Good compromise character design wise between the full realistic plate armor (where you can't even distinguish a man from a woman, especially if they have an helmet) and the bikini armor.
>>
>>743418427
Warcraft has always been far more character driven than setting driven.
As a result you're always going to have a setting based around the action figures, as the world might as well not exist without focusing on the action figures who are currently inhabiting it.
In other words, game rigged start etc
>>
>>743418427
>return the franchise to it's darker roots?
You go back to focusing on the source of those darker roots. The Horde.
It's just a fact that the IP become more Disney when it started focusing solely on the Alliance.

Don't forget the practice of inhabiting shit-encrusted sewers, the most time-honored Horde tradition. And no, I am not referring to Undercity (the literal shit-encrusted sewer).
Meanwhile, you discount the Alliance contribution of shoes.

Its not?
By that logic all shit that Scourge done is also done by the Alliance cause Kel'Thuzed was from Lordaeron and Kirinthor and a lot of Lordaeron citizens fled to Stormwind and became a part of The Alliance.

And pray tell, why were the Orcs who Thrall freed from the camps in said camps to begin with?

If the factions hadn't merged in WoW, The Forsaken would've been an offshoot of the Undead Scourge, the Night Elves would still be tree racists against everyone encroaching on their forests, and the Horde and Alliance would still be the same Orc/Troll/Tauren and Human/Dwarf/High Elf.

Undead in Horde and NElves in Alliance is stupid shit.

Other-wise, BFA of all things was the last time they let you be le bad by letting you fully side with Sylvanas as a option for Horde until the game explictely told you off for choosing said option when Sylvanas got Garroshed 2.0

Who was the Horde made for?
>>
>>743421882
It was small stuff. You could snitch on Saurfang to Syvlanas, implied partially you're the reason why Saurfang had assassins sent after him at times. Once you learned the plan to break Baine out, you'd go snitch to Nathanos who'd send you in as a spy so you'd have proof of the traitors in the Horde and would ambush the NPCs that the Saurfang side would fight with against Syvlanas loyalist npcs, the script being flipped that you're now fighting the rebels etc etc.
It all then ended with the positions of the big final Saurfang vs Sylvanas quest being switched up. If you declined every attempt by the game to make you go rebel, you'd be on top of the Orgrimmar gate with the other loyalists watching Sylvanas kill Saurfang then go
>Fuck the Horde
>Fuck you
>Fuck everyone, you're nothing to me
Then all the good guy Horde NPCs look at you and go
>Oh, yeah, you may have sided with her to the end. But like, we understand, a lot of people were just forced into it. Just don't do it again, K?

>Horde, we've heard your complaints. We know you hate how we never give you any wins over the Alliance. So Sylvanas is gonna be your salvation, she's gonna help you defeat the Alliance and attain victory for all of the years of oppression!
Then quickly turned inot
>WTF Horde??? Why did you burn the tree down??? Why are you following Sylvanas??? Stop following Sylvanas still, you're a piece of shit for following her in this questline we give you the option to follow her in! Think how you're making the Night Elves feeeeeel!

>>743422462
By the time of BFA a lot of Horde players were kinda pissed off about a lot of little things that sorta built up over Wrath-Legion.
Alliance getting to raid Undercity in Wrath.
Garrosh getting villain batted during Cata and MoP which resulted in characters people liked like Nazgrim also getting killed off just because the writers thought raiding Orgrimmar would be cool.
WoD bending over backwards to fluff up Khadgar cause he had a movie to sell while doing a terrible job with the WC1-2 Orcs with many of these being their only real chance at screentime (Rip Bozo Doomhammer)
And the narrative bending over backwards to justify Genn randomly shooting the Horde in Stormhiem from their POV, just after Vol'jin got killed off by a minor Felguard after Varian 1v1'd a Fel-Reaver before he died.
Horde having zero impact on the end of the Burning Legion plot on Argus, despite the Burning Legion in the lore being the entire backbone of why the Horde even exists.

There was just a lot of animosity growing in the playerbase and BFA was promised to be their big win.
All BFA ended up doing was making it so the writers had no interest in writing the faction again, unless it was humiliating them more for just existing and having greviances.
You can't have a end all be all win in an MMO built on 2 factions, but you can have a clear favourite faction that the narrative bends over for.

Unironically, for being cool and flex about yourself. Most armors are not just steel boxes. They are work of art and people used to add a lot useless shit just to make it cooler and more beautiful. During the Renaissance, they even added big armored dicks just because they could.
So if women warrior was mainstream, there is no doubt they would show off with boobs armors.

It literally does. Comfort. Real life lady cops complain that bullet proof vests are painful because they squish their tits. That said, having them shaped EXACTLY like tits could be considered too much based on personal tastes, but that doesn't make it wrong. Bo Katan's armour strikes a good balance since the breastplate isn't tiddy shaped, but is obviously extended outward for titty breathing room.
