Well, how about you?
Was there any downfall from Arthas? If so, at what point? Think it was on dwarf stuff.
Women love to say no to an idea and then propose zero alternatives, just say “well I don’t know an alternative but i know it can’t be this!”
That alone makes this plot line pretty realistic
You've never talked to a woman.
>the plague kills people and turns them into undead
>"ok lets kill them first so... they turn into undead"
wow good job arthas
Just kill them twice, god damn.
They should’ve taken Uther’s vaccine. Then they would’ve protected themselves and others from the plague, right?
well it prevents the pain of being infected while alive. why didn't he just cremate them though?
yea the writing was a bit of a clusterfrick
It wasn't as bad as Starcraft, at least.
>I'm going to abandon my best agent Kerrigan to the Zerg because frick you, you sort of talked back or something, but we'll also make up some bullshit story about her killing my father in some later book to justify this critical point in the story
The Culling thing was at least kind of believable as a horrible decision brought about from an impulsive stupid argument where nobody is willing to compromise, these sorts of things happen
If you have a pure heart then you're immune to the plague. Mograine died and was reanimated with a spell to become one of the horsemen.
made for BAC
They could have saved the few who weren't cursed. In Aliens Ripley always made an effort to rescue marines and civilians.
/tv/
Why didn't that chud Arthas just take the vaccine?
Shitty writing is the norm for video games
wasn't uther was the one opposing the purge, her disagreement was about arthas suspending all paladins form service and she left because she did not wanted arthas watch killing them?
Reminder that the mages of Dalaran were the ones at the start, literally the human campaign's intro, who proposed quarantine on the infected people of Lordaeron until they were sure what they were dealing with, and it was Arthas's dad the king that said
>I will not institute quarantine without proof of your claims, Ambassador. The people of Lordaeron have suffered enough without becoming prisoners in their own lands.
If they just listened to the mages, they could have at the very least greatly mitigated the damage the Scourge did.
yes
>If they just listened to the mages, they could have at the very least greatly mitigated the damage
infection was transmitted via tampered grain, quarantine would've done nothing since quarantined people still need to eat
it was a failure on the part of the mages for not identifying a vector as obvious as the food, you would've literally been able to see it just by plotting a map of spread of the infection
If the quarantine was instituted and it still spread they could have come to that conclusion sooner. Quarantine makes sense until you know what you're dealing with.
Anyone else think the first cracks in Blizzard were with Frozen Throne?
>Felt rushed
>New units underwhelming, not very useful, and stick out
>Undead campaign sticks you with b***h desperate Arthas instead of conquering the world as glorious Undead. Rest of the campaign is shitty new mary sue girlboss and her uninteresting storyline because they ran out of ideas of missions
>Human/Alliance campaign just introduces a new faction and opens more plot threads that will never get resolved, isn't really Humans at all
>No Orc campaign at all
>Naga are half-assed
>The whole Illidan-fleeing-to-Outland plot was stupid and just introduced more plot threads
>Final Arthas vs. Illidan cutscene is bad in-game graphics instead of a proper cinematic
Maybe because I never had any interest in WoW and always wanted a WC4, but even at the time in 2004 Frozen Throne left a bad taste in my mouth even though I didn't hate it.
Sure, TFT was basically jsut a setup for WoW, but at the same time i didn't care because it did so much for the custom game scene.
I also prefer ROC but tft new units were good. Bat riders and gargoyles were super useful.
>Final Arthas vs. Illidan cutscene is bad in-game graphics instead of a proper cinematic
Yet it's better than the Reforged version
>humans are... le racist!
>muh queendom shall be called... le forsaken!
>illidan's forces are... le persecuted minorities!
>A better idea?
Let them die a horrific painful death to the plague and rise as undead, forever damning their souls to hell in the process. Then sacrifice thousands of soldiers in an attempt to purge the city of said undead which might not even succeed.
There definitely would be a better idea but there wasn't time to come up with one and it's better than letting Mal'Ganis do his thing
The latter half of the human campaign is really disappointing story-wise, but fun to play.
I like the timed mission where you're supposed to defend, because taking out the enemy bases instead is a fun little challenge especially on hard mode.
