Shadowlands: Neue Dialoge für die Anführer der Fraktionen
Als Teil des Pre-Events zu Shadowlands werden die Diener von Sylvanas im Auftrag des Kerkermeisters über einige der bekannteren Anführer der Fraktionen herfallen und diese mächtigen Helden der Horde und der Allianz in den Schlund entführen. Dabei handelt es sich um Thrall, Baine, Anduin und Jaina. Interessanterweise haben die verbliebenen Anführer der Fraktionen mit einem der letzten Builds für die Beta von Shadowlands nun wohl neue Dialoge zu diesem Ereignis erhalten, die einen Einblick darauf gewähren, wie diese NPCs auf die Entführer ihrer Mitstreiter reagieren und wie sie die aktuelle Lage einstufen. Dabei bitten diese NPCs dann entweder die Spieler um Hilfe bei der Suche nach den Entführten oder sie machen ihr eigenes Interesse an dem Kampf gegen den neuen Feind deutlich.
Die bisher interessantesten neuen Dialoge gehören eindeutig zu Taelia Fordragon und Mathias Shaw. Diese Texte zeichnen sich dabei dann allerdings nicht durch die eigentliche Wortwahl aus, sondern sie enden beide mit einer unter der Bezeichnung “<Stay awhile and listen>” laufenden Dialogoption für die mit diesen Charakteren sprechenden Spieler. Das Auswählen dieser Option sollte entweder eine längere Sequenz mit weiteren Aussagen oder ein kurzes Video starten. Es wäre also gut möglich, dass die Spieler von WoW durch dieses Gespräch einen erneuten Blick auf eine brandneue Zwischensequenz aus dem Pre-Event werfen dürfen.
Folgend könnt ihr euch diese neuen Dialoge für die Anführer der Fraktionen selbst durchlesen.

We had a life in Nagrand, A home. We were happy.
<Aggra looks wistfully into the distance.>
But… Go’el needed to return. We all did. For the sake of the Horde. And for Saurfang.
The Banshee’s forces took us by surprise. We fought fiercely, but it was not enough.
I know wherever they took him, Go’el will keep on fighting.
He would want me to stay and safeguard the children. So I ask you, $n, to go in my stead.
Find him. Find them all. And bring them home.

When I worked with King Wrynn to arrange a meeting between the living and the undead in Arathi, I thought I understood the Forsaken. Only too late did I realize how little I knew.
But after being raised into undead myself, I have begun to se the depths of what they have endured. With the help of Lilian Voss, I have found ways to aid those who feel abandoned and alone.
Right now, the whole world trembles beneath the specter of death. And fear, left unchecked, will consume every soul it touches.
I cannot allow that to happen. Not to the people of Lordaeron, nor to any who fight for the good of Azeroth.
Lilian Voss (Bild):
The war taught me many lessons. Who I could trust… and who I could not.
Through her actions, Sylvanas has proven that she doesn’t care about the Forsaken’s fate. But we have endured too much to allow her betrayal to unravel what we have built.
<Lilian peers at you through narrow eyes.>
You think my words harsh, $p? Did you willfully do her bidding? Turn a blind eye upon her endless atrocities?
Windrunner chose her path–and her allies. We all did.
Once, I would have sought vengeance. Retribution. But now, I care only that the Forsaken have a future. And for that, we need the right leaders in place.
I will lend my voice to the Horde council and speak for my people. For a time, at least.
Mayla Highmountain (Bild):
Baine endured so much during the war. He did all he could to make the Horde strong. But more than that, he fought to reclaim its honor. Its heart.
The Banshee failed to break him, so of course she would lash out like this. A cowardly attack was all she had left.
Baine means… a great deal to me. But my people–and his–are gripped by fear. Now is not the time for me to leave them, even for his sake.
So I ask you, $n, to fight to save him. As he fought to save the Horde.
Rokhan (Bild):
Dis be a perilous time for da Horde. Our wounds still be fresh, and da Banshee be inflictin‘ even fresher ones.
Da Scourge be risin‘ too. If we don’t be careful, Death gonna take hold of dis world. We all gotta stay vigilant.
Queen Talanji be back in Zuldazar, defendin‘ her kingdom. Don’t know if ya heard, but she been facin‘ problems of her own.
Da Horde gotta stand strong, $p. No matter what be risin‘ from da shadows.
Shandris Feathermoon (Bild):
It seems my mother was the only target who avoided capture.
I should give thanks to Elune for such a blessing.
<Shandris’s brow furrows.>
Yes, my minn’do laid waste to the dark manifestations the Banshee sent for her. But the power she displayed, the ferocity she unleashed, something about it was… troubling.
She knew there was a price to be paid for undertaking the ritual of the Night Warrior. With each day that passes, I fear the price will come due.
Taelia Fordragon (Bild):
I was at the Lord Admiral’s side when those monsters came for her.
They struck fast. She could hardly cast a spell before their chains enveloped her. She fought all she could, but it wasn’t enough.
I… I couldn’t stop them.
But by the tides, I swear I’ll see this through. No matter where I have to go, or what I have to face.
Mathias Shaw (Bild):
The king was taken on my watch. I should’ve had more agents assigned to him. This is what happens when I let my guard down. When I allow my–
<Shaw takes a deep breath.>
No, damn it. This was her doing. I won’t blame myself for finding happiness. Anduin would be the first to tell me that.
We’re going to find him. The others, too. Whatever it takes.
