The intellect stealer is a very weak creature, able to be 1 shot by many high level players.
however leave it alone with a barbarian or fighter, someone with very low intellect, and that play will have their brain replaced with an intellect stealer, instantly killing them. this intellect stealer is now suddenly a 20th level barbarian.
Deathwing, neltharion is SUPER strong, but he was weak to corruption because of his connection to the planet.
Nzoth did not "overpower" neltharion, he took advantage of his weaknesses, and used that to gain a unit far more powerful then himself.
At this time, yes, because we was imprisoned.
No when he was released.
Isnt that the whole point of manipulations and corruption? To exploit weakness and crack the shell so to speak?
And he was not weak to corruption but was most exposed to that corruption because of the connection with the earth.
1. Yes, not imprisoned he is stronger. why we had to use a thing made to kill all life on azeroth to kill him, instead of a thing that could barely kill deathwing.
2. we have become much stronger since deathwing
3. so yes, he was weak to the corruption, because of his connection to the planet.
I think they're using wanting to give the player character an epic moment as an excuse for being lazy and writing a terrible ending to this story. Not even an original idea for an ending when you literally give it a LOTR vibe mixed with an ending straight out of green jesus' moment in Dragon Soul.
*Insert every single ridiculous PC parts detail here that no one cares about*
Yeah, and both times i've argued with him i got an infraction for "trolling" despite the 3-4 paras of context i provide in the same post. That's some great moderation right there, heavy bias. Then again, can't expect more from this cesspool of a "fansite".
^ This is sarcasm with a hint of trolling, as is actually worthy of an infraction. Go ahead, have a blast mods. Couldn't care less if I'm banned either, gives me a reason to never have to respond ever again.
The main problem is the final cinematic is 1) a beam of light is the exact same way we defeated Deathwing and 2) the aftermath is just a straight rip off of Lord of the Rings.
These lore gods better tell us more about that huge Sargeras sword in silithus - so whatever they want to sell us a shallow story about N'zoth in a single underdeveloped patch, or let the true old gods nature remain a mystery(remember death and life is not meaning much for them) is their cup of tea, but that quite massive story plot hole with the sword is unacceptable at this point.

Then you never paid attention to detail, the other cinematics, notably of azshara and the war campaing with sylvanas and saurfang were of high quality and quite longer.
Not that i agree witht he direction of the story in those cinematics, but from an pure artist pov, they are of much higher quality.
N'zoths deserves better and he is the endboss of this expansion, he deserves more than a short hommage at Lotr done in few seconds.
That cinematics are not important to gameplay and the quality of a game at all is another matter.
