With the nevest revelations regarding newest expansion I’d like to write about possible way on how to somewhat undo Legion’s bad storywriting. Vol’Jin’s mishnadling caused quite a big outrage, his death was very unsuitable and Sylvanas received her development at his expense, when he was the one who really needed it due to lack of involvement in WoD and overal established presence as Warchief of the Horde a lot of people want this troll back as he was truly embracing Horde values and was meant to be great fighter and tactician. As I wrote in another post – he had a lot of potential, so if devs decided to somehow involve him, they have to give a lot to make up for that Broken Shore fiasco. I don’t think that “Obi-Wan” kind of treatmeant would be satisfying – as a spirit that sometimes gives instructions, because it’s very little compared to what his character was capable to do and still wouldn’t adress the Darkspear leadership issue (well technically he could point someone, but it would feel very cheap don’t you think? No to mention that building up character from point zero takes time). I thought that there was no saving grace for him, because in Broken Shore scenario everything that could possibly be done wrong was exactly done this way. But after reading this article on wowhead. (http://www.wowhead.com/news=274969/next-expansion-predictions-darkspear-and-the-zandalari#troll-icons ). That gave me a spark for somewhat satisfying story. I believe it would be a quite interesting to actually bring back Vol’Jin in his physical form after doing bargain with Bwonsamdi (I believe this is why he asks for 1 milion of souls for trade off). But after coming back to life he could decide to hide his identity and participate in war against Kul’Tiras to protect both Horde and Zandalar, just to reveal himself at the end of expanshion after he gained reputation and recognition. This way he wouldn’t be immediately and abruptly thrown into politics of his faction, he would have time to make up for his abscence and awful writing of Broken Shore. He would really be active “hero of Azeroth” that works for his fame and to solidify his position to perhaps to return as Warchief, and also make up with players that were disappointed with him.I would like this turn of events. It’s not perfect admittedly, but then again Vol’Jin should’ve neved die in the first place, and seeing shadow hunter in action would be something to look forward to (And reaction of everyone once they’d see him coming back should be absolutely priceless).
