the saddest, most emotionally powerful quests in wow?

[Tziva]

I don't think either exist anymore since Cataclysm, but the original Tirion Fordring chain with his son wins for me, followed by the Darrowshire quests with the Redpaths.

Hm, it's not really -sad-, but the quest in Duskwood where involving the brothers Mistmantle. He came all that way to find his brother was a murderer and somewhat already dead? I never understood if you summoned him from the grave, summoned him in general, or it was a ghost, he kinda just spawns in. But claims he and his brother are not so different as you kill him. It's just sad to see Tobias go through that.

I choked up each of the three times I did that quest chain.

Play Davy Jones's theme durring the last return to crusader, before the Naaru release him... it just feels so powerful.

I really could not decide whether it is Rhea serie or http://www.wowhead.com/quest=13068:

If we can pick 2, these are the best with no contest.

Lightning edit: A Tale of Valor, sorry Rhea. I still keep both the ring and egg on many of my toons' bags btw.

I can't think of a single bit of emotionally moving or really sad part of anything actually in WoW. The way it plays out/controls/such just makes me feel way too detatched, and it's hard to reconcile stuff with how my character exists in the world. Plus, frankly, the game just isn't written all that well. Blizzard stuff in general isn't. Maybe not a popular opinion, but to me, it just seems like they take X franchise, put a Blizzard "spin" on it, then throw in a bunch of pop culture references. BAM. Blizzard lore!

This one definitely has to be the quest that effected me most emotionally. Having to rush off to grab him ale thinking he'll be alright only to find out he wanted it to make dying easier. Then when you tell his father about it sends chills down my spine. Reminds me of that scene in 300 where the captain watches his son die and the narrator says something along the lines of, the most terrifying sound an enemy can hear is the rage filled cry of a grieving father. Not enough goblins in the world to bury to make up for his death. What makes it even more sad is that as a Horde player you're actually the one who causes the bomb to go off =(

I know it's been mentioned a fair bit but A Special Surprise always stops me from wanting to roll a dk
*sobs*

Also when Dezco's wife died. I felt a lot of anger then...

Lament of the Highborne. Poor Sylvanas.

Makes me sad

1000 times this. It makes me tear up every time. I never even thought I would miss Dadanga until they killed her off. I will never forgive them for it.

Just wondered if any of you guys could recall any of the most saddest, or emotionally powerful/moving quests in wow that you have done. I was doing a quest the other day on an alt in BC shadowmoon valley and a particular quest i cant remember the name of really hit me in an emotional spot. Imo there needs to be more of these sort of quest chains instead go out and kill x monsters and bring back x hides

Any new ones in cata anyone has run into that are worth mentioning?

For some reason any quest where you have to help the quest giver end his own wife's life because she's turned to evil/or a zombie or give them news of the death of a family member.

Those always get me right in the feels. I'm sorry Mankrik. I'm so sorry.

[TheWerebison]

Oh...I forgot to mention the Horde quest to kill Chief Engineer Cogwrench in Krasarang Wilds. For some reason, I feel a little sad when he dies, and his robot thing says, "COGWRENCH, YOU WERE SMALL AND I MISS YOU." I don't know what it is.

Anyway, not the SADDEST thing, but...makes me feel a little peculiar. :P

RIP Socks

[Eazy]

[MOEEEE]

This quest chain in Icecrown nearly brought me to tears by the end. ='(

This one right here. HOW many times do we go through such a large chain of quests, only to fail at actually achieving what we were after?

At least he got peace in the end.

I love Blizzard for this. They have done this for several people in the past. There is a dwarf by the Arathi Wall on the Hillsbrad side, for example, who is crying/saluting a grave. If you read the grave you see a name on it.

I forgot the name but it was a friend of one of the blizzard employees and the dwarf was the guys character and has the same name/armor/level as he was when he passed away.

That's the one. I always pay my respects to this grave when I pass through Hillsbrad.
