While I like datamining as much as the next person, I'm glad they kept this patch encrypted so that we didn't get spoilers, it was fun to experience these cutscenes for the first time as Blizz meant for us to, rather than reading it in an article
so he abdicates?
For all people saying that Sylvanas is the only person Anduin can turn to because she can understand him because she went through the same... You usually go to your abuser for advice? You ask somebody who is the reason what happened to you? Sylvanas had her reasons for what she was doing, yes. But many villains have reasons. What she had done to achieve what doesn't mean she should be forgiven and all is well.Bolvar went through domination too and lost himself. He was very close with Anduin. The Ebon Blade also went through the same, they never meant any harm to Anduin. Why he can't go to them? To somebody who was also used and actually tried to save him, not sold him to the Jailer?Just because you don't know other characters and you don't know Anduin well doesn't mean this is alright. You think Sylvanas is the most logical choice... she is not. You think that because you know only a few characters Blizzard was showing in Shadowlands. It was not many. Not even Blizzard knows their own lore at this point and forgot that many characters exist.Why Anduin is not allowed to hate her for what she had done to him? Why everything has to involve Sylvanas even if it doesn't have to. I am glad they are not staying together, that would be really horrible ending and if this was the only way to show that they are not working together then fine. It's still Stockholm syndrome. At this point, please leave Sylvanas forever and never show her again, I think there was enough of her for 20 years. And I hope Anduin will not show up for really long time because the way they use and work with characters... better if they hide him and let him be.
Gotta find some contrived way to make Anduin not come back for another expansion or two, so that things can happen in the Alliance.Anduin is such an emotionally immature person who overthinks things that are simple and goes way overboard with being dramatic about it. Varian was so much better... Even if bad things happened to Varian he knew to just own up to it, not mincing words or whining constantly.Maybe this can be a segway into new, actual functioning leadership in the Alliance? Can this please be the end of just another human in charge? I won't hope for it, but it would be nice.
Yes yes, create more justification for the genocide your waifu committed Denasuer or whatever the fat #$%^ goes by. Sickening!
Man, a neverending Lost Souls daily as Sylvanas punishment? LoL
So in short, Anduin will most probably stay in Shadowlands, and Turalyon will still be acting leader of the Alliance, while the another expansion is not faction war-oriented?Is Blizzard too afraid that when they decided to give Alliance the same treatment as Horde got for once, Alliance players will cancel their subscriptions en masse? That's why we won't see Turalyon acting like blue Garrosh/spanish inquisitor?
