You've made life your enemy. And that is a war you'll never win. You can kill us… but you cannot kill hope. Can't I? Lord Saurfang. How many, do you think? Too many. There is no honor in this! They will come for us now! All of them! My father, Hekazi... he fought with you in the Third War. He told me stories. How you could cut down 10 enemies with a single blow. This be my first battle. What should I do? Don't die. Yes, of course, but... if I do fall, may it be with honor in glorious combat. There will be no glory today. Only pain. You have earned your warrior's death... my son. Yet once again... I am denied it. What are you doing? Claiming what is mine. Go back. I said, go back! Live another day. Go back to your father. I can't. He's dead. The Horde... it's all we have. So, you know me. Is that it? What I've seen? What I've done? Oh, give up, boy. Like you? Live... another day. Without armor? Ours is a cycle of hatred. Alliances forged and broken. We have paid the price
for sharing this world... and we have forgotten
what makes us strong. Close ranks! Advance as one! Lordaeron will be ours! My king, we have her cornered. Keep firing! For the Horde! Push forward! Anduin! Stand as one! For the Alliance! That's the last of the soldiers. We'll be calling up farmers next. When this war began... I thought we were fighting for peace. But we're just... fighting. You're doing all you can to stop her,
Your Majesty. At Lordaeron,
you had the chance to take my life... maybe even end the war. Why didn't you kill me? Could kill you now. I spared you
because I believed you have honor. Was I wrong? Did you want more innocents to suffer? -The Horde--
-I have given everything for the Horde! Bled for it, killed for it. And Sylvanas is destroying it! She will destroy everything! What I want... is my Horde back. Saurfang... tell me why you spared my life. I hoped... you... would stop her. I can't. Not alone. So... this is home now? Home. Family. And where are they? Not far. This world... it looks good. But it's wrong. Broken. Falling apart. Just like the Horde. Do you know? Do you know what she's done while you've been hiding? I left that life behind. I'm no one's savior. I will not lead the Horde. I didn't ask. But I hoped
you would at least fight for it. You were followed! I followed them. You and I… we don't get to hide. Varok, it's time. Those who defend Orgrimmar
are Horde as well. Our brothers and sisters. These warriors have sworn to fight... for you. Many lives will be lost. Or perhaps just one. Sylvanas Windrunner! I challenge! Mak'gora! A traitor leading traitors. Why should I accept your challenge? You want to make me suffer. Brother, you cannot win. My old friend. You and I… ...we don't get to hide. I set you on this path. And we knew where it could lead. Walk with me the rest of the way. Let it be finished. The High Overlord falls. I trusted you. And so did they. Death comes, old soldier... and all their hope dies with you. You cannot kill hope. You tried at Teldrassil. You failed. Hope remains. You set us to kill each other
at Lordaeron. You failed. Here we stand. You just keep failing! The Horde will endure! The Horde is strong! The Horde is nothing! You... are all... nothing! For Azeroth! If you could see yourselves as I see you. Toy soldiers in tinplate... beasts who howl for honor... standing as one. Savor it. Nothing lasts. What... do we do now? We bring him home.
Watching this is a bittersweet thing. Blizzard managed to give Saurfang a complete story arc through this expansion, with character development, foreshadowing, and deeper meaning. It feels like they clearly knew what they were going to do with the character from the beginning, and it worked.
And that is what is so frustrating. Blizzard can get so close, they can get enough parts right, that I can't help but hope they'll pull it together. There's always the next chapter, the next patch, the next expansion to tie up the bad strings and follow the good ones.
It feels like following the WWE. The story never ends, so there's always a chance to turn it around, even if only for a little while.
I don't even play WoW anymore but keep up with these cinematics because they're simply amazing. I'd kill for a whole movie like this.
“You have earned your warrior’s death”. Rest In Peace Legend
Nearly 25 minutes of beautiful CGI. We are 1/4 of the way towards a feature length movie and this is just with the small cinematic team at blizzard. Imagine what they could do with the funding for an entire movie. The Warcraft movie that was made was average I guess.... but it's like having a Marvel comic book movie NOT made by Marvel... It's never as good as it could be
Nice of Blizz to compile all these cinematic and the amount of cinematic we got in BoA which is awesome
I still don't understand the undead assassins? Where their objective really to kill Thrall? they were pretty easily disposed of. Were they suppose to poison thralls food, kidnap thralls family, observe and report?
Has there been any clear up on this or further explanation? or is it just a mishap in the writing.
For all the people who complained about every CGI cinematic being about Saurfang, this is why
Be great if Blizzard released a Blu-ray of all the WoW (or other Blizzard Ips) cinematics like they did back then. I think it was after WCIII released and it had Starcraft1, Diablo 2's as well. There's already 20+ mins here of one Orc's story, so I would gladly buy a hardcopy of it all leading to it, expansions from the past too. 4K or close to up-rezzed version of the BC and WoLK cinematic? Yes-#$%&ing-please?!
Is there something new or is just the old cinematics edited together?
I don’t get it. Why did Sylvanas just leave? And why did all her loyalists just let them in? Is the war over? What was Sylvanas’s goal, then? Where is she now? Why did she burn Teldrassil? What?
