Sometimes I forget about the visual value of looking up every now and again. And sometimes I forget just how massive the Dark Portal really is in Outland — and that there’s a giant stone dragon head just kind of looming over the edge and keeping a baleful eye on every person that comes trotting through the thing. This is your reminder to turn your camera straight up every once in awhile, whether indoors or out, because sometimes what’s up there is really, really cool. Or creepy. Take your pick!

Either trolls are just really, really bad at cartography, or Lower Blackrock Spire is even more convoluted and confusing to run than you’d expect at first glance. But I do love the dungeon — there’s something about multi-level dungeons where you can stand up high and see mobs way down below that is visually appealing to me, and gives the place a sense of being way more massive than it really is.
