“Nothing lasts… tomorrow I shall have another hobby, little lion…” - Sylvanas after falling off of her bike and subsequently blowing up a highway in a hissy fit

Cutscene/cinematic prediction:
Sylvanas farts away with a smirk. Something, something, it was all according to the Jailer’s plans. Our characters/whatever NPC is with us just stands and watch.
Us defeating the Jailer is gonna end up being Sylvanas plan anyways.
Everything is going as she predicted!

I think it’s either that or something similar to the end of Tomb of Sargeras with regretful Kil’Jaeden. It just depends on how willing Steve is to part with his waifu.

It’s going to take us to the end of the expansion to know what she was even planning going into it

Implying Blizzard would have even planned the story out for then, by their own admissions… they won’t have.

The Sylvanas book will also include a completely separate motivation and plan that has a 75% chance of contradicting the one in game.

I wonder how much flak is Golden going to get for writing the Sylvanas book.
Imagine having to write a book on Sylvanas when Danuser’s writing her all over the place. An impossible task, really. Can’t wait it to fail.

It’s always tough to say how much story direction is decided from “on high” and how much the novelists can put in there of their own. Like, when Sylvanas was internal monologuing that she didn’t want to be Warchief, was that Golden or Danuser? You’d presume the former, but then shouldn’t an editor have caught it so they could make sure it was aligned with their future plot points that they definitely had in mind at that point and aren’t just pulling stuff from their bum?

I wonder if the editors even know what the story is, I assumed most editors are just looking for grammar errors etcetera.
But the answer is no - as seen in all previous novels and the subsequent retcons and whatnot.
that would limit the creativity and tie the hands of the writers, though…

We know (thanks to the Genn-Tail situation) that at least one editing pass gets done on lore stuff, and you’d hope that multibillion corpo blizz could spring to have one dude spend a day or two running over a manuscript for such issues.
no no no, don’t be silly - that’d be a useless wage that could be spent on CEO bonuses instead!
the genn tail situation was simply caught because of a machine reading through the text after hearing a lot about tails from previous discussions
I can’t wait for more inner monologue that is a lie, because apparently she can lie in her own thoughts incase people outside the universe reads it.
I wonder if Lizzard is going to fix my Kyrian ability today…
Should have went with the Chadlords, thanks game
After everything is said and done, that we stopped Sylvannas, jailed the Jailer (heh), freed whatever First Ones that were speculated, met and greeted/faced Elune, and have risen to near God-like beings; I would never, ever do I want a quest “Hero, go kill X amounts of rats in our basement.”, “Here, Hero. Use this shovel and scoop all the poop.” or any other trivial things that just are unfun and trivial.
Meanwhile I just want to go to Tel’Abim and see where those damn bananas come from that have haunted me since Vanilla…

Imagine if we got an expansion centered around the islands around azeroth. We could go on expeditions to various islands or something. That’d be crazy.

It is revealed Tel’Abim is actually an ancient Broker vault and the Jailer requires the Mysterious Golden Banana to get to the Thing that he needs to take over the Shadowlands or something.
The bananas were in on the Jailer’s plan all along, of course.
