This is also currently in a bit of a grey area thanks to the last Shadowlands book.
During the battle of Darkshore, in-game did as we all know lean towards that only those who willingly joined the forsaken got resurrected and the devs/story people did say in interviews that no one was resurrected without consent.
The last Shadowland book said otherwise though, instead alluding to that most elves were controlled, and Sira outright says that she would never choose to return but was forcibly resurrected despite actively fighting it and while not directly mind-controlled, warped and changed to the point that she knew she was fighting against her own will atleast a bit.
Nah. I just got too much spare time and Iâm lonely so I drone on the forums for a sense of community while at work. You just happen to have absolute dog water takes in this thread.
Basic sense will usually help with this. Or lore digging.
Like, gameplay a warlock can call down an infernal immediately, but in lore even a dreadsteed is meant to be incredibly difficult to summon(One of the hardest). And the bigger demons usually require multiple warlocks to even summon, let alone control.
Fair enough, Darkfallen Kaldorei lore is super messy and I hope Sira and Delaryn get some focus sometime to iron that out.
Still, regardless of itâs just pure spite or because of Maw-related mind warping, thereâs more reason than not for them to avoid the Alliance rather than affiliate, which is probably why the only Nelf Dark Ranger NPCs weâve seen since Shadowlands ended are Forsaken.
Even if it was Maw-domination or something, âI was mind-controlled.â will usually still make people weary of you after youâve done alot of bad.
Especially since even if that was the case, the former is still fully canon that Undeath does increase negative emotions by just sheer existence. Even the nicest of undeads will battle with this for as long as they continue to exist.
Oh, so you donât like it when people randomly assume things about you and bully you for that?
I got it from the same place as you when you read that I claim to be a lore expert when for the past few days Iâve been saying that itâs very hard to call oneself a true lore master with the story constantly being altered and butchered by the new writers.
Also, âmany players love Sylvanas = lore expertâ. Gotcha.
