As we already have the Kul Tirans as an allied “race”, we also do have Turalyon, who is practically a Lightforged human, the only one known in the lore, but I think it could be added as a customization option. Golden eyes for a human pretty much, and silver hair and maybe some of those markings that look like tattoos like the Lightforged Draenei have.
Elves get a lot of customization options, but humans get almost zero. Just some people who’ve been at home when the food’s ready. There’s blood elf, void elf, night elf and whatever that last one was.
Sadly, Humans as a race have a negative stigma attached to them because of the vocal minority that immediately freaks out about some dead meme like “Human Potential” upon seeing even just a small picture of Anduin’s fabulous hair. So I don’t see Blizzard making another Human Allied Race. We’ll probably be getting an allied race that no one will play like Mechagnomes and then be done for this expansion.
Lightforging is such a cool concept, but why waste it on all the races that are already “holy”, like draenei or humans? Give me lightforged nathrezim, or other demons.
To be fair I don’t think Uther was that strong to begin with. Sure, he could overpower Arthas but Arthas was never good fighter. I have always seen Uther’s strength being his faith and spiritual guidance rather than his fighting power.
In my eyes Supreme Commander Turalyon, aka Turalyon after death of Lothar, was always the strongest paladin (closely followed by Tirion).
Though I think the Lightforged could be stronger than Anduin Lothar. They’ve been pretty literally buffed by the Light. (Also I meant Lothar when I said Uther, though Uther wasn’t bad either.)
Again, Uther was always described as a leader, mentor, having unshakable faith and such rather than a warrior. He was a role model that other paladins should aspire to be but that doesn’t mean he was the greatest warrior among them.
I disagree. In Tides of Darkness, he has several distinctly martial moments. In the Arthas novel, he is described as a bear of a man. One can not say whether he is the strongest, but you are definitely downplaying him.
To explain my argument further, he is described as a leader and mentor with great authority simply because he was one. But that does not mean that such bearings came at the expense of other aspects.
To be metaphorical, this is like me deciding that you are a bad painter because you are a good singer.
