The Pilgrim's Plight largely borrows from the opening intro of the first Fallout game. Blood Elves are enticed to join Kael'thas Sunstrider in Sunwell for the new utopia. However, all is not well in paradise ...

Neat idea, and makes me eager for Fallout 3!

Nice movie. But then I loved Fallout so that's a given. And Gnomechewer always seems to produce quality machinima.
I still think the Blood Elves and Draenei are incredibly underused from levels 25-60. The BE's have this huge storyline potential and it seems like as soon as you leave the Ghostlands the overall Blood Elf storyline is largely forgotten. All it would take would be a few new NPCs in each zone talking about "Preparing for your Pilgrimage." This would set up a great reveal in Outland where you go from preparing to be Kael's lackey to being his nemesis.
I'm playing a Blood Knight at the moment so it is fresh in my mind. I'm sure the Blueberries don't have much special treatment after the end of Bloodmyst (which is an amazing sendoff) either.

Fallout
Top 5 Best Games Ever! In my book.
I know others go on and on about how the sequels and off-shoots don't all follow canon but I think they are wonderful games in their own respect.
For good old memories...

There isn't a lot for the Draenei after leaving Azuremyst. There's the small quest hub in the east end of Ashenvale, a single quest in Hilllsbrad, and a short questline in Hinterlands, and those last two could have both easily been given by some other race. For the BE, there's the quest giver in Stonetalon, the one in Thousand Needles, the one in Hillsbrad (that I think is just a , "Hey, welcome to TM! Go help the undead." quest) and I think that's it.
As to the video, I loved it. Fallout is still in my top five, years later, and one of the few that I've actually replayed several times. I really liked the "Sunwell of the Future" image; it really evokes the original video well, and is very funny at the same time.

I think there's a small Draenei quest hub in SoS also, though I haven't done it.

How funny... I just came from seeing the actual Fallout 1 video on another site just to come here to see a WoW version! Well done.

Damn it this cat is good. I haven't seen Fallout (I'm just now getting into the PC market ok?) but I love the style, it reminded me a bit of BioShock personally, with the type of hoky old time video being from the same time period. I was like something that does a good job of turning that time period on its ear.
