Just watched the end-cinematic of the War campaign and the follow-up video’s for the Saurfang- and Sylvana-loyalists. I noticed that there were no Forsaken at the memorial speech of Saurfang. What does this mean for the Forsaken? Will they be outcasts within the Horde? Having no home city, where will they go?
For me, I’ve been a Forsaken since day one. And if this means that I cannot follow the Dark Lady, who has been my true inspiration since the beginning, I do not know if I will return from Classic back to retail.
But hé, that’s just me. What do you guys think? What will happen to the Forsaken? Can we follow our queen on her path? Or will Forsaken lose everything worth fighting for?
The Forsaken seem to be willing to let go of the past to embrace the future, or some touchy-feely crap like that, which is entirely out of character for them.
Turns out that the loyalists are the ones getting put in chains and paraded around Orgrimmar, whatever race they may be. Some are even pretending to have abandoned Sylvanas, just pretending.
As for the actual future of the Forsaken, hell knows. The Forsaken have been represented 100% by Sylvanas, so it’s not that easy to tell what they want. Where we go from here only the talented and wonderful Blizz writing team know.
Wow…Blizzard is really going for an overkill if they truly want to start shaming the Horde playerbase that went for either side.
I mean, they are villain batting the ‘leader’ of the loyalist side AND shaming those that followed her?
Good to not break immersion and creates a good ambience with a plausible set of reactions.
But kinda rough on players that had no say in how would this story end.
EDIT:
Not a fan of these sort of Blizzard jokes that show they know the issue:
Zazo: Saurfang… Vol’jin… Cairne… how many times must I watch the Horde’s heroes die?
Goma: Heroism’s a deadly business. That’s what makes them heroes.
I love that stuff. I genuinely think that they should go full-steam on parody. The story can’t be taken seriously anymore? Then don’t. Let’s just have fun making fun of it.
It would be interesting to know how many forsaken really believed in Sylvanas and how many just played along out of fear, or because they knew noone else would accept them. Especially since she started creating forsaken on her own it wouldn’t be a suprise when the number of true loyalists in comparsion to the total number of forsaken has decreased over time.
But I honestly can’t see who would fit as new forsaken leader and let them keep their identity.
Interesting… Let’s be honest, with how much villain-batting there’s going on I don’t know if there’s even one forsaken that supported Sylvanas, with all of them secretly longing to befriend the Alliance for some reason.
And by this point, I don’t think they give a crap about forsaken identity that has slowly developed since the game was launched, but rather reinvent it to accommodate some messed up notion of peace which makes zero sense from both the Alliance and Horde perspective.
this would’ve been great. i’m hoping they do this now, tyrande and sylvanas leading the “OUTCAST” faction anyone can join, and it flags you so you can go into SW or org and kill all the roleplayers
