No matter what Blizzard does with her and her story, I will personally never like her character only because she is obviously forced ‘‘strong’’ female character.
King Rastakhan had so much potential, he was supposed to be ancient, wise and powerful ruler. Instead they made him naive and plain dumb character that got manipulated like a child by Zul, and ofcourse his daughter had to fix everything.
The only reason why Blizzard would do that to Rastakhan is that so his daugher can be shown as hero and rightful ruler. I wonder why they did that? Maybe because he could have been strong male leader, and you can’t have that nowdays…
I can talk about all the allied races having female leaders and Vol’jin being murdered by random demon for the sake of powerful female warchief, but there is really no need as you get the point.
All in all I am very sad that Blizzard is forcing politics into their game instead of focusing on actually making interesting and fun lore.
That needs your help to get something done… and is mostly moping about.
A remnant and recognizable character from Warcraft III… that is only busy with her own agenda that sits there because they didn’t bring in a good character lately.
Or was ment to be poled into the horde by rok’han which actually fits in with historical political games…
Dont really care about some sjw nonsense, but seriously in those 5 dialogues you had with him while doing quests in zuldazar are billion times better than anything that came from horde in last several expansions …
Tyrande, to be fair, has had more low points as of recent as opposed to high points. Only high is recently, where she decides to get her hair done, swap her bow for a glaive, and darken her eyes a bit.
It certainly feels like they decided to scrap him and just make him a Hearthstone character. Not like they could do the character justice in both WoW and Hearthstone, like they did with Medivh and his funky disco party, opposed to his spectral presence in Karazhan.
Oh yes, cover up the implied social politics, for they have no place to be discussed on the forums… Then they probably shouldn’t be implied in the game in the first place.
As long as games try to put these social politics in the game, or at least imply them in a non-subtle way, then there are bound to be people bringing it up.
Don’t think anyone’s complaining about Sylvanas being Warchief (Only complaint is that her story thus far has been pretty poor), nor did anyone complain about how the Nightborne had female leaders on both ends (Because they were pretty good characters).
What people are going to raise their eyebrows at, is when they see only female leader characters present on all ends, and the only male character being sacrificed under the altar of “Storytelling”, if you can call it that.
It’d be silly if there were only male characters in charge, and it’d be silly there were only female characters in charge. What’s so bad about a balance between the two?
Ah, I see. I guess I did indirectly agree with you since she had more low points. But yeah, you’re right, she isn’t exactly a very inspiring leader
I wouldn’t say that. The Hearthstone team just does its own thing and runs with it. And this time it just happens to be something that parallels the current WoW expansion, which is cool.
As far as WoW goes, then I’d say Rastakhan has been an awesome character. I haven’t dived too deep into the Battle of Dazar’alor spoiler, but I sort of know what’s going to happen with Rastakhan – and it seems fine!
I mean, his character development is entirely in line with his story theme. To me he is Blizzard’s take on telling the story of Faust. You know, the faustian bargain, because Faust made a deal with the devil, exchanging his soul for knowledge and power in life.
Rastakhan is Faust. He makes a deal with Bwonsamdi, offering his soul in exchange for immediate power to save his kingdom.
And the moral of the story, like with Faust, is that such deals have consequences. So the outcome is as it should be, in terms of the story that’s being told.
It’s a great little storyline, props to Blizzard for telling it well.
I think we’re talking about who is present in BfA, and most of the leaders you counted had their spotlight in other expansions.
I can’t say much on this since I haven’t touched the Alliance so I can’t say much about them, but I can only say that Gallywix is the only character I can agree makes a presence as a STRONG male leader. Baine isn’t much of a strong leader, seems to complain more as opposed to trying to do any action in contrary to Sylvanas’ actions.
Lor’themar hasn’t really been doing anything for BfA thus far, only in 8.1 he does some history walking with our Elf characters, so that’s something.
Muradin seems to be a Warfront Commander, and a pretty fun one as well.
“If you don’t like how the representation is divided, then you are sexist!” is what you want to say?
What would you say if there were mostly male characters representing BfA’s leadership, instead of female? Would you call that a sexist divide of leadership?
Yes. I would. But no one here complained that Classic, TBC, WotLK, Cata, Pandaria etc. had predominantly male leaders, so to complain about BFA having a lot female ones is the literal definition of sexism. That’s just how it works.
On another note, I’ve enjoyed Talanji and I think there’s great stuff to come.
I love how hyper critical people get when it’s about a female character. analyzing every single thing about the character and her relationships with other characters (especially male characters) through a neurotic “sjw’s are ruining everything” lense. Coming to the conclusion that blizzard is politicizing the game, while they are the ones doing the politicizing themselves.
