the most hated character in wow has gone missing after getting his throat slice by tyrande.
his attitude was perfectly made to exist in revendreth, i mean… have you seen the similarity between revendreath wearing, player leather wear and nathanos?
we don’t even know if sylvanas has restored him 0_o.
or could it be a world boss in the future…
On his “stay a while and listen” choice he talks about the alliance and he explains why he hate them. Because they where attacking the blood elves when their shiny prince arthas was doing his job while horde was clearing up their mess.
Now look at them?
They cry in the forums for “genocide” forgetting all their own.
I really liked Nathanos, he was the only character that didn’t rub your ego for being the grand champion of the horde that saved azeroth by killing a bird or something during BFA
I guess between him allegedly being a self insert (I didn’t read the books) and his seemingly one sided affection for Sylvanas, it doesn’t make him that popular.
For me I just don’t like anything that is loyal to Sylvanas (especially with past writing hinting that she was doing stuff to get immortality, not caring who she hurts in the process). For me killing him was the highlight of the pre-patch and even if he eventually gets redeemed with Sylvanas or something like that hopefully he can still be a boss fight somewhere this expansion.
I liked him at first, but as we moved through BFA he seemed to drift from “amusingly sarcastic” to “annoyingly superior” with a side order of “teachers pet”
Particularly given that he was rarely actually seen doing anything to justify that superior attitude other than being Sylvanas lapdog, it started to grate. Alright at the end of the X-Pac he held off a raid of players on his own, but for most of the expansion he just got us to do all the actual work while droning on about how superior he was.
Even my forsaken loyalist characters got fed up of him. Sylvanas was a legend and warchief, so that sort of attitude from her would be expected. Nathanos just started to feel like he was leaching off her authority because he was her favourite.
That was his major failing to my mind. Not that he was Sassy, but that he was just bad at it.
The writing was…eww…
“So, …Champion…”
“just let us get this clear Nathanos, I’ve been fighting the horrors of this world for a long time now, I am a Farstrider ranger of almost fourteen hundred years experience, I was doing this job since before your great great great great great grandfather was born, so the next words out of your stupid mouth, had better be “Yes Sir.” Are we absolutely crystal clear?”
“Ohhhh, you tracked me home, to my family home, how very clever of you…”
“Not Clever Nathanos, just realising what a colossal mistake you always were. This is where we come to look for you, because this is always where you run to like a screaming child or scalded cat whenever someone is a meanie to you, you damned child. Grow a pair you damned incompetent!”
I almost hated him tho in SoB when it was bugged and you closed the chat diag that popped and it opened right away and chat started from the beggining…
Thankfully i added move anything and removed chat dialogues
