Sadly, I feel that Varian will be dying very soon(Expansion after WoD, I would say).
It is a shame really because Anduin is such an awful character and has no place in as High King.
I don't get why you guys keep hating on Jaina. Jaina was an absolutely terrible character pre-Theramore but it seems she wisened, she would make a fitting High Queen or even better, Shandris Feathermoon.
I kind of hope Varian doesn't die anytime soon. For me, MoP saw him become a pretty good leader and an interesting character who has actually developed over the course of WoW.
However, if he does die, I think there are certainly worse people who could take over than Anduin.
If that does happen, however, I would like to see one of the other racial leaders become the leader of the Alliance. I honestly don't have a strong preference for a particular one. I think they all could be interesting and made to work, even Mekkatorque! He's a badass!
I find Anduin one of WoW's worst characters ever, its bad enough that he got shoved down to the Horde's throat aswell as the Alliance's. Hopefully we won't be see'ing much of him, but we all know we will, just like with Thrall.
Orgrim will join the Horde after WoD.He sends Garona as diplomat to Varian and she will kill him.
I thought he was doing that during his incarceration?How long before Varian bites the pillow?
You cared enough to post.
I would love to see Anduin to become king and be a badass shadowpriest.
I doubt Anduin will become king of Stormwind. I see him taking up a much larger role to protect Azeroth.
If Varian were to do something stupid and lose the respect of the other Alliance leaders he might have to step down and let another take his place. Anduin would be the obvious choice as he is heir to the throne of Stormwind.
At the end of the day, crazy is still crazy, no matter how you swing it.
I was never a fan of the changes they made to her character even before 5.4, but I had thought maybe it was perhaps because I was playing as Horde and maybe Blizzard had presented her personality changes in an exaggerated fashion to that faction.
I had quit for a few months and so I just recently finished my SoO and watched the Horde cinematic, which doesn't show you any of that. Then I was standing next to Lorewalker Cho's tree in the Vale afterwards and realized you can watch both cinematics so I watched the Alliance one and was pretty surprised. It made me like her even less, and I've been leveling an Alliance character (again) lately...still don't like her, no matter what faction I'm playing.
I'm imagining the sub loss right now. It would be of epic proportions.
Not many Horde were fans of Garrosh when he was made Warchief, and even less after he started turning into what he did. Blizzard putting Jaina in a position like that would be like mirroring something they already did, and not in a good way.
I really can't see any reason for them to kill Varian off any time soon, and especially after changing his character in a good way. You can see he is still swayed by Jaina's words which isn't necessarily a good thing but at least he still listens to his son who seems wise beyond his years already.
He wont kill Varian off as the current king, but if he retires and Anduin takes his place, he might just go on and get sniped by Sylvannas
I think he's already dead. Some brainwashed albino orc was sent back as a sleeper agent from the horde.
or maybe he's still on arcatraz
A poll is due, with causes of death.
