"The storytelling is happenning thorugh gameplay"
Ok but the story is still shit?
Like, ok you wanna have some paladin exhaust his light to fight Kith'ix? Ok have Arator do it and spare Liadrin, then we get the "heroic sacrifice" and get rid of the fucking 40 year old teen
The biggest issue I'm seeing with the Liadrin cinematic discourse is that apparently no one paid a fucking bit of attention to the raid mechanics.
Throughout the fight, she's repeatedly casting spells to push back the darkness, exhausting herself in the process. She eventually casts Last Light, fully healing and empowering the raid, which is where her sacrifice actually happens.
But apparently, if every single narrative detail isn't spoon-fed to people through a cutscene, it might as well not have happened.
And I'm willing to bet a good chunk of the people bitching about the lore haven't even played through the fucking raid. And if they did, they probably queued into Story Mode, mashed their one button, and paid absolutely no attention to what was happening around them.
Then they turn around and complain that the story makes no fucking sense.
The storytelling is literally happening through gameplay. Maybe pay attention to it.
cinematic + post raid dialogues thoughts:
Yes this is a meme image, but by this stage, I think I do genuinely mean it. Leadership, where the fuck are you?
Ugh. This is what RL'ing yourselves off the reactions of clapping seals gets you. GGWP, you can't write anymore.
@BaalTheWarlock@Krexxal I would honestly love to get like a 40 min video from the writers where they justify the choices they made just to see if there is any hope going forward
1: she deserved better (all the blood elves did in this xpac)
2: having her kill the ancient AMANI enemy is beyond stupid
3: another horde character, another reason to strap the windrunners to the next mananomb and nuke stormwind to kingdom come
