The Queue: Go for the eyes, Boo!

I want to start off Monday by talking about T’paartos, the Paladin we help during the Draenei Lightforged allied race quest chain. If you haven’t done it, I’d recommend you do so. All the allied race unlock quests are great, and while I can’t really pick my favorite, I think T’paartos is the most memorable character out of them.

He has such an innocence to him, and his childhood connected with me personally right away leading to a story that I was synced up to from the very beginning. His origin and backstory is almost comic-bookish, which is wonderful in its own way. But that’s not what made it.

Patrick Seitz was the voice actor for T’paartos, and I don’t know if he was trying to channel Jim Cumming’s version of Baulder’s Gate’s Minsc, but if he was, bravo. And if he wasn’t, my god it was just a near perfect unintentional reflection. The voice acting, combined with the story, put me squarely back into my teenage years when I was running around with Minsc and Boo bashing monsters and standing up to pure evil!


The Queue: Me and Mrs. Kul Tiras

So yeah, the Battle for Azeroth alpha saw a new build last night. New zones opened up, a new dungeon, you can roll up an Allied Race now — that’s me up there as a Lightforged Draenei, for example — they made some changes to talents including giving Fury Impending Victory as a talent which means you’ll likely never take Storm Bolt again outside of raiding, and so I spent the night mucking about.

I love the design of Kul Tirans.

Let’s do that Queue, everybody.
