[QUOTE="ShadowX, post: 1011398, member: 3720"] **************Spoilers*************** Well I personally hated the expansion campaign. Most of the game added so very little to the plot that it made it feel artificially elongated. The characters were also annoying. Maive was to similar to Arthas, Tyrande and Furion letting Illidan go was completely out of character, and Kael joining Illidan even though he serves the demons who destroyed his original source of magic was just dumb. Its even worse that Illidan does seemingly nothing to help the Blood Elves with their hunger for magic. And then Sylvannas just shows up as a Dark Ranger for no apparent reason when turning her undead was completely optional in the original, and even then she was only a banshee. And then when she gets free will you would think she would revoke her dark path, but no she proceeds to start her own empire. The only character I really like was Lady Vashj, even though the naga seemed rather bland on the whole. As for the warcraft campaign setting, I have to agree that I fail to see how good it could be. Warcraft 1 and 2 added very little to the setting and barely had any plot of its own other than "kill orcs\humans." This leaves 1 game and now an xpack to create a setting. Admittedly the current composure of the world leads to an interesting setting, but the setting has always been rooted in war, this doesnt fit well with the small adventuring parties of an RPG. I really hope Warcraft is similar to Diablo in that it has a lot of history to it that just never made it to the games, as I can not see how the games themselves could create a compelling setting. Oh and Orcs rule!! Best part of warcraft. [/QUOTE]
