I'm not confused. I say how it is.
I'm not sure if I have ever talked with a 3 year old to know how to do it. It is not a copy tho. What I'm trying to say is that companies use inclusivity only when it suits them, and only if they can reuse currently available assets. Business should not be about only increasing profits, but serving communities. Our very perception should change.
Undead dorfs would be too much for any power to contain : too easy for the scourge to take over Azeroth and w/e the great dark beyond with dorves in their army thats why they had to make this sad excuse of a canon.
Well there is an undead gnome in UC.
Leper gnomes aren't undead though
There's these guys though, but, IIRC, Lich King can raise pretty much anyone and anything, usual rules of necromancy don't really apply to him.
Guess it is just because blizzard did not yet have the time to create forsaken versions of other races.
Infact there should be a extreem amount of Forsaken High Elf if you consider Arthas destroying there kingdom and i bet he got a large amount back to life to empower his undead army.
As for dwarfs not so sure the amount of Dwarfs that where in the kingdom once Arthas got on a rampage.
You are fake news.
The forsaken are not mindless at all. One of the 1st quests at the deathknell is to kill the mindless scourge, the "undead" that do not fit to become forsaken.
This is actually the reason of why the forsaken were one of the top races with the highest int and spirit, back in vanilla wow (where even a point of int or spirit, mattered).
We do have an undead dwarf in-game with Thane Korth'azz, one of the original Four Horseman within the Scourge.
I think the reason is more practical than lore based. Basically it saves the devs the need to create other models and deal with the envitable cries for dwarf undead etc. to be playable.
Kathranis is correct in Forsaken being formerly mindless. Mindless is what Forsaken call undead under the LK's control.
Kathranis is incorrect in saying that Sylvanas freed them from Arthas' control during WC3, that is something she did in Vanilla.
I think people vastly over-think things sometimes. Lordaeron was a human kingdom that fell to the scourge. Most of the undead IN Lordaeron when the Lich King was weakened were humans. Most of the "newer" Forsaken added to their ranks post-cata were from areas bordering Lordaeron which were, again, human.
Sure you've got your outliers and there probably are in-lore some dwarfs but honestly it's just statistically far, far more likely that you'll see former humans.
Knowledge is power, and power corrupts. So study hard and be evil.
It was addressed at a Blizzcon a long time ago that more races would (should) be included in the Forsaken count, but the reason we don't see their physical representation in-game as Forsaken is due to model and texture limitations. Having to make undead variants with full player quality of each race would be a tall order. For everything else, though, there's Death Knight skins. That said, if you could make any of the races with "their Death Knight skin" and just have them have the Forsaken racial (while still being able to select the given Forsaken and/or prior race's classes), that much may be doable... but I don't think that much of a question has been posited to them for answering, yet.
