But we’ll see.Shoot through mini demon hordes in Mighty DOOM. I still remember her Are you the bomb this time moment and honestly get the shivers from it, and seeing Saurfang use Varian’s sword - even splitting it in half to surprise Sylvanas - even I, Alliance apologist that I am, felt the old Orc earned his heroes death in that scene. The whole deal with Nordormu and the Fractures in Time focuses on hope while not shying away from how awful it is to feel like you have none and your fate is preordained, for example.īut yeah, I’m never going to forget Jaina’s whole journey in BFA. One of the things I like about Dragonflight is how it explores all that trauma and darkness without wallowing in it.

That’s harsh if true. I mean Saurfang Sr – a likeable orc, all things considered. There’s a lot of PTSD in pretty much every main character, almost everyone comes close to dying and poor old Grumpy Gramps definitely dies.
