Ah yes, how could I forget him! When 12-year old me saw Stitches for the first time, I will admit, I was quite scared like “Woah, that thing is coming for us!”
So I’ve noticed that it’s possible to leave out class in TRP, effectively just listing a character’s race… and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do that. That’s my pet peeve of the weekend.
Went out to pick up some things I forgot on Thursday and there was a Tuxedo kitty and they had the most magnificent mustache I have ever seen on a cat.
The expansion could have been about doing nothing… Literally nothing of substance and you’d still end up with a better result than this. Shadowlands is the “Hold my beer” to WoD and BfA’s mediocrity.
I don’t support this in any manner. I mean damn, Denathrius getting away and ‘surviving’ was also a last minute decision if I am to believe their interviews about how they didn’t expect players to like him so much. It’s just the JJ effect at play here… Because these guys have been infiltrators all this time for the Legion, they just changed their true Master on a whim. Mystery boxes that ultimately, will be dissapointing or better, empty.
I think it only becomes disappointing if you put a lot of stock into their origin per se - but there are plenty of interesting stories to tell if you flip the script slightly. Have the Dreadlords be demons who mastered death magic as their own way of foiling the Void, knowing they can’t match the Eredar in arcane or raw fel power, or the Mo’arg in physical prowess.
They raid the Shadowlands to exploit the idea of life beyond death and harvest the power of anima (because if you forcibly stop the cycle of life and death then Sargeras’s victory is basically a foregone conclusion), stealing Frostmourne and the Armour of Domination and infiltrating Revandreth until the Naaru catch wind and raze their stronghold while they’re cut off from the rest of the Legion. You can even have their raid be the inciting event that allows Zovaal to break free and start doing whatever.
It’s all in the telling of the story, and the trouble that often comes with mystery-box storytelling is that nothing is told, just things are shown.
Started playing the Blue Lions route in Three Hopes
didn’t take long for me to get extremely irritated by Dimitri’s lib attitude, but him idly speculating on how much better Miklan’s life would have been if he had a Crest while standing right next to Sylvain is true hilarity. Absolute clownshoes.
Done all the SB Alliance raids/Ivalice raids and I can safely say it has been the worst story and content unlock for me personally out of all the alliance raids.
