And I don't mean that in a good way.
The only specks of dirt on the progression of Legion's story to date has been the initial Broken Shore fiasco and what happened to Ysera. Even the muddy footprints Illidan left when he opened a portal to Argus is getting washed away in 7.3.
Everything else is too good. It works out too well. There's no upsets to the calculations of our heroes or those we answer to. Everything just *works*.
And it's getting a little old.
WoD opened with a grating error on everyone's part: we let Gul'dan go because at the time we had no other option. Khadgar knew it would come to bite us in the ass and it did in a major way.
Cata and MoP were wrought with errors that shaped the story of Azeroth, culminating in Garrosh's tyranny.
Even WotLK had the Wrathgate (which is similar enough to the Broken Shore, but it's a very dated expansion and Blizzard has picked up their storytelling game since).
Legion is highly ambitious in regards to generating story and plot and lore and everything people have been asking for for so long, but it's too clean. This is supposed to be the biggest Legion invasion of all time and it's not living up to its name.
Why aren't the villains winning?
Why aren't we making mistakes when we're grappling with forces we hardly understand?
Yes, I'm aware of key things like Odyn and the Old Gods hanging on the periphery, but they're not in the spotlight and all we have are rumours and forecasts.
Things like Sylvanas making an unknown deal with Helya resulted in a big fat nothing because we killed the old hag before something could come of it.
And what of her shooting Greymane with an arrow that was riddled with something foul? Oh, he was sick in bed for a little while but after a few days rest he's up and at it again no biggie.
The story of Suramar had a few major hurdles and I really liked how it played out, but in an expansion with everything so positively geared it feels like its diminished in its hopefulness.
When we walk away from Legion, will there even be any dust left to settle? Any cleaning? Anything because of errors we've made?
What of the scars our foes have left us with?
Or is it going to be like signs are pointing to in 7.3, something with a capital A sneaks in out of left field opens the door for the next big bad?
