Cataclysm Beta: Alexstrasza cutscene spoilers

We've known for awhile now, through datamined files and beta snoopers, that the Life-Binder herself, Alexstrasza, does battle early on in the expansion with Deathwing. We haven't seen it, however! Here it is, in all its cutscene glory -- Alexstrasza vs. Deathwing.
The video features Alexstrasza's son Caelestrasz, or Calen, coming to his mother's aid after a particularly brutal battle with the aspect of death. Cataclysm gets more and more epic every day, and the game's release cannot come soon enough.
World of Warcraft: Cataclysm will destroy Azeroth as we know it; nothing will be the same!

Great video, like the major part of you I can't wait!
I just really hope that Alexstraza will play a role just as important as Deathwing, as one of the strongest female character yet in WoW she better show what she is made of. I hope Blizz have taken this into consideration - After all there are loads of ladies playing this game, and I am sure that some of us would love to see that happen.
But there is some proof that it is happening, Magatha Grimtotem for example who decided to kick some ass over at Thunder Bluff.
We are talking Death vs Life , all the battles between these two aspects NEEDS to be EPIC, but let's not forget even.

Wow, Deathwing is big (understatement of the year).

So.. Deathwing is now the Aspect of Death?
Sithril Oct 5th 2010 6:53PM
It's mostly self-tailored, but fits him.
Neltharion, the Earthwarden, is long gone. Now there is only Deathwing, the black horror, destroyer of world, the Aspect of Death.

No, Saurfang is the aspect of death :P
Alxariam Oct 5th 2010 7:03PM
He's not TECHNICALLY the aspect of death. It's more of a nickname.
Like Jerry. Or Jim.

his real name is tim...but i think he still had "aspect of death" on his social security card. so he sorta has to go by that...

@shkss
Varok Saurfang is not the Aspect of Death. He is the Aspect of Badassery.

I'd say it's just a pejorative

Cant wait, love the cinematics :D
Slaight Oct 5th 2010 6:58PM
Yea i think these cinematics are excellent but at this point i'm starting to feel guilty for watching them all before i play the actual game. Ah well. Next cinematic plz! :)

I'm just glad to see Blizzard's really trying to tell a story in Cata (well technically they've been trying since the start but its never been so in your face before)
