You see, in my opinion the problem is not evil Forsaken or evil Sylvanas, the problem is that people, and i'm mainly refering to Blizzard writers and CD, trying to push for some kind of resolution for them. What is the problem with evil characters in game? It adds complexity, it's creative potential.
And what kind of resolution can you bring here? Being "like scourge but playable" is core of forsaken, the razor's edge they were walking cince inception.
Make them good? That going to suck. Kill them all? Well, gg, that going to suck too.
But it just seems creatives don't have idea how to move forsaken story forward(or most likely just don't care anymore), like they try to RP IRL and fuck up stuff in the process.
"If there is evil, it must be brought to justice!" - And then what? All world of lawful good vs. chaotic evil, without any kind of complex relationships is the most boring one. Screw forsaken fans who want to pay militaristic autoritarian state that's not unlike scourge, screw Sylvanas, screw uneasy alliances and cool stories. We are bringing ANOTHER EVILDOER TO JUSTICE while at the same time trying to dabble in complex stories of internal conflict with finesse of an elephant in fine china shop. The result is on display.
Cool, i guess, but now a whole playable faction is gutted and no way to recover. Well, nice going Afrasiabi.
And this aproach is across the whole story, pushing for ALL conflicts to be resolved once and for all, and then you run out of conflict and have to resurect Kelthuzad or Kaelthas or do some other nonsense just to keep it going.
This is one of the great problems with current lore
Bro, WTF? lol
That's what i was saying that people RP in lore section too much
