Skoll Shorties

Okay then, the horde attack the civilian town of Brenndam and kill a bunch of people in extremely brutal ways. And they specifically target it because its a trading post that feeds the zone. Literally not a military target in the slightest.

I wasn't including the Alliance's leveling at all on that front either. I've said it countless times that the Alliance part of BfA is by far the weakest and is definitely lower than SL's leveling. I keep saying Horde BfA Leveling for that reason alone really.

Well its not really fair to make this distinction if your problem with Bastion or Maldraxxus is about the story, because we're comparing expansions, not slices of cake from each one that are exactly what we want. That's not exactly a fair comparison.

That'd be like me saying oh I love BfA because it has Jaina's arc while ignoring that I despise every other part of it.

I typically do have the habit of really only talking or taking in the good but if the good outweighs the bad then that's typically how I go along with something. Vice versa if the bad outweighs the good. It's why BfA got hurt a lot by 8.3 in how I overall felt about it.

I donno my original point was that I don't see how its a fair criticism to call a zone's story poor because it makes you feel uncomfortable. Not only is that seemingly the point of Bastion, but plenty of other zones do the same thing and I'm only seeing this argument now suddenly

I really never felt the same in Ardenweald, Maldraxxus, or Revendreth. But moving away from my unease from the zone I still didn't connect with any of the characters and the story didn't impact me either. Overall it was always an uphill battle with Bastion for me.

Strange. I'm almost tempted to say its an age thing because literally all the people my age (I'm about to be 32 and my friends are the sameish age) loved it while the criticisms of it seem to be from the late teens/early 20s crowd.
