I'm pretty okay with Baine now. Sure, he could have been written better. He could have been written a lot better. But I suppose I'm a Warcraft 3 player. I remember Jaina's sacrifice for the Horde, and I remember Tirion's story. If I ever admired or respected them at all, it'd be hypocritical for me to fault Baine for his current treason. If treason was the right option then, it's the right option now.
I might hate this story, I might hate how Baine has been written as a pansy, but I feel pretty fucking good today. And since I'm not a miserable piece of shit for this day, even if it's this day alone, I have to say I rather like the calf. Even stupid idealism is a relief from unnecessary stupid edge.
This Horde was built on the backs of noble traitors. What higher honor is there than to be yet another of them? If people will support Sylvanas out of spite, I'll support Baine because I'm pretty fine with what Blizzard wants him to be.
