The Queue: I also think Malfurion Stormrage is pretty dope

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!

Like Rossi, my cohort in lore speculation and sometimes quasi-madness, I too enjoy Malfurion Stormrage. Mind you, when I look at characters I tend to see their potential, and sometimes I feel like that potential is sadly underutilized. But his shift (no pun intended) in Darkshore from obsessed-with-neutrality to terrifying-forest-god was exactly what I was hoping to see one day. You don’t mess with a centuries-old dude who has an almost complete mastery over the powers of nature. It’s just…a terrifically bad idea. Point is, I can enjoy characters even if I don’t necessarily enjoy the way they’re currently being interpreted — which was a lot of my problem with Malfurion. Sometimes his writing just didn’t make logical sense.

Anyway, on to your questions!


The Queue: Malfurion Stormrage is one of my favorite characters

Yep. I like Malfurion. He’s had a lot of awful storylines in WoW, and some really bad choices for his character, but I still like him. Especially now that he has abandoned that whole ‘neutrality’ deal and is openly murdering fools in Darkshore. Give me a lot more of Malfurion wasting people with roots and coming out of the dark as a giant bear to eat people’s faces.

It’s the Queue. Let’s chat.
