The Queue: Nightmarish
Welcome back to The Queue, our daily Q&A feature for all of Blizzard’s games! Have a question for the Blizzard Watch staff? Leave it in the comments!
I think my favorite part about the Xavius encounter in Emerald Nightmare is the distinct lack of…anything. That blank, gray nothing is somehow more terrifying than any hyper-rendered environment we’ve been plunked into over the years. I particularly like how the ceiling is just a vague criss-cross of something that might be branches, or vines, or any number of wholly unpleasant things. It’s just blank enough for your brain to self-insert all kinds of horrible things that might be lurking just out of view.
