   @confederatehobo let me say this, Illidan and Kael'thas both did nothing wrong. In some ways, what Arthas did wasn't wrong either.

     @MK2boogaloo @confederatehobo >scenario writer presents no alternative to the culling of Stratholme
     >scenario writer is upset that people say "Arthas did nothing wrong" when he deliberately wrote a contrived scenario where Arthas is forced to kill civilians to try to combat the plague
     
     Arthas, Illidan, Kael'thas, and Garrosh did nothing wrong.

     @lichelordgodfrey @confederatehobo I would say that Arthas did one thing wrong, sparing Sylvanas. That bitch doesn't deserve to live as an undead. But overall, you're quite right.

     you don't understand. doing the thing is what made Arthas become evil. It's like Anakin going to the dark side. The intent was bad, even if the outcome was good

     @Xenophon @MK2boogaloo @confederatehobo huh now that I think about it, I think George Lucas did Anakin's fall better than Blizzard did with Arthas lmao

     @Tactical @MK2boogaloo @confederatehobo Warcraft's best was when it was a race war but it didn't say that explicitly (WC1 and 2).

     In hindsight, the coolest parts of WC3 are the Undead and Night elves, and they quickly retconned the Night Elves having a society where the women fight (and are generally taller/stronger than humans) and the men .. I guess think, and commune with nature, with World of Warcraft's release.

     WC3 wasn't "based" but it was at least a fun game.

     Tall tomboyish warmongering Elves? Blizzard understood us back then....

     @MK2boogaloo @confederatehobo @Tactical I remember the Orcs describing the Night Elves as being "strange women that look and fight like men!" when encountering them for the first time.

     I'd have to replay it, which I guess I might do at some point.

     @lichelordgodfrey @MK2boogaloo @confederatehobo I didn't like any of the post wc3 lore. And they never ended up making a sequel....

     @CatLord @MK2boogaloo @confederatehobo Everything after Arthas loses his soul I can look past because he's been corrupted and enthralled.

     Oh, speaking of Arthas again, because nobody except spergs gives a damn about the story and consistency, Arthas technically has the "good" side of him, the Arthas part (rather than the Lich King part) shattered three times.

     Once in the end of the "Rise of the Lich King" novel, once during a quest in-game in Icecrown, and then it reappears in the "Fall of the Lich King" cinematic after his defeat in his citadel, and gets sent to Hell or whatever the afterlife is for people like him (yes I'm aware of the gay Shadowlands, nobody at blizz knew about that til they made it up years later)

     I'd pay to have this garbage excised from my memory, tbh

     @birdulon @MK2boogaloo @confederatehobo @Tactical @lichelordgodfrey REIGN OF CHAOS WAS THE MAIN STORY WITH A CLEAR THROUGHLINE
     FROZEN THRONE WAS A SCATTERSHOT OF CONSEQUENCES NOW THAT EVERYTHING IS FUCKED
     I EXPECTED WOW TO BE MORE OF THAT, MORE OF THE KNOCK ON FROM REIGN OF CHAOS
     BUT BECAUSE THE TWO GAMES WERE DEVELOPED CONCURRENTLY OUT OF THAT RPG-STRATEGY CONCEPT OF THE VERY EARLY WC3 ALPHA, THERE WAS NO TIME TO DO THIS
     SO INSTEAD ITS NEW GOOFY SHIT LIKE ONYXIA
