I like the changes, specially for Orcs and Blood Elves, but I disagree with the Forsaken ones. The old one represented better what they are. Forsaken are usually neutral evil, and even when are good, are "chaotic good". They don't strive to protect the living, they strive to protect their own interests and that, sometimes, align with the interests of the living, such as killing the massive Dragon that threats the world, jailing a corrupted Titan or banishing an Old God. Even Sylvanas helped the Horde AND the Alliance when she had some benefit from it.To pretend Forsaken are suddenly "lawful and just" isn't only a slap in the face of everyone they harmed, it's also goes against why most players chose to play an Undead in the first place. Players do some 'internal RP" with their own characters, and Forsaken players like the idea they are "morally grey" and don't submit to rules, as much as Paladins like the idea they are the "major heroes of Azeroth".

The new goblin and the tauren intros are fine, but all the others should be reverted, in my opinion.
"As one of the undead Forsaken, you have been reanimated by dark magic. Though shunned by the living, you tirelessly strive to protect them." Poor use of words here. I'm no professional writer or anything, but they were shunned by the ALLIANCE... and if they're going to protect anyone, it's their fellow HORDE. Seems like that is what it was meant to convey, but it's so shorthanded that it's insulting to the entire history of Warcraft. "As one of the undead Forsaken, you have been reanimated by dark magic. Shunned by your former Alliance brethren, you now tirelessly strive to protect your new allies in the Horde."Oh look, FTFY. Still not great, mind you.
Danuser on the intros:https://twitter.com/SteveDanuser/status/1253723020331413504TLDR: They are all changing and alpha is alpha and it was a case of datamining taking placeholder text for unplayable content at face value.
Guess I missed the memo where all of the Horde races were undead so the Forsaken wouldn't have to protect the living.
