Battle for Azeroth: The Ultimate Story Review

As the dust settled - and I haven't been playing the BfA content for a couple of months - it is time to properly look back at the past expansion and review what was good and what was not. As always, it's a personal blog, and it provides only my personal opinion. I've discussed the …

Visions of N’Zoth Hidden Cinematics Speculation

*spoiler alert: the speculaton is based on the revealed cutscenes from Visions of N'Zoth, so beware before proceeding!   As we know, a couple of hidden cinematics were datamined last year for Visions of N'Zoth.

Battle for Azeroth: Two Lore Expansions at the Price of One?

All the current expansion events eventually led me to understanding: Battle for Azeroth offered us two expansions in its lore course, whether us and Blizzard liked it or not. Expansion Villains and Our Final Goal Vanilla did not offer any final goal. It was a number of stories and no-name characters without any decent links …

Battle for Azeroth Expansion Lore Review: Where Blizzard Failed

Now that we know the outcome of the whole expansion (kinda), it's time to review the whole story of Battle for Azeroth.

WoW Shadowlands: Let’s Go to Hell!

So, as the Blizzcon dust settles, it's time to take a good look at the expansion features and lore. Starting with lore of course :) LORE My major concern and hostility towards the new expansion is of course the cinematic. My major "no" is villain introduction. It required an extra machinima to show him, and …

Battle for Azeroth: Story Development and Next Expansion

I've commented about this in several blogs already, and I think my speculation deserves a special post. Remember how Genn said to Anduin in the latest Saurfang cinematic that these were the last troops? They would be recruiting farmers - farmers, and the war has barely started. They would waste their fleets - and even …

Roleplay: Older Content Lore and Leveling Your Character

I hope you're ready to have your mind blown, cause it's the craziest idea I've had recently, and it explains everything. While leveling my new toons, I can't help but asking myself: how does it really work with the lore? See for yourself: for example, a Nightborne character could have entered Azeroth only after Elisande's …

Antorus & Legion Ending Cinematic: Opinion

Spoiler Alert! Alright, if you've seen the final expansion cinematic like I did yesterday, you may read on. If you plan to do it later - you've been spoiler warned. So, the Pantheon reborn (or their spirits) trap Sargeras and infuse Illidan with their power for him to be his Warden. The decision is not …

Remember Theramore

Theramore, a city-state in Eastern Kalimdor, was founded after the Third War when humans, dwarfs, orcs, trolls, tauren and night elves defeated Archimonde at Mount Hyjal. The races then scattered across the continent, trying to set a peaceful life. Orcs founded Orgrimmar, trolls inhabited the isles to the south. Tauren established their magnificent mesa capital …
