Skoll Shorties

I managed to finish both Ardenweald + Revendreth yesterday. I honestly think those two were my favorites in story and in music. Maldraxxus & Bastion sadly just seem to have had a lot going against it. Despite Maldraxxus being the one I was most excited for it really let me down.

Ardenweald did a really good job of making me feel bad for what's going on to the zone as well for the characters. The selling point to the zone was definitely [You Know Who] whom I am very happy to have back.

Revendreth I think had the more memorable of characters. I really really grew to like the Drudges and the Rebel Vampires. Hell, I even ended up liking the villains of the zone and their level of snark. Denathrius is also a pretty fun villain.

I still remain firm that BfA's questing on Horde as a whole does feel better than Shadowlands' but I also do think that as the expansion progresses I am going to really like it. Definitely still excited to see where the stories go next.

Ooof. That's a real spicy take lol I've only done Bastion and feel like its a thousand times better than any of the 6 zones from BfA

Shadowlands' zones/leveling lacks one major thing about and that is Character. I really didn't connect with any of the characters compared to BfA's which had Talanji, Bwonsamdi, and Rastakhan as a few examples. I'm honestly struggling to remember certain characters' names. --

I really really did not enjoy Bastion for it's story. The strongest thing Bastion had going for it, for me, was the music and the atmosphere. The story itself just made me feel uneasy and hard to connect with anyone from either side.

I find this take very strange, and you're certainly not the only one I've seen make it. Yes the premise of Bastion is supposed to make you feel uneasy but that and the zone's story being of poor quality are two entirely separate things.
