What game first sparked your interest in gaming? Was it World of Warcraft?

Something neat from the "Jaina's Nightmare" cinematic, in case you missed it:
(spoiler if you haven't seen it yet)

... or might've been obvious, I dunno.

Noticed that too, thinking: "Well there's a sign that that place is filled with darkness."

I think it’s obvious when you look at the dungeon. But also it’s a nice pick up. I didn’t notice it myself and it definitely foreshadows what to expect here. I think it’s a major piece moving forward that little piece of land.
Nice work

On top of that, it's ink.
Azshara is basically a squid.
Squids and their ink-squirting come together.

That cinematic would be flagged +18 for the wording in the title alone. Originally Posted by Kwento

When it showed Jaina in the ship cabin with the pen it made me think of Varian in the Legion cinematic writing to Anduin and then when it showed young Jaina that made me think of young Anduin.
Dunno if it was intentional or not.

Foreshadowing! Makes sense considering a certain something's prison is located right between Kul Tiras and Zandalar.
Oh man, when "Arthas, My Son" started playing... Right in the nostalgia and feels. Also, I like that they made his armor and hammer look more like they did in Warcraft 3 - like the right shoulder pad isn't wrapped in cloth like his model in the Culling of Stratholme instance. That always rubbed me the wrong way. Originally Posted by Enrif

The jump-scare in that cutscene actually got me - for some reason I just wasn't expecting it (despite the pretty standard set-up). Nice foreshadowing on the spilled ink as well.

Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see." ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

nice to see her mother isn't an absolute bitch, not that she doesn't have reason to be angry.

I recognize in this cutscene, Rhonin, Varian, Daelin, and Arthas; who is the one behind Jaina that's obscured by her?

The Gnome? That's Kinndy Sparkshine, who was Jaina's apprentice before she was killed by the mana bomb on Theramore. Originally Posted by Stormdash

The moment I stood in the Tidespeaker place when you kick off the Stormsong questline and looked around at the decoration I knew I was gonna be sharpening my sword for heresy.
