    I'm looking forward to that new Harry Potter show, despite knowing nothing about it. Sort of like if they just made a buddy cop show about a warrior and a paladin in Stormwind, I'd watch that too.

    It's a pity WoW never really did like a vampire expansion despite having all the ingredients for one. An Underworld themed one by spacing vampires out in old zones with sexy vampire girls that could play either faction would have been great.

    Shoulda leaned into it, the neckbeards woulda played no matter what. Just look at the pandas, foxes, lizards, cows, wolves.

    Coulda made the game have some female players, hm hm. Maybe even add some romance to the plot.

    Like, without it being lame, like it is now. Sure the characters now are more feminine, but they're lame, instead of cool or awesome or whatever. They aren't even hot or cute! Just... wimpy...

    If that was the case, I'd rather we go back to giant muscled lizard people instead of these thin-armed lanky lizard people...

    Uranus was overthrown by his son Cronus, and Cronus was overthrown by his son Zeus, and Zeus feared his sons doing the same. Did it never occur to people that they could just retire?

    They're immortal, though, so you'd end up with an ever increasing squad of retirees heckling the current leader from the sidelines, and commenting about things were different back in their day, back when the world had just been formed and things were run properly...

    Reminds me of a tomb kings joke.
    Great great grandpa is pissed that he was buried in a unnamed grave, great grandpa is shouting about how his kingdom was so big back in the day and how he punished criminals. Grandpa is angry that his killers were forgiven. Dad is angry that his son was fucking the dad's concubines. Son is angry because these assholes won't shut up

    To be honest, the contrarian in me kind of hates that people expect the protagonist to have "character development" towards a "positive and/or healthy" direction. The buzzing of these flies are so annoying!

    You ever notice that the same people cool or happy with protagonist with harem are often the ones angry about mom or dad having a side ho? Hm...

    Oh my god, I hate that. But you know, if you as the author do it intentionally to get them to feel a certain way, in order to get pay off later on, I certainly think it's great. Of course, those kinds of people have attention spans shorter than a goldfish's, so they'll never wait for even a second chapter. Ughhh, it's the worst

    I just realized something. Since it's Warsong Clan, and we're using 'savage', you could have called it 'A Savage Song', which would have been shortened to 'ASS'.

    The main problem isn't that orcs aren't ugly in warcraft, because they are, but that regular humans are so ugly they could pass for peach colored orcs... you know what though, there sure are a lot of hot titan-construct statue-girls in that setting no one's touched...

    in-setting slurs is always so annoying to figure out lol. Have to constantly decide what a character might say.

    Maybe it's because the usual writer's first thought/first choice is often something inane like "green skin" or "knife ear". One of the rules of writing better is to deny your first idea, which helps with plot problems and just overall quality, but this is probably something fantasy writers often ignore... but, with how cute stone girls are, there should be funny slurs...

    I can't even buy those MTG hot pockets here. It's not fair! (Also, it's really annoying that there's a person people call MTG on American media that keeps making me think American politics might be more blue mana, but bah)

    It's just, idk, Diablo 4 doesn't interest me, you know? Dunno what's wrong, it's definitely a step up from a lot of its competitors, but I haven't felt satisfaction with playing any ARPGs since offline D2 from way back lmao

    It was utter trash, so of course only mobile game players will play it. I do see a future in these handheld almost-PC devices that are coming around this year though... I guess I just am hoping to find at least one good ARPG that'll bring me joy

    Let's see, the porn archetypes... you have childhood friend in Jaina, neglected housewife in Tyrande, Garona could fill uh stepsister or something?, ... Ysera should be the teasing and dominant aunt/older sister/boss maybe?, Aegwynn can GILF I suppose or just "worldly lady", if you twist it right Vashj could play a subservient maid/captured or conquered slave?, uhhh... hm
    d.fish
    I guess I just think that Tyrande isn't that hard to seduce. Her boyfriend--let's face it, they aren't husband and wife--has only been around a few times over the last ten thousand years. He wasn't even there for the War of the Shifting Sands, what a loser. And Jaina, having just been dumped--let's face it, she might have left, but Arthas is clearly the one who dumped her--wants a rebound.

    You could plant several flashbacks as the characters are introduced. For example, having a flashback to thrall and how orcambrian is his foil; two orc boys growing up in that slave fighting arena, one being taught how to think like a human and the other fucking taretha. Then, another when Jaina shows up. IDK lmao at this point I feel like all my thoughts on this matter have already been squeezed out

    haha fair, I appreciate all of your thoughts tbh, it's helped me a lot. Need to sit down and start figuring out an outline and how long this story is gonna be later today I think.

    I knew based on how much I've enjoyed your previous stories, WoW or otherwise, that I wanted your feedback :p

    Alright, I suppose my thoughts on the matter is more of a moral degradation type thing. And maybe a little bit of jealousy, you know, because who did Tyrande have to compare Malfurion with? Other fat, slobby, hairy, smelly night elf druids? That cuck Illidan? The moment she sees Shandris with a nice orc hubby who loves her all nice and cuddly, with half-orc-half-elf babies...

    He doesn't need to be outright malicious, but all leaders have to make choices. For example, helping the orcs settle--he could settle them closer to the goblins because he doesn't trust them or because doing this would let him kill two birds with one stone. Or letting the orcs go first when archimonde arrives. Or telling Tyrande to accompany OrcSI and make him happy, because Malfurion wants to go back to the Dream.
    d.fish
    d.fish
    Should he send night elves to blackfathom deeps or ask the orcs to try it first? Should he let the humans be the orcs' neighbors or put them far away? Should he stock up NE's own supplies or give orcs some surplus?
    d.fish
    d.fish
    He might not be malicious, but as a leader, his responsibility is to his people first, but that would force Tyrande into a tough position since she has to clean up after his diplo-hazards after he runs off to sleep

    Yeah one story idea I had to explain how OP the MC is was the idea that the MC was sent undercover by Rookwood but without Ranrok's knowledge. So he was actually a fully trained wizard, but all of the Ancient Magic bullshit was a complete surprise and suddenly his boss' boss wants him dead and what not.

    But it wasn't even worth finishing the game to me, so probably not ever gonna write that lmao

    if I were to do a story, I'd probably have it have nothing to do with the HL story, because it's boring, and just have MC take part in the Franco-Prussian Wars or whatever other Euro war, or maybe be a colonizer and plantation owner, collecting a historical harem, and opening up Japan
