You’re an archmage who lives in a setting where people can regrow organic tissue with science or magic, heal fatal injuries, make cybernetics and travel backwards or forwards in time. Magic can also cure cancer or other diseases, revive the dead or travel to the land of the dead and you have seen robots and spaceships that are commonplace. And yet you’re confined to a wheelchair.
The wheelchair is comf! and it has a dildo, purpleofc
>>729690937You're also on the Kharazan portal logs as you've trained under a Pedophile.Maybe being bound to a wheelchair is for the best.
The fact that the entire Alliance still fights with swords, shields, catapults and the occasional musket when they can reverse engineer Legion, Draenei or Titan technology is hilarious.

>>729690937look. I don't care about being a cripple in a fantasy world, I already have enough issues with the 95,9325% of the fantasy population being cool ass nonhuman gals and they're being massively ignored for the same old human fartsI have an issue with the generic recolored wooden wheelchair.A generic, wooden, floating, ethereal wheelchair. not even the cool average day self propeled motorized oners. just some stock standard wooden chair made at the last second.how many layers of aphantasia do you have to have to think that shit up in a game with mad technology all over the place? same world with space demon totem ships, gorgeous huge goat angel girls and cows that turn into cats that turn into bears.why
the dragon in a wheelchair is the dumbest and funniest shit
>>729690937yeah leftoids responsible for modern fantasy are brain damaged
>>729690937They really missed an opportunity to have him encased in a magic powersuit thing
khadgar deserves the woke wheelchair of shame because he's probably the worst Guardian of Tirisfal out of all of them
>>729690937>And yet you’re confined to a wheelchair.A telekinetic wheelchair. Even if he didn't fix his legs or spine he could just float around like Magneto instead he went to the extra effort of creating a magic wheelchair.
>>729690937The only one that actually made a bit of sense was the orc that was in the same wheelchair because he didn't have access to people who could heal his wounds, but that orc existed when people were a bit competent at writing
XIV? XIV won.
>>729692718its for you. the player. so you know that its a wheelchair, they need you to know they put a wheelchair in the game.
>>729692718Kill yourself, you dickless faggot
>>729690937this isn't as unreasonable to me if the player puts a little imagination into it and explains that they've been afflicted with a nearly unbreakable curse that disabled their legs.
>>729690937mages have no healing spells
>>729694213Dwarves uncover Titan relics all the time that can repair cellular damage or replace lost limbs with magic-stone limbs or ask the gnomes to make you a cyborg arm. Druids have turned deserts into lush rainforests teeming with life and new ecosystems. Theres a giant red dragon woman who can breathe fire and make animals and plants magically grow. Logically in his own universe, as one of the most venerated heroes in existence, he has the right to ask for some magic-mumbo-jumbo that can repair his spine.
>>729694485Why can't he levitate with an upright standing posture?
>>729690937Yeah but if I'm in the chair then I can collect my disability checks
>>729690937because enchanted wheelchairs are actually way more powerful than walking
>>729694476He was already stricken with an unbreakable curse that added 50 years to his age, and he got over that by just shaving his beard.
>>729694737>mfw you can transform into all sorts of animals and monsters and shit, but if you're crippled you still have to be in a wheelchair
>>729694708Way she goes anonWay she goes
>>729697072>average SWTOR cutscenes.webm
>>729697072Who is the shoehorned nigger elf mutt?
>>729690937same logic applies to being stuck with black skin in a magic setting
>>729697072
if you read the quest ect, you knew he did keep the chair, because his (maybe) gf, modera, made it for him
OP never played a campaign with curses and it shows
>>729690937Not just any wheelchair mind you, its an arcane wheelchair made out of pure magic. Except that it also is wood shaped magic.
>>729690937DnD is so fucking gay now
>>729694737>we represent disability by making it an advantageThe people screeching about representation are clueless about what entails a disability aren't they?
>>729692346like, they HAVE to realize they're not even hiding the forced enthusiasm because muh minority, right?
>>729697072>boss, the cutscene still has pre-vis animations. it's not ready yet.>ship it. *sips breastmilk*
>>729694306XIV also has a character in a wheelchair where high technology exists, retard.
>>729690937His request to use healing magic on himself was denied by the Committee for Magical Negro Welfare because he didn't have the proper loicenses.
Its not even a nice wheelchair. He summoned himself a broke budget plank pile in the same amount of time he could have just created a flying carpet that the rest of thw world seems to own.
>>729697072Whoa, what gripping storytelling. I literally cried, then clapped. Amazing. I don't think a 12 year old could write something like this. At least a 13 year old must have written it.
>>729690937he thinks theyre cool.
>>729698453>He summoned himselfA girl he likes, Archmage Modera, who also likes him made that arcane wheelchair for him. Literally, explicitly, the only reason he uses it.It's like Shadow the Hedgehog owning and maintaining a motorcycle.
>>729690937Because in fantasy games in general and world of warcraft in specific, it's really arbitrary what can be healed and what can not. Vol'Jin got shanked by some fucking nobody, Carine Bloodhoof died to poison, another thing that technically healers can "just fix", Anduins mother was canonically killed by a random rock throw during a riot, etc. In order to tell a story, these games always have to ignore some of the shit they should technically be able to do. People die of sickness, of infections, of poison, of curses, of being lost in the wild and god knows what. They're able to build a complete new body for sylvanas, but they can't give a new arm or leg or an eye to a character who lost his, Like you yourself said: the're goblins and gnomes making crazy fucking cybernetic sci-fi shit, but some still have fucking peg legs. So it's not that crazy that a mage ended up with an injury that can't just be healed away. My biggest gripe with Wheelchair Khadgar is: Why the fuck is it such a orcish looking, rough rock and rough wood looking construction with a lazy arcane transparency effect on it? If they went with a chair design, it should look like fine human craftsmanship, perhaps even elvish. Sleek and wizard-like. Since he fucking conjured it. Even better: Make it not an actual wheelchair. You can have it be a fucking magic carpet that's bend to like a rough chair-shape, it could be some whirling arcane energies, It could be literally anything that would still read as "oh, he needs aid moving around like me" to disabled people, AND fit Khadgar and WoW. But no, they went with literally the laziest way possible to do this. It would literally have been better if it was just an enchanted chair from the Karazhan banquet hall.
>>729697625You can change your skin color and gender at the barber.
>>729692346I honestly didn't mind her as much as I thought I would. Her design is still obnoxious and silly, but her personality was just amicable and welcoming. Probably would've hated her more if War Within actually had enough of a story for her to be present for more than an hour.
>>729690937>>729692346>woke leftists in charge of design it's so stupid
>>729697692>his smile and optimism, gone
>>729697692someone get this man a bell
Khadgar just likes to force his nurse to wipe his ass
>>729690937My actual issue with this is that he's a flamboyant dickhead and I'm supposed to believe he conjures up a shitty wooden wheelchair instead of a giant plush floating chaise lounge.>>729698905She must not like him very much.
>>729698398At least FFXIV has a reason for him being in one. XIV magic can't heal injuries like his, and the average person is too poor to afford any sort of tech that would help them.
>>729698398Its been so long since i've seen this guy. Why was he in a wheelchair again?
>>729700195He defended Fordola from Lunar Ifrit, Lunar Ifrit injured him permanently so now he's stuck in a wheelchair. I believe it was the .5 patch or so after Shadowbringers, setting up Endwalker.
>>729698398Is the most powerful and famous living mage in the setting?
>>729690937why do anons get so mad at cripples existing? no one is born perfect y'know
>>729690937this is why Mages are faggots. Imagine being a booknerd simp mage when you could be a warlock giga chad summoning slave demons and literally burning people's souls to ash (and then feeding their souls to your allies as Healthstones).
>>729698398FF14 also goes out its way to show that there are problems magic can't solve, and wounds that are too severe for healing. It's entirely possible that there's some side content I didn't do or don't remember that has something that could fix him, but the main story is pretty clear that magic is not a perfect cure-all. Meanwhile resurrection is straight up canon in WoW so I don't know why death is permanent for anyone who doesn't have their soul stolen, let alone faction leaders.
>>729699071Yeah I don't mind it when there's some actual thought put into the design and an in-universe justification (like an incurable curse, or healing magic being outright illegal). The thing is it's not about creating believable disabled characters, they would never go for something like a carpet or spectral mount because the point is that it has to be a recognizable as a wheelchair. They've achieved handicap identity politics.

>>729690937So is it cool for people to be trans in cyberpunk/high fantasy settings?
>>729694172At least he didnt allow Satan to possess his kid.
>>729690937you could've at least conjured a cool floating throne

What about Zul'jin, who is part of the race known for their fast regenerative healing?>Heal fatal injuriesCharacters die literally all the time, major and minor.

Have you ever seen the Bronze dragonflight do anything at all?>Magic can cure cancers or diseasesDepends on the disease or poison, plus Khadgar isn't either of those>Revive the deadBasically non-canon, you don't see any major characters coming back that doesn't involve the realm of death>Travel to the land of the deadOkay, but that doesn't have anything to do with Khadgar>Robots and spaceshipsOkay, but that doesn't have anything to do with KhadgarA wheel chair isn't any dumber than robot legs. At best you can ask why he doesn't just float around and they don't give a shit about explaining exactly how he's crippled now. Maybe floating sucks ass and its comfier to sit down.
>>729700831I've been looking for this picture everywhere, thank you Anon
>>729700692iirc warlocks have always been the least popular class in the game. Not really sure why. They're just mages: but cooler.
>>729701219
>>729691487The immersion died for me after Legion, you were flying around in a space ship by the end of it and the cinematic for the next xpac is a fucking medieval siege.
>>729690937>>729698398Guild Wars 2 doesn't have this problem.It feels good, lads!
>>729698398Arenvald has his spine shattered and the best magic and resources the Scions can gather on short notice only barely saves his life. The whole event is supposed to be tragic. He was a hero who fought with us on the front lines, and the one time we weren't there to help him he got irreparably crippled. He can't fight from his chair. He has to retire. He can't contribute to the cause any more. He fucking hates it. He's not turning down prosthetics because he's le differently abled and his disability is his superpower like every single one of wow's horrific cartoon stereotypes.
wokenoids subverted the IP.The answer is obvious at this point: Make another tolkienesque fantasy IP with all the charm of the original Warcraft, yet every single game studio seems allergic to trying. And Europe is just too untalented to pull it off.

>>729697072>>729694306don't mind me just comparing these two in-engine cutscenes
>>729697625>Cast Remove Curse>Skin goes from any other color to whiteIt's that easy
>>729690937I guess if they put him in a standard floating magic chair, people would think he was lazy.Putting wheels on the chair is semiotically communicating that he is disabled. Is it stupid? Yes... it's a floating wheelchair.Dumb shit happens at the crossroads of ontology and semiotics
>>729691487I wanna see next XIV expansion really lean into showing the effects of the half a dozen sources of advanced technology that have recently come about becoming part of the more primitive societies. Because WoW sure as shit doesn't seem interested in exploring it.
>>729690937>>729691487This is why adding more advanced technology to fantasy is always a mistake.
