He even gets a whole mini-questline about how he's a Dark Ranger weeb who utterly fails at getting a date with Velonara.

You don't do that kind of questline for your own WoW character unless you're fully aware of the jokes you're making lol

People spread the lie that Nathanos is Danuser's self-insert character, when his actual self-insert is Death-Hunter Moorgoth.

It's honestly a super self-aware and funny character to put in too, and I wish more people knew that he was only ever making jokes about Nathanos as a Dark Ranger fan lol

Unfortunately the title of the racist sister goes to Alleria still, she abandoned her family and straight up left her kid on another planet to hunt and eliminate the orcs

You still can! After the intro quest, you get an optional quest for bonus Bronze reward to properly do the artifact quest and retrieve the placeholder the Infinites put in its place

It also features a very large Xal'atath to stare your character doing emotes, if you're into that sort of thing

Yep! Shalamayne is made up of two elven swords, Shalla'tor and Ellemayne. Each one was given to one of the split halves of Varian during his comic run, and when they reunited it formed Shalamayne.

It's a shame that they never fixed the orientation of the fel-corrupted version of Shalla'tor for Remix, so players will be carrying it the wrong way for the rest of time lol

Like if we're gonna totally rewrite the meaning behind his pact with Rastakhan to make it totally fine and normal, at least let Talanji get some cool Death Loa powers out of it lol

Desperately need to see Talanji doing cool shit like this with Bwonsamdi in the main timeline and not just a Hearthstone AU lol

These Resto changes are taking him to a dark, dark place. Please bring back High Tide to save your local Shamans, Blizz.

I like how he will probably never be called "High Druid" because that would just sound like he's a druid who really likes pot

The original plan wasn't to kill him, just to have him go missing (and probably have him show up on Zandalar)

The swap to killing him is forever baffling (and sadly, probably rooted in 'faction parity' more than anything else)

The Amani textures are fascinating, when compared to player trolls. They *could* be a player-ready model, with some tweaking.

They're not *exactly* armor-compatible, but the only reason why is the position of their arms and body. The textures themselves are properly mirrored.

For a clearer comparison of top (Amani NPC) vs bottom (Darkspear player), the areas marked in green would be considered "player-compatible". Red is incorrect textures, orange are correct but warped textures.

Again, not perfect, but a *lot* closer to useable than most NPC models.

The range from regular elf man to absolute freak you can make with these guys is incredible
