WC2's and Day of the Dragon's depiction of Humanity/Alliance was the most interesting they've ever been. They were warriors of light, yes. But still brutal to those who oppose them (not just Orcs, but the Humans of Alterac). Still behaved like they were separate countries with separate interests rather than a team of incapable superheroes under the Wrynns (aka don't act like any believable humans). Can you even tell me a real-life man in power who acts like Varian or Anduin?

Throwing my opinion in again. In my opinion, War 2 never really had a good story; that was until the book adaptations came in. Warcraft 3 was the pinnacle: it, for me, defined what Warcraft is. Then WoW came along and.. Made it better, but that's not the point. War3 went waaaaaaaay indepth with the story. That's a good thing, a very good thing. The characters were great. The story was intriguing. And the best thing is: all campaigns are canon! War1 and 2 never did that. Warcraft 2 did not have indepth characters, or an intriguing story. Yes, you had the mission briefings in the beginning of each mission: but they told you fuck all in terms of the story. Especially with the hero characters: nothing. You had to read the manual. You shouldn't read the god damn manual to get to know story.
@Doomlovesearth8 жыл бұрын
My problem with the story of Warcraft 3 is the Prophet is a huge moron and all of the fighting between the Alliance, Horde, and Night Elves could have been prevented if Prophet had told them to team up earlier. Worst guardian ever! As for the characters, they were fine, but I really hated Arthas because his campaign is based around destroying everything that I spent Warcraft 2 protecting. The sole reason I got Wrath of the Lich King was just so I could kill him and sent him to the special place in hell. I hope he spends eternity there. But that's all my opinion.
