Why should I like Tyrande?

[Goldielocks]

Lets see your masterpiece before you feel privileged to trash another persons artistic effort.

Nobody is saying that it's badly drawn, but it's not a Night Elf. I got the same notion. The picture looks a lot more like a Blood Elf would in game than a Night Elf.

Poor could imply improper inspiration.

Back OT: Shes such a badly written character that I honestly wished that she had died in Legion and Ysera had survived.

Not poorly written.

She's been consistently written as impulsive and quick to anger. Thats how she's been written from day 1.

She was pretty consistent from WC3 in legion. She was only poorly written in the one MoP scenario. Just because she isn't a nice waifu all the time like everyone seems to want female characters to be, doesn't mean she is poorly written.

Tyrande was way better in WC3.

Yes, because they look so different.

How was she inconsistent in MoP?

"Charge straight into them" seems pretty standard for Tyrande.

Compare their in game models. This art isn't properly representing them.

I don't really see Tyrande's handling of the Nightborne as a black mark on her record, even if I do disagree with her projections. She saw the Shal'dorei ultimately as untrustworthy allies - they hid under their protective shield during the War of the Ancients while the more outward enclaves of the Kaldorei fought and died against Azshara and her Legion backers. Then, 10,000 years in the future, when push came to shove Elisande and the majority of the Shal'dorei actually *sided* with the Legion and turned against both their own people and the rest of Azeroth in a mad bid to save their own hides. Tyrande, still bearing the psychic scars of the Sundering and the Long Vigil, probably bears a goodly amount of disdain and outrage for the Shal'dorei - and it showed quickly in her interactions with Thalyssra and her opinions of Suramar.

Tyrande's not a perfect person - she has flaws, she's apt to act emotionally and sometimes without thought, traits that seem to be kept in check mainly by Malfurion (who verges so far in the opposite direction that indolence and inaction in the face of threats are his personal foibles).

[Aeula]

Because she's funny.

Charge straight into them was never her tactics in WC3. I don't know why you think that would be standard unless you are just guessing what happened in WC3.

Still not showing any major differences.



In art there are no differences, in game there are minor differences.

I’d say so ya.

I'm talking about Tyrande's model. Since she's the character we're talking about lmao

She looks nothing like Blood Elves or even other Night Elves.

[Lorgar Aurelian]

I have another (my favorite):

She looks like a Protoss night elf in this one nice mix.

[Blamblam41]

You shouldn't. ./thread.

But seriously, she's probably the most incompetent leader out of everyone in this entire gambit. Sits around doing nothing for 10,000 years until the Legion invades 3 times in 10 years and STILL does nothing. Getting schooled by a 45 year old human at basic military tactics, acting like she should be praised for opening a fucking door.

The woman is a walking talking feminist virtue signal with no compassion or capability.

And that doesn't even scratch the surface of "ILLIDAN" "MALFURION". It's probably the most unrealistic story of a love triangle between two brothers and a woman ever written, except for maybe Cain and Abel.

Exactly. I still remember how Night Elves campaign lacked strong melee units at start so player was forced use buildings as canon fodder and mobile wall for archers/dryads. Or how player was often relocating his base because lack of gold mines.

The eyes mouth and nose are all different.

Try posting images made by the same artist, lmao...

This is a good explanation of Tyrande. Most people just like to meme about her and make snap judgement on a character without really thinking or knowing much at all about a character, their motivations and personality.

I meant strong jawline, big but not too big lips and normal (not oversized) eyes.

Also IMHO that how Tyrande armor should really looks. Not some silk dress and root shoes...

No I played WC3 recently, her actions are always shoot first ask later. Which was also the standard for night elf forces in the Orc campaign. The only exception to this was when she was notably outnumbered. She slammed through the Wardens as well. The only reason she consented to an Alliance to beat Archimonde was because she was so incredibly outgunned. She admits this.

Since the player is in control for all of this its hard to tell how she would fight, but, from what we have from other sources (such as the comics where the Sentinels are always berserkers), or from things like her blowing up a bridge as she stood on it, or her treatment of the elemental spirits and the wardens, it does not paint a thoughtful picture.
