xpac is the strongest feature imo. So I like to piece it all together (like the campaign) once the bigger picture comes into play. Cinematic and VA departments also killing it so far!
very awesome quest chain. thank you for putting them together in the video.
Amazing work as always! I have not played WOW since Wrath of The Lich King, but I still follow the story. The lore, characters & cinematics are simply amazing.
Thanks for putting this together Athelarius, rly appreciated!
Thank you, appreciate it! :D
The scene of Jaina and Thrall.. that right there was Chris Metzen level of Warcraft... and two insanely talented people giving it their all. the cinematic, the writing was good, the animations perfect and the voice acting is Hollywood+.. and thats the effort the whole game wouldve needed... not less.. not save money to make smarthphone games for chinese market... This company needs the heart of Blizzard back...
Well done, nicely put together. Much appriciated and props on the great work!
Thank you kindly! Appreciate it! :D
so Saurfang allies are Lorthemar's elves, Zappy Boi, Pickle Jesus, some taurens loyal to the Earth Mother and who else?
Sylvannas has the undead, goblins, pandaren(?), the alt draenor orc, and the trolls...
i'm still curious who is siding with Sylvannas and Saurfang.
I'm pretty sure the Darkspear will support Saurfang honestly, it'd be very weird if they didn't.
Doesn't Rokhan give Thrall and Saurfang a totem to sneak around the underhold? Idk I think I remember that
@@tzanmartxn he did. I think Rokhan is on Saurfang's side.
Rexxar and Thalyssra are also on Saurfang's side.
Pandarens will likely stay "neutral", goblins will go with profit so if the odds will be on the saurfang they will go with him, dreanor orcs... honestly they have no reason for supporting sylvanas and trolls are rather 50/50 because you will have the trolls that belive that spirits/loa told to vol'jin to make her warchief so they belive it but part of trolls will just go with saurfang just because its saurfang and thrall who are seen by them as worth following for their deeds and part of trolls just see that she is bad.
Mag'har orcs will NEVER support Sylvanas. Orcs are the pure opposite what that slut is.
You should be proud of your editing. The way you did it is fucking amazing.
Thank you for this Athelarius, these videos are awesome for who doesn't play the game at the moment.
Thank you kindly, appreciate it! And that's the main point, to help people keep up/catch up with the lore/storylines. Especially since BFA puts more emphasis on campaigns with individual characters.
What "sovereign king" was Saurfang referring to? I'm not aware of the Alliance assassinating any Horde leaders in their own home.
Thank you so much for all your hard work at putting this together. I never get to see these end-game scenarios, due to being a casual gamer, and this made me so happy to get to see. ^5
Very well put together video for catching up with what I've missed. thank you!
Lor'themar reminds me of Fenris from dragon age 2. I wonder if it's the same voice actor
Yoooo I just realized when thrall says “sometimes it feels I’ve done everything wrong” is exactly what Jaina says when her mother comes to rescue her from the blighted lands cinematic
I can tell how much work you've put together to put this video together. Subscribed.
wow this was so well put together. thanks!
Ok, so... your editing was flawless. Liked. Subbed. Bell'd.
Hey buddy thanks a bunch! I've always loved Baine and now that the story is finally focusing him, I'm not currently playing and I dont really intend to either. I'll be watching your channel for an update when it comes out!
"Sylvanas has the loyalty of the people"
WHY!?
By decree of her royal highness, all novelty moustaches are 50% off. Instant approval rating!
for a number of reasons.
1) she got vengeance for vol'jin and was directly appointed by him, one of the most respected members of the horde
2) she led them against the mother loving Burning Legion and WON! (admittedly with help, but still)
3) in the wake of Sword.com, shit started hitting the fan, kinda like it was when Garrosh took over, and she's handled it fairly well. On top of that she got the people to believe (not incorrectly) that it was only a matter of time before the Alliance came after the now (weakened) horde post legion. And while the Tauren were absolutely against the war against the night elves and the burning of teldrassil, Orcs LOVE battle and conquest and have generally considered the night elves to be mortal enemies because they won't let them have much needed lumber (as more lumber is always required) ever since Ogrimare and their territory was founded. The trolls have been at war with the night elves for over ten thousand years (probably closer to fifteen thousand years), the forsaken are loyal to Sylvie to a fault, the pandaren don't have the numbers to matter, and the Suramar elves were so salty over Tyrande being a massive bitch that they joined the horde despite being of the same people as the night elves, so a few probably don't have a problem with the war and do enjoy the spoils from it. But again, the three largest populations hate elves/love sylve and she's giving them what they want.
4) she's basically doubled the Horde's territory in kalimdor. Any leader who does that is gonna be pretty popular, especially if its at the expense of a hated foe.
@@luciussulla2641 I support her on my Tauren Hunter. Because she knows war more then Anyone. And Varian Respected her
Also is it just me or do the good Horde leaders always appoint shitty ones to replace them? Thrall > Garrosh and then Vol'jin > Syvlanas. Also i'm still pissed off that they killed Vol'jin off without allowing him to do anything, Horde isn't allowed to have good leadership I guess.
because she gets sh*t done. She fights and she wins; it's that simple.
If Baine becomes warchief, then the horde and alliance are going to become all nice again like the end of Warcraft III before WoW started. Any ideas how that will change? The only thing that I can think of is something happens to the alliance leadership and corrupts them
There are tons of threats that exist on Azeroth that have the possibility of corrupting and messing up everything - Bolvar losing control and becoming a new destructive Lich King, Void Lords still existing somewhere in the universe, Genn Greymane being a general dick and hating anyone Horde related to begin with, Tyrande being this new rage of Elune knight instead of a priestess might have unexpected consequences, Forsaken that did not support Sylvanas in the least being criticized and heavily scorned internally by the Horde because of Sylvanas, there's...yeah, there's a lot of options to internally trigger problems. It's a world of WARcraft after all. Alas, while peace might exist for a little bit, the Warcraft universe simply can't exist without some kind of issue going on in it.
If previous Horde leadership is any indicator, then Baine will simply appoint a bloodthirsty maniac as leader to replace him, just like Thrall did with Garrosh and Vol'jin did with Sylvanas. Have they explained yet why the fuck Vol'jin thought that was a good idea? He was supposed to see a vision from the spirits that led him to that decision, are they ever going to address that?
I don't think Baine becoming Warchief is going to endear the Horde to the Alliance. Too many bridges have been burnt.
@@Necromitzu1 They did adress that. In a shitty way, but basically he was tricked.
N'zoth most likely
That was very well edited, and assembled in a way that was easy to understand! Thank you very much for your efforts!
"There must be vengeance for Teldrassil. But..." And thus there was never vengeance for Teldrassil... The End.
I mean vengeance is cyclical so if you want peace vengeance kinda has to be the first thing to go. Which is ashame because I really liked the Sunreavers and I kinda want Jaina to experience some kind of consequence for that since Garrosh experienced consequences for Theramore and Sylvanas is probably going to experience consequences for Teldrassil...probably, I say probably because it's Sylvanas and someone on the writing team seems to want to bang her.
Good job! I am no longer playing BFA but I am interested in the lore so this was a nice treat! Here's hoping for you to continue to do this as the story progresses! Thank you!
what music is that from 21:14 onward? its not listed anywhere
Nice video mate really nice. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thank ye, glad ya liked it!
Very well edited!
Thank you for your splendid work
I love how you get both sides! Keep up the great videos !!
As always your editing is superb!
Thank you, Appreciate it! :D
Farmer thrall is like farmer rick turns back to killing undead pretty fast
"No life is worth living if we cannot be true to our nature"
I re-subbed to WoW because of 8.2. Blizz has really stepped up their story-telling chops. Bravo.
Great editing. Thanks.
I love hw you edited this. It's so good
Your editing skills on where to put the cutscenes is amazing. You now have a sub from me! 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Thank you kindly. Appreciate it! :D
13:35 goblin: Beware, beware, this tools!
Nice touch to jaina cinematic lmao
You uhh need to go reread that.
Nice edit of the war campaign, well done.
Can you help me with that flute cover of the song: Daughter of the sea from minute 04:26?
How I can get that epic song?
This was very well done, thank you!
10:43 look how big their arms in, in comparison to the twigs that are the assassins' arms. its like the mountain vs someone even smaller than oberyn martell. thrall could literally rip them in half, but holds them like its a struggle for him
I like the references to Taran Zhu.
MoP was really one of the best expansion storywise.
I wish the pandashan would intervene.
Also I really really really hope we will see some battle actions between the three sisters or at least between Alleria and Sylvanas, with those amazing cinematics from Blizzard.
Seeing Alleria turn into Voidform and Sylvanas turn into Banshee and fight each other in a cinematic would be so freaking cool.
Thanks for uploading this. It feels like I'm watching a movie.
It's nice to see how Baine became a wise and good leader like Cairne
Great editing!
Very nicely edited together. :)
I like the lore more than the gameplay of this expansion. Thank you for uploading this, saves me the trouble.
amazing video. Thank you sir! Subbed and rang the belllfor sure
- What's different this time?
- Your bicep got bigger.
warcraft used to have many factions, now there are only two : Sylvanas, anti-Sylvanas . the lore isn't the same as it used to be.
Thrall and Jaina's Friendship is the reason why i still keep watching wow cinematics even after not playing wow for ages.
nicely edited, gj!
man the effort you put into this video, I've never had an emotional attachment as much as i have had for warcraft and i've been upset with the games direction but the story of it is still so good i just went on an emotional roller coaster
I don't play WoW anymore, but i appreciate when i can be up to speed with the story line. THANX
Great job on this. Thank you.
Um, just curious, do most people on the Horde still love and support Thrall, Saurfang and Baine??
@@derekogletree2543 And Baine?
Lor'themar seems to remember the lessons of SoO. I still love this guy, ill hop he will be on the right way when the time has come...
I just love how Jaina is talking on the ship in Kul Tiras while the guy with the map next to her gives a damn about all she says.
"IS HE THE BOMB THIS TIME?" Theramore will haunt Jaina until the end.
At the start of this video;
are you telling me varok saurfang created that elabarote stone wooden tent, in the middle of swamp of sorrows? when he could of just made a hammock...
The thing that I liked about this expansion was that Saurfang told to Anduin that even in 1000 years the Alliance couldn't match all the atrocities that the Horde did overall. It's pretty much flat out stated who the bad guys are.. The horde need A LOT of soul searching to do before they can be considered "Neutral", let alone "Good". The fact that Thrall is leading the Orcs, and that the sister of Arthas is leading the Forsaken shows some promise.
