>>714467986I can think of a number of old video games that cared about story as much as if not more than gameplay, though I can't rightfully claim World of Warcraft was one of them.
Warcraft 3 made very little in the way of sacrifices for gameplay, though I do think in that sense they ran more towards what they thought was cool regardless.
>>714468491Nah, The Horde/Alliance just shouldn't have been a thing in that sense. Every faction should have had their own base starting reps with other factions that can be altered as much as the player decides to put in effort to do so. The two faction system was and still is shit.
