What makes the Stitches line so good imo is the fact that Stitches himself has no quest tied to him. The game gives you no incentive to own up to your mistake and face him - So if that's what you end up doing, that call is entirely your own. The game offers your character a chance to be something more than a sellsword or a murderhobo - A chance to be a god damned hero for once.

[@lynxerz]

Or an evil bloke...

[@selalewow]

Yah but if you are an early 20 character leveling in Duskwood and you see the fateful red yell that it is coming, you can wet yourself the first time it marches down the road towards you. The roads are supposed to be safe. I actually saw him spawn when I was doing quests in the northern part of the graveyard. It was pretty cool.

[@theblazingcrusader6322]

My pally took that shot no questions ask. For the common folk!

[@Thanatos833]

Back in the day I did the quest and still remained oblivious as to what triggers stiches to spawn. I coudn't connect the 2 events

[@Calekoflight]

Even better, you can't. Doing that quest chain at the appropriate level means you have almost no chance of killing Stitches without a group.

[@borisxbg]

My top 3 quest chains in Classic: 1.What Tomorrow Brings (legendary AQ40 quest chain) 2.In Dreams 3.The missing diplomat (Alliance side)

[@ValensBellator]

I’ve got like 7 or 8 of those “faded photographs” you get from this quest chain, which evidently means I did this quest chain 7 or 8 times... I have no recollection of it being so long and arduous but dang I must have been more patient! 😂

[@stephaniephouotrides2435]

1. I love my war mongering warchief 2. Loved the Zelda references 3. Nice vid ❤

[@Nicolas-ic5bx]

I have to go Stitches i need to give this phylactery to the most trustworthy of npcs the planet needs me

[@Kengion]

Awesome

[@Trucktore]

That detective style presentation in the second chain was so well done gj man

[@xWellensittich]

immediately reminded me of nerdSlayer haha so good

[@chadsmith5933]

love the noir style music

[@SH4D0W0733]

Sure, you help that Satyrr in Teldrasil, you help create stitches, you bring Hakkar into the world, you aid a black dragon achieve his goals and then you build an unstoppable golem for a traitor to the dwarves... But at least you make up for it by giving Fandral Staghelm a bunch of morrowgrain and you provide a lot of help to Katrana Prestor multiple times. Two very trustworthy alliance leaders. And you even do the sensible thing and deliver Kel'thuzad's phylactery to that totally not a villain member of the Argent Dawn.

[@MessagerOfHell]

It's a shame the list isn't longer. Most memorable quests I liked were: 1) Redemption (Tirion Fordring's Quesline) 2) In Eraniku's Own Words (saving a dragon's soul from enslavement) 3) The Legend of Stalvan (pretty dark story of love and tragedy) 4) Marauders of Darrowshire (a heroic battle for Darrowshire)

[@stephenscoggins3897]

Hirumaredx would approve

[@G1Arcee]

Don’t wanna spoil all the best quests by saying what happens in them all right? : 3 The rest are for us to find : )

[@MangaManifaction]

I love the Darrowshire questline. Tragic and bittersweet but amazing

[@nicotineaddiction1054]

Wait... If you upgrade Linken's sword if you stick it in the gravestone... Perhaps it's not that bad of an idea to stick the other sword

[@Makujah_]

Cant upgrade that sword - it already does shoot when full on hp

[@Whurlpuul]

[@HYDRAdude]

Classic/Vanilla's issue is the quantity of quest, not the quality of the quest, especially in the 40-60 range. The writing is genuinely the best I've encountered in a MMO, everything is grounded and treats you like an ordinary adventurer. I just wish there were a lot more of them.

[@enderpin]

One theory i've never seen discussed is that the fact that they run out is intentional. The idea I heard goes something like this: Look at the zones where you run out of unique quests. Winterspring, WP, EP, Silithis, and some others that don't fit the pattern so i'm pretending they dont exist. All of these areas have something in common, reputation. I'm thinking the final quests are the grind. Timbermaw, argent dawn, cenarian circle, wintersaber, and that other one who's name i forget that gives the douses.

[@Makujah_]

The writing is good in some places. In some other places it is this :) www.reddit.com/r/classicwow/comments/d1pibs/i_guess_the_quest_designer_just_sort_of_gave_up/?

[@gumis123PL]

honestly I think there is enough. I certainly wouldn't want the leveling experience to be what it was like in tbc and beyond, where you're just on a streamlined path of quests going from one camp to the next. most of the xp gain in vanilla is from mob kills, i think it was initially designed around grinds. this is also why there's so many outdoor dungeons where you can do just that. now maybe somewhere along the way of development the philosophy changed a bit because at low level ranges you don't run out of quests, but the finished product is what it is. certainly turned out more than fine considering its success lol.

[@CarburetorThompson]

Quality sucks on a lot of the quests. Not gonna lie.

[@rafotrarran6888]

@@CarburetorThompson yeah i mean the writing is one thing, but you cant deny the contents of the quests are repetitive and monotonous

[@Krieglocke]

10:18 you mean fight aquamentas, fail to enchant the totem due to not standing in the circle, abandon the quest, go back to felwood, grab the quest again and then enchant the totem?

[@nitrorabbit]

Hahahaha this cracked me up XD

[@TE-eq1dc]

It’s “Abercrombie and Stitch” Most people don’t realize it but Stitches creator Abercrombie is another one of blizzards Easter eggs for the store Abercrombie and Fitch.

[@michaelsuder3956]

I knew Abercrombie was part of an Easter egg but I couldn’t find the “Fitch” portion. Can’t believe I missed out on Stitch being the other half

[@thanquolrattenherz9665]

its hard to see the second half in nonenglish clients

[@sophiefrancis8295]

I didn’t know this. Abercrombie and Fitch is more of an American country.

[@daisycarbonell]

I think that's a very creative thing to do to have people's WoW Characters in your videos for being on Patreon. It makes your videos feel a bit more alive, ya know?

[@akadayo]

For me, one of the most interesting questlines was in Dustwallow Marsh: The Dragonkins raided a small Ogre village, many of them have died defending their home, some of them fled, living alone in the woods or teaming up with other survivors. I don't remember much, but there's a Two-Headed Ogre Shaman named Brogg, that was allowed to live in one of the Goblin settlements. He would constantly tell us about the assault on their village, and he really shows that even an ogre can be very kind and honorable. The Dragonkin Banners, their blood and their hatred - we gather it all in order to help the Shaman create a totem that would help the Hero of The Horde to see the spirits...The spirits of those who died protecting their home. We need to find the remains of the defenders, and put their spirits to rest...Once the deed is done, Brogg is finally relieved, that his friends are now in peace. There is also a questline in the Horde Camp, where an Elder Ogre is losing his patience towards their Chieftain. That is because he doesn't want to retake the fallen village out of dragonkins claws, so the elder and the hero of the Horde are planning a small revolution against him. Finally, the last act of service for the Ogres - we have to defeat the chieftain. Noticing that the power gap between the Hero and him is incomparable, the former chieftain proceeds run away... Despite all this annoying mobs and gangers, I really like Dustwallow Marsh, because it showed us a completely new side of the Ogres.

[@SuzieB23]

The undead talking made me laugh heartily. i was caught off guard and it's wonderful.

[@mikaeltahtinen528]

That detective scene is absolute gold !!

[@xxDrain]

There was always something gratifying about completing those looooong quest chains all over the world. Each stop felt like you're there on a special mission, unlike the others who might be questing in that area. Those travel times tho, holy fuck. And with a slow mount, no less.

[@Shortyland05]

You could make a 10 minute video about the history of dirt in World of Warcraft and still make it hilarious and entertaining

[@Fyrlink]

the questlines in duskwood are unbearably long holy shit lol

[@Epzilon12]

I'm sad you didn't talk about Darrowshire, which is my favorite quest chain in all of WoW. These are great questlines as well.

[@Anne231154]

These quests were cool. I remember going back to Darkshire later on and there was Stitches. I had levelled up quite a bit and when he was dead everyone cheered! The crystal cave in Un'goro crater was pretty. People had a party there one Winter Veil. Does anyone remember the crazy goblin quest in Booty Bay when he sent you to Swamp of Sorrows to pick a herb? You finally take it back to the Inn at Booty Bay and he snorts it up his nose and gets off his face. I never forgave that goblin.

[@sydneygray986]

When he was walking away on the stitches quest line I was expecting a mortal combat "get over here" and get hooked back.

[@Tectone]

FOR ANYONE SAYING AWESOME VIDEO, THIS VIDEO HAS BEEN OUT FOR LESS THAN 1 MINUTE YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT (but btw awesome video platinum great job)

What about the Mistmantle quest?

What about Razelikh quest chain in the blasted lands !?

[@Human000001]

These aer great questlines indeed, but some others I really like is the Stalvan, Tirion, and the whole questchain involving Deadmines.

[@CptSlow89]

Before viewing, THE LEGEND OF STALVAN!!!

[@jeffagain7516]

I think many of my fave quests were my Class quests. I enjoyed the Lock and Hunter quests so much, i ended up making an Alt for many of the other classes, just to play their class quests. I didn't take them all to max but still had great fun on the early quest-lines. Not gonna lie, the Shaman and Druid quests were brutal but still fun from a "glad that's over!" perspective, heh. ;) Not sure if the idea interests you buddy but I think a few vids on the class quests ( Vanilla Classic era) would probably receive GREAT response from the community. Food for thought?

[@M4XIUM]

Can I say something real quick, I frickin love how you used the Wrathgate Cutscene music in the background for the Stitches questline.. Awesome

[@ruskyhusky69]

In Cataclysm they actually did let you know what you've done and you needed to take down stitches in the final quest. HOWEVER - you can just take the quest and leave with "F this" face and see Darkshire being burn in the background...

[@ZanathKariashi]

and then it turns out, the majority of Darkshire was working for the legion the WHOLE TIME. Abercrombie was the GOOD GUY!

[@vladorsomething8147]

@@ZanathKariashi dude that isnt true

[@MyidolGwen]

@@vladorsomething8147 did you play the prepatch for legion? it actually is, darkshire had a cult in it loyal to the legion and the ebonlockes both the mayor and commander althea were loyalists

[@Thoughtmo]

What music did you use for The Shady Rest Inn intro? I know I've heard it sampled on a Joey Bada$$ song before!! Amazing video btw, obviously, you're killin it

[@tastefullynerdy1161]

I think it's from LA Noire, a fantastic detective game 😊

[@insecdroid]

Linken’s quest chain is one of the reasons I wanted to play classic.

[@Trazynn]

My favourite is still the Ancient Egg quest. It spans across continents, several instances, and finally ends at Jintha'alor which is practically an open-world instance. You need a party to do it, but you often run into hostile parties trying to do the same thing. You can work together but often it turns into a hostile rat race and amazing emergent gameplay that hasn't been replicated since then.

[@AhPook]

Fun fact about the Linken quest, Aquamentus is actually the name of the first boss you fight in the original Legend of Zelda. I love that questline, there are so many references to different points and places in different Zelda games. Like, getting your sword tempered in the spring; that's a reference to how you get the Gilded Sword in Majora's Mask. Literally every segment of that quest references something Link has done in the series. Whoever wrote it, must have played a lot of Legend of Zelda. In my opinion it's one of if not the best questline in all of WoW.

[@jimmy_iKoN]

@4:49 I actually laughed

[@Barholtworld]

Now, this hand lotion i had on my hands and my pants being down is finally useful for something.

[@Blastros01]

Honestly $1 For content and $10 to effectively be in the video, those tier rewards are awesome man. Keep up the content I get hype every time i see an upload of yours :)

[@MrGreekACE]

4:39 is it just me or is this an oxhorn reference

[@ChristopherStone]

My favorite thing about Stitches is that as a player since vanilla I’m like “ya he might appear but it’s pretty easy to catch him.” Just last week I was taking a shortcut off the road and there he was sprinting between the freaking trees then two-shot me.

[@ZanathKariashi]

I like the Sully Baloo questline. Middle of no where and super easy to miss, and gives a FUCK TON of xp if you actually found the quest starter and did the questline.

[@Mysteriosf2ptwink]

What's the travelling music called?

[@HerrDext3r]

Actually, if you read all scraps of paper along the way - Legend of Stalvan is much more interesting than one with Abercrombie/Embalmer...

[@ivorymantis1026]

Thrall is good. That's why Garrosh was a nice change of pace. Garrosh lasted longer than he had to simply due to lack of options and was given a pitiful conclusion. He was literally doing what he was best at, appointed by someone who thought the leadership position would change them, then the one that appointed him took none of the responsibility after executing him. Wrath of the Lich King and the revamped map of Azeroth in Cataclysm were better zones as a result of him existing.

[@apriltomlinson3945]

4:43 why is that kinda true..

[@achabotte]

There was a quest in ST with some dragon something or other that was amazing when i found it but just kinda ended abruptly with no decent payoff. These are the things WoW should be focused on.

[@ViewTube_Emperor_of_Mankind]

8:20 dude it is called AMNESIA not DEMENTIA... those are 2 very different things.... Though dementia generally involves memory loss, memory loss has different causes... Dementia impacts thinking and social abilities severely enough to interfere with your daily life. Linken can still do all that.. he simply only has Amnesia and lost some memories..

[@wiiblii8584]

Even the boring quests are made a little interesting with the flavor text at the beginning and end of them. For example, the quest in which you must collect some Raptor Heads, the quest Giver essentially says "GOD DAMN IT THE RAPTORS STOLE MY F*CKIN' SUPPLIES, YOU GO KILL EM' AND BRING ME THEIR FFFFFFF*CKIN' HEADS"

[@lukacsnemeth1652]

mine as well, used to farm righteous orb s from the last stage :D

[@Dr.Cosmar]

That's ok, I really like thrall too. Green Jesus, Purple Judas, and Blue Osiris need to come back to the spotlight... Incase you where lost, Thrall, Illidan, Arthas (the only characters anyone actually cares about). PS, don't try to tell me Arthus is dead. Shadowlands is a thing, and so far...havn't seen a hint of him. His fanbase knows he's in torghast somewhere, probably as an adolescent. I can't wait, but if it doesn't happen i'm selling all my warcraft merch.

[@GLIEPNIR]

I guess the Linken sword is a reference of the quest to get the Unbreakable Goron Sword in OOT... In that one you do run all over the goddamn map xD Then again, that one gives an amazing reward, while here it's not bad but nothing super epic :3

[@Mufireael]

Im kinda speechless rn, that was SUCH a good video,! Appreciate it, take care Platinum, cheers! 🍻

I remember doing that Linken one way back. I kept that dang photo for so long, but I LOST it because I sent it to an alt to hold on it, but I forgot to actually take it out of my mail. My sub then went down and I lost the Photo forever...I tried to send a Ticket but Blizz told me that they couldnt do anything and I was SoL LOL I do have the sword to mog though

[@adrasteia3866]

If i remember correctly, that quest chain in duskwallow marsh , on the alliance side, had something to do with getting information about the disappearance of varian wrynn, although the player doesnt realize it at the beginning.

[@oluftheexplorer9476]

Had a thought... I don't think you can do the Linken questline in hardcore since you have to kill yourself to do it.

[@clarkjohnson6947]

Dude, my favorite part was the black-and-white noir mystery for the Shady Rest Inn. Omg that was amazing!

[@patriotjedi530]

The Linken quest is great, but you chose two of the most forgetable quests out of thousands. What about the quest that involves upgrading your dungeon set 1 to set 2?! What about the quest where you discover the true origins of the worgen?! There are so many better quests to have chosen than Stitches and Shady Rest lol

[@Lucifronz]

All this really did was remind me how awful Vanilla WoW's questing was. I don't get why people want shit like this back, let alone nothing but it.

[@callingofcreation6420]

I remember making this quest and it was kind of a pain the ass but actually it was enjoyable. If you play this with patience and not all at once. Now a days, is kind of difficult to play wow since the game is just unfun and very ridiculous to play.

[@DelgadosNEOCorp]

I've always done Linken quest with every character I've created

ive been doing every quest and the quests that span across different zones are so cool cuz u get to follow the story but you do like 1-2 of the quests then u have to wait to go to the zone it wants you to it just adds something really nice about the world that makes it feel real and and alive, l
