Good Ending Imo

Wait what, Lich King dies, that is a spoiler in a game where we kill everything that doesn't agree with us?
Guruda Feb 2nd 2010 10:35AM
I think we need to kill you for pointing that out.

With all the love around the Lich King ending I feel like I direct the pitch-forks at myself if I voice my honest opinion. I honestly was underwhelmed. Where was Jaina looking for closure with her former lover gone genocidal maniac? Where was Sylvanas who initially joined the Horde as a means to torture her one time master? Where are the faction leaders who spent a year sending thousands of their troops to nearly certain death? My guess or should I say my HOPE is that we see the rest of the emotions and lore settled in some sort of NPC chatter or ideally a second video. I understand team Blizzard at this point wants to go full throttle Cataclysm but this sort of felt like an injustice to all of us who wanted to see where World of Warcraft minus arthas would go.

Having played Diablo II, and seeing what happens to Tal Rasha, it seems like things could turn very bad for Bolvar for choosing to wrestle with the Lich King forever. Yeah, it's the only option they could think of, but who knows what will come out of this? I hope we see more of the new Lich king

And I thought I was the only one that saw WoW as uber fascist.
