Ner’zhul and Scourge have no idea that Illidan is behind the spell. No one does except for Malfurion. And the only reason for that is he communes with nature in Lordaeron and it shows Malfurion a vision of what Illidan is doing. Arthas is busy trying to make a new Scourge kingdom. He only gets recalled when the Illidari invade Northrend. Even then the Legion tries to help Illidan and uses the Nathrezim to try and kill Arthas
Oh, with that I fully agree with you, both Ner'zhul and Arthas were a powerful and terrible duo
The Nathrezim were only getting rid of Arthas and probably figure out what to do later. Still I wonder how Ner'zhul didn't sense the massive earthquake that were happening since Illidan started to cast the spell
I actually think what they did with KJ has been one of blizzard's better writing moves
Legion KJ.....simply didn't care who won. I don't even think in the end he was afraid of Sargaras. He sounded tired, knew he'd made the wrong choices but just wanted to see it through to the end.
What portrayal? Kil'Jaeden was entirely absent until we reached Avatar of Sargeras. That would have been fine if it were revealed that he'd been playing us all along somehow. Like have the Pillars of Creation be what frees the Avatar rather than just Kil'Jaeden. Maiden could have been attacking us not because she was malfunctioning, but rather because we just woke the Avatar seriously what the hell.
I actually like the idea that he was planning this all along, one of the characters that we play alongside could have been Kil'Jaeden. Khadgar, maybe? He appeared pretty much out of nowhere, looked different, told us to let Gul'dan go, and was commanding us, the alleged commander, for most of the time in between. Then we do the broken shore 2, but unlike live, we use the pillars here. A burst of green fire emerges from the Tomb, knocking Dalaran out of the sky and crashing into Suramar. Kil'Jaeden's deception is revealed, and we care about him for reasons other than his name.
tl;dr more deception from the deceiver plz.
I still think it was epic. They used his link to Velen to really make the long conflict between the draenei and the legion personal to the players, then showed him questioning Sargeras in the release cinematic, then an awesome boss fight, that touching moment between the two of them, and finally leading to the extreme consequence of the portal opening.
The whole thing with the Legion is they need someone on the other side to open the portal to bring them in, so of course they needed AU Gul'dan. He was the best character to come out of WOD.
I mean they could have focused on Kil'jaeden's relationship to Illidan more for example, but every narrative can only contain so many characters at once, and we still got traces of that with the DH campaign.
I really just disagree with you on everything. "Legion could have been more epic" when the ending cinematic was friggin' this:
And what exactly is "epic" about this ending? its just plain stupid. him ramming that sword in there should cause destruction that would make cata look like a little earthquake. what we get is one roasted zone. also the sword seemingly decreases in size right after the cinematic lmao, because you can clearly see its hilt is in fucking outer space, yet when we cleanse the swords corruption, its suddenly not even half the size anymore. its the most obvious "fuck any logic we have left, just make it look COOL" thing blizz has done so far, and thats saying a lot.
If I was writing it, Guldan shows up in Nighthold but escapes one last time. In Tomb Guldan is the last boss and opens a portal to Argus. Kiljaeden is the final boss of Legion.
Yeah probably he is done for but then again Blizzard always pull crap like that, I mean the freaking Derek some low level human that wasn't even mentioned until this expansion was resurrected to give more spotlight to humans, Archimonde could still open some arcs for the goat men and women which aren't much after defeating the Legion
In my mind, Alt!Gul'dan was never a character. Kil'jaeden was the one who killed Varian, and Elisande was the final boss in the Nighthold.
They're (short for They are) describes a group of people. "They're/They are a nice bunch of guys." Their indicates that something belongs/is related to a group of people. "Their car was all out of fuel." There refers to a location. "Let's set up camp over there." There is also no such thing as "could/should OF". The correct way is: Could/should'VE, or could/should HAVE.
Holyfury armory
Yeah well after what, a gazillion years worth of failures I didn't expect him to greet the next attempt with the same moustache twirling enthusiasm as year 1.
Gone to shit? Where have you been? The story has always been juvenile nonsense, at least with this they changed it up a bit unintentionally or not.
