I cant seem to find any info what about what happened with Derek after Baine gave him to the Alliance.
Is he still a sleeper agent or was that idea scrapped?
The idea wasnât scrapped. Derek was in the process of being twisted by Sylvanas when Baine freed him, so the process of brainwashing wasnât carried out successfully. Derek is now trying to adapt to his new undead existence with the help of Calia Menethil.
They way it was set up it seemed to me that all was according to sylvanas plan, how nathanos just showed a blind eye for everything baine did in the releasing processâŚ
What a waste of developing time most of BFAs loreâŚ
That theory was always stupid. There was no indication that he was a sleeper agent, just wishful thinking from you people that think that Sylvanas is really a 5000iq mastermind.

What do you expect? The loyalist chain was made last minute. It is the same reason that nobody gives 2 marbles about the fact that you murdered people in Org and paraded Etrigg through the streets.

I used to think there shouldâve been a similar idea in MoP, where youâd get to side with Garrosh or Volâjin, but give how dissonant being a loyalist is in BfA, maybe forcing the PC into one direction was a better choice after all.

I didnât expect much from the loyalist version and I am still disappointed. I knew the choice wouldnât matter in the end but I thought they would do things which doesnât paint your character as bad as they did.
I do have to admit one part I do like is the ambient dialogue the NPCâs have, that was a really nice touch and I hope they add more.

We probably wonât see much from Derek until Calia is given the spotlight.

so hopefully never.
Sitting down holding hands with Calia saying cringe-inducing dialogue about how much theyâve helped each other and how happy their family is.
Disgosteng.

true it would be much better to simply put the forsaken on a giant bonefire and purge them with fire

The forsaken were humans once, and did not choose their fate, although they did some terrible things en masse, they are individuals and do not all think the same.
They did choose their fate. If they didnât want to willingly support Sylvanasâ regime, they could have gone back to the peace of the grave.
and some did that, some even showed defiance against Sylvanas.
And those who did not willingly supported her authoritarian regime.
Derek literally said it in the In Game CinematicâŚ
Jaina: IS HE THE BOMB THIS TIME?!
Derek: YesâŚthat was the plan.
So, the âplanâ was for Derek to get back, get the trust or at least attention from Jaina and Mum only to kill them. Basically a sleeper. Or just exploed in her faceâŚ
⌠yes, but the â5000 iqâ theory presupposes that the whole scenario is⌠I donât know whatâs the word, very meta? As in Sylvanas made him reveal her true plan to make it seem like he resisted her just to play mind games with Jaina when it was in fact much more straightforward and he just resisted her and her plan basically failed.
The plan was to turn him into a sleeper agent. The plan failed because Baine and the player rescued him in time. So he never became a sleeper agent.
Well, acting like he resistet, get into the family again and then âBOOMâ kill them all. Sounds like a plan our Banshee would like.
Pretty much this was what I expected.
