Stay A While and Listen9.2 campaign

Taelia: Father... I've been thinking about when we last spoke, and I wanted you to know...
Taelia: I will never agree with your choice to hide the truth that you were still alive. But I understand why you did it. And that you didn't mean to hurt me.
Bolvar: I believed I would be trapped in that ice forever, holding the Scourge at bay. I thought that was the only path left for me. I dared not hope for anything more.
Bolvar: When the helm was broken and I was free, I... I was afraid.
Taelia: Bolvar Fordragon, champion of the Alliance... afraid? Of what?
Bolvar: Of you. That the daughter I loved with all my heart would find me... and see only a monster.
Taelia: No. I see you for the hero you are. And the father you can yet be, if you're willing.
Bolvar: I won't waste this chance, Taelia. I promise you.

Comment by JaycoIt’s almost like someone at the WoW team decided to start listening to players. If they’ll start communicating directly with their consumers instead of making everything sound like a marketing spin I may start giving them the benefit of the doubt.Comment by BeedrillEUBolvar: I won't waste this chance, Taelia. I promise you.

Arbiter: Bolvir I want you to watch over the Maw

Bolvar: King o’da Maw Baby! Sorry Tali but I got a new batch of undead to watch over. Cya when ya dead kComment by zanpakutoThat is quite nice . I like it .Comment by kromzulThis reminds me that they broke the helm of domination in the immediate introduction of the expansion and then did absolutely nothing with the Scourge except for a ten minute pre-patch thing. You know, the Scourge, probably the high point of Warcraft storytelling and the whole point of Warcraft 3. I guess the whole concept of “undead” is just gone now and we only have d spirits and soul management pipelines and such.Comment by SgtGrumblesA much more reasonable way for Taelia to speak to her father. The last couple of conversations she had with him made her sound incredibly naïve and cruelly unsympathetic to the sacrifice her father made.Comment by ThecloskIs it weird to anyone else that she isn't facing him while having this conversation?Comment by ramajukoIs it weird to anyone else that she isn't facing him while having this conversation?Comment by NerdelbaumTaelia: No. I see you for the hero you are.

It'll be great. We can take a stroll through the park with everyone running away screaming, barbecue some meat on your belly and talk about all the time you sat on the frozen throne and did basically not much.Comment by AnyMaeGrrlWhen are we gonna get something like this for Darion and Alexandros? Or Jaina and Calia talking the permanent death of Arthas? I could care less about Bolvar and a daughter that was previously unknown and is probably someone at Blizzard's self-insert. Even Calia has more significance lore-wise (in that she was actually mentioned and existed before she appeared in Legion) but they're trying desperately to make Taelia this important lore character despite the fact that she didn't even exist before BfA.Comment by HappiiRemember when Bolvar had a spine in Legion, trying to strike fear in the heart of DK's and literally sieged the paladin order hall to try to raise tyrion? or how he threated to let you die as a mage during the artifact quest? Or when he told us to gtfo when we went to just ask about voljin? Ya, now he's a ^&*!@ rofl, looks like losing to sylvanas really killed his manhood and ego.Comment by rezzykThis reminds me that they broke the helm of domination in the immediate introduction of the expansion and then did absolutely nothing with the Scourge except for a ten minute pre-patch thing.

Sure would have been nice to see like... four years ago. Maybe during a comic *glares angrily at Vereesa and Alleria*Comment by CaeruleNow make him suffer the consequences for sending the DK class order hall to attack the Paladins of Light's Hope, and the Red Dragonflight.Comment by PierrotyYet she still doesn't really react to her father being a human husk that is burning from inside... not even a bit worried or horrified. I mean, their scenes always feel like she is used to seeing people looking like this all the time.Comment by GarlakkThis is cringe
