Lol. FOR THE HORDE AMIRITE?
the guy that sooo many people were saying is the rightful warchief is literally an Alliance spy, Sylvanas better stay warchief forever lmao. Oh wait, she already is.
change can't wait.
Lmao. Saurfang is an Alliance puppet?
What about the Horde being a puppet so Sylvanas can save herself from going to hell, up to and including bombarding her own soldiers and raising them as undead to save her hide?
How does an undead PC fit in all this?
Where are all the Sylvanas fanboys defending pragmatism now? Saurfang working with Anduin to escape so he can take out Sylvanas is more pragmatic than licking her boot heels because 'muh loyalty'.
You lot were the same ones going HURR DER IS NO MORALITY IN WAR, ONLY RESULTS. Now you're the ones shrieking how OMG SAURFANG IS THE WORST EVER for being pragmatic by 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend'.
Sorry boys, your waifu is going down.
I really wish they'd grant to player a choice in the end, when all is said and done and all plots are revealed, the player gets to choose whether to stick with Sylvanas or stick with Saurfang.
Have an actual 'evil' faction in the World of Warcraft for the player to join.
Sylvanas didn't have a problem allying herself with the Legion (Azeroth's greatest and most ancient enemy) to further her own agenda against Arthas, so how is Saurfang now a dishonorable coward and a traitor for allying himself with the Alliance (the Horde's enemy) to further his own agenda? Is such a pragmatic strategy fine only when Sylvanas does it?
The Void. A force of infinite hunger. Its whispers have broken the will of dragons... and lured even the titans' own children into madness. Sages and scholars fear the Void. But we understand a truth they do not. That the Void is a power to be harnessed... to be bent by a will strong enough to command it. The Void has shaped us... changed us. But you will become its master. Wield the shadows as a weapon to save our world... and defend the Alliance!
About as well as a Tauren PC fit in the War of the Thorns and battle for Undercity. Oh, the joys of making a writer's task easy by violently railroading the player character.
As for Saurfang, that his escape was aided by the Alliance does not make him an Alliance asset or spy at all, not by its lonesome. We have to realize the factions aren't as hermetic in the game as they are in the forums, and Saurfang is perfectly able to let himself be used if it serves his goal of dethroning Sylvanas. Doing that, if he succeeds, also doesn't guarantee he will stop the war with the Alliance, as Anduin no doubt wishes he will. Or what, are we supposed to only accept pragmatism when the Warchief is dousing her own troops in blight and raising their corpses?
This doesn't come across as a surprise to me. Obviously Saurfang wasn't suddenly going to go ORC SMASH, batter down the door to his cell with his big green cock, slaughter a hundred guards with his bare hands and escape while holding a pike with Shaw's head on it. Something was going to help him, and it sure as hell wouldn't have been good old Sylvanas.
He's not a puppet. He's always wanted to get rid of Sylvanas and if he needs Anduin's help to make that job easier? Sure, why not.
Also, Genn's clearly not Anduin's puppet going by 8.1
The Horde's only fighting and losing that war with the Alliance because of Sylvanas.
