Having just finished WC3 Reforgeds Rexxar campaign I might as well go on about Warcraft some more.
It makes me mad Blizzard got swallowed by the black hole that's WoW. I find the founding of Durotar to be a very fun campaign to play and it could've easily been developed further into a proper rpg (was a testbed for a few of WoW's systems iirc). Blizz in this time just got it when it came to the feel of guys being dudes, in this case being a bunch of savages beating the shit out of other savages. You got some of it in early WoW, but it was quickly lost to the loot pinata.
Anyway writing is serviceable, how generic it is works to its strength and it does what Blizz does best (justifying varying degrees of genocide on creeps). Daelin was right and it's one of the biggest narrative fuck ups of the later WoW writers in the 10 seconds or so they teased with Jaina realizing how bad she fucked up with letting the Horde butcher Daelin and his men and deciding that it's time for Total Orc Death. Thrall is also such a gay nigger that talks big shit and does nothing in the final missions when they could've at least had him do something. Cairne after all tags along with Rexxar to kick ass.
Only TFT campaign I don't like is the Undead one but that's purely because I don't like how the Undead play and I still like it better than the Reign of Chaos Undead campaign.RT:

quoting note1pcd…n8jsI find it really funny that one of the central plots of the Night Elf campaign in WC3 is about unwrangled women waking up their tardwranglers because a bunch of proverbial spiders are in the house. And that one of the pivotal dramatic moments is a literal woman moment lmao.
Three campaigns of guys being dudes and it ends on the amazon faction needing to be rescued by their men :anrylaugh_deepfried:
