Yea Forums WILL defend this

He made the right choice, just carried it out like a angry edgy bitch which turned off both his super paladin bruncle and his slutty magician girlfriend.

No I wouldn't, I would attack it, idiot.

Which is why I said the closest. You are free to propose another open ethical problem that fits.

Fuck

Would arthas have been saved from becoming the lich king had Uther and Jaina joined him in the purging?

Uther was being a bitch while Jaina was too innocent to see the truth

A bald assertion isn't an argument.

Arthas was correct in his actions, but had not the charisma to properly explain his actions nor the maturity to deal with the weight of his decisions.

It's pretty much the archetypal fallen hero story, where it starts by having him do something that was right but lead to his downfall and corruption.

Yes. Someone, especially two someone's in positions of relative power, understanding and agreeing with the gravity of Arthas' decision probably would have prevented the shitshow that followed. He did what he did because other's opposition to his path hardened his heart, not his resolve.

Or they could, I don't know, frozen him or somehow render unconscious. Couldn't have been worse than what's transpired anyway.

No. So long as Arthas remained to defend his homeland, he was damned to fall into Ner'zhul's hands.
Lordaeron is already lost before the game even starts, we're just playing out the motions.

Assuming that with jaina and uther's power aiding him they could kill mal'ganis, arthas wouldn't get provoked into going to northrend.
Although you could make the argument that ner'zhul probably had a couple of backup plans to trick arthas into going there anyway.

What makes Culling of Stratholme posting so good? You can inverse some of the other WC3 dialogue, but they're never anywhere near as good as CoS.

Why does killing people stop them from becoming undead anyway?

* gets ordered around *

No, that would be the retarded playerbase who would rather play DotA than RTS, the market just responded to the demand

Obviously no way to represent it in gameplay but I always assumed they'd be mutilated/burned.

Because you have to be alive to be undead.
If you're dead you're just dead, without the un.

I mean, what else was he supposed to do? Only thing that might be unrealistic is them managing to kill everyone off effectively, I think plague would still have slipped away from the city, people would have escaped.

We should all take a moment to marvel at the engineering prowess of Lordaeran.
Years later after Stratholme was razed the building are still burning, having neither succumbed to the ravages of the flames or been depleted of the fuel to feed them.

Put his faith in the light.

I just want Warcraft 4 with good writing and retconing of WoW story (you can still add some shit from it, but written differently).

>Scenario
You're Arthas, you stand at the entrance of stratholme.
Before you stand Uther (and his paladins) and Jaina.
They have both turned their back on you as you're about to start the purge.
About 10 soldiers have joined you, and are ready to be ordered around.
Uther and Jaina are about to leave.

>Rules
You can make any kind of move you want, you have access to any items/buildings/resources that are normally available in a warcraft universe city.
The last digit of your post decides the outcome of your action.
>0-4
you fail misserably.
>5
It works, but might not have the desired outcome
>6-9

How about the exact opposite?

The fact that they're retconning Warcraft 3 to fit the WoW story means we will NEVER see the dream of War4 ignoring WoW happen.

Wow Hanekawa, you know everything

reforge is trash, it looks clunky the color scheme is fucked, you barely could tell any unit when clashing fucking disgusting

I slap Jaina across the face and tell her to join me

fucking slimy old fart wriggling out to early retirement i see

>she slaps you back and tells you to fuck off, then leaves.

Arthas was right to purge stratholme to prevent the undead getting a massive foothold on the continent, it was only his expedition to Northrend that was a massive mistake.

probably not, Malganis would still taunt him about Northrend, Uther would stay to defend Lorderaen and Jaina would probably feel too sick about what happened and just return to Dalaran. He probably wouldn't have to burn the boats though

I never asked for this...

Maybe Arthas wouldn't get so fucked in the head if he actually had his mentor and his lover to temper him

>some other way
What way, genius? Either you know or not.

>NO ONE ORDER ME AROUND
>NER'ZHUL ORDER ME AROUND

It's a remake, not a remaster. It's why it's call-ed Reforged.

Don't like it? Play the original. I'm looking forward to this updated Warcraft 3.

Nah I fucking razed that town.

Why didn't Jaina just freeze everyone to give them more time to find a cure?

Reforged will be the only legally obtainable version of the game, it's more of an overhaul patch for the existing game than its own thing.

>Reforged will be the only legally obtainable version of the game
What?

>"Arthas don't listen to a fucking demon"
All it would take to save Arthas was his mentor and his lover telling him this after the purge.

I have heard the summons

My bad, I meant to write officially. The only way to get the original Warcraft 3 even right now is by buying an old CD second hand or pirating it, they have taken it off Battle.net.

>pubes
HNNNNNNG

>implying it won't go to GOG
D1 proved this is coming

Also if you don't already own a copy of WC3+TFT, then you're a zoomer faggot not worth even acknowledging.

If you pre-order reforged, they give you a copy of the original right?
I will still play reforged... But I will never abandonned my old copy from back then... I've played this game so much with my brother... I will forever remember it.

I fucking miss Swords and Sorcery WOW, I hate the spelljammer shit it became.

Because Jaina being a super mega wizard is retconned

i'm not even memeing but the remastered looks soulless as fuck WC3 was already cartoony, but this one looks even worst

Because this was WC3 warcraft, not WOW.

WC3 was high fantasy, WOW was epic fantasy.

It's for the WoW audience.

yikes

Has there been any news about W3R since blizzcon? I'm worried for them after the diablo fiasco, this is the only thing i give a shit about them, I hope it isn't cancelled.

Oh, and waifu Azshara campaign were I can drown all the shits, instead of getting her killed in the raid, like with all the cool characters in WoW.

>that cinematic where Arthas kills his father
>that fucking scourge campaign just after

I played this game nearly every day for over a decade. The fact that they never made a sequel is a fucking tragedy

Who asked for this? Even WoW fans are aware that WoW story is garbage.
Even them are tired of Metzen and his green Jesus.

I would unironically prefer Metzen and green jesus make a comeback if BfA is the kind of story we get without them.

sauce ?

Pleb

No. Iirc Hiveworkshop maintains a full list of changes confirmed by Blizzard and it hasn't been edited in the recent months.

Following Mal'Ganis to Northrend was retarded, but Arthas was right to purge Stratholme.

>soul/soulless

is this clash of clans

Arthas merely sacrificed himself for the greater good.
There must always be a lich king, or the scourge will run rampant. Arthas is a hero.

It's the closest thing Yea Forums has to baneposting.

This looks exacty like what happens when you start adding HD models to an older game.
Older games are made to look good while taking in account the general fidelity of models, and when you start adding HD to it, even if you change everything, it will not look right unless you start messing around with camera visual effects.
Looks like a hackjob to be honest

>Following Mal'Ganis to Northrend was retarded

Stratholme made Arthas a butcher.
He had to find a responsable for his actions.
He had to "win" against the scourge to not lose face.

Kinky.

AHAHAHAHAHAH I GET IT! BECAUSE iTS A DEFENDING MISSION LMAO EBIN GAYMER MOMENT!!

It's not though.

Defending mission was the one before I think

Embarrassing
