Lore Recap: All the Lore of Warcraft 3
Рет қаралды 137,448
4 жыл бұрынWith Warcraft 3: Reforged releasing this year I thought I'd make a Lore Recap of all the stuff that happens during the story of W3. This video goes over everything that happens in the games Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos and Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne. If you wanted to know more about any specific topic I'd recommend the books. I also made some videos that cover the gameplay as well as the lore of everything that happened before warcraft 3.

All cards were created on www.hearthcards.net using photos from either Blizzard Entertainment's Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos, Frozen Throne, Blizzard Entertainment's World of Warcraft, or art acquired from wow.gamepedia.com/Wowpedia. If any of the artists or owners of any images used would like their art removed please feel free to contact me and I'll swap it out.
All footage and music used was taken from the properties created and owned by Blizzard Entertainment. Including Warcraft 3, Warcraft 3 the Frozen Throne, World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, Mists of Pandaria, Legion, and Battle for Azeroth, Diablo 1, and Diablo 2, and the Warcraft Movie.

cory probably because the millenials do what they do and chit on games like they did with mass effect so nobody wants to play them. i'm just getting around to playing WC3 Reforged and for reference material is great. Had to stop half way through because its white noise havent got that far in game and prob why the millenials didnt want to watch it either too busy playing jrpg my little pony games.

God but i freaking LOVED this story and characters as a kid. I couldn't get enough of them. Everyone was amazing, but I especially admired Arthas who actually started off as a sole character I hated for his annoying on-the-nose good-guyness, but very soon he became ruthless, shady, and I cheered. And I loved his sarcastic quips, especially as a Death Knight. God, did he look freaking cool as a Death Knight. But I was really sad when he became Lich King - in my eyes, he was devoured by Ner'Zul and lost his self. I also really liked Maev for being, frankly, comically insane, and Kael, who was the most sympathetic character in my opinion - I prefer to ignore whatever happened to him in WOW tbh

This video is SO well made and it explains the events pretty well. My only gripe is the lack of emphasis on Uther’s death as he was betrayed by Arthas his pupil. Also Grom Hellscream’s death. Grom saved the entire orc portion of the Horde from being slaves to a demon and thus saved the world.

One important point that you didn't include is that Illidan claiming the Skull of Gul'dan was vital to the Burning Legion's defeat, and he did so based on a hint from Arthas. This is an important point, because since Arthas is loyal to the Lich King it strongly suggests that the Lich King wanted the Legion to be defeated so that he could rule later.

Kael didn't really snitch on Maiev as he had no knowledge of her lie and he was just trying to be supportive to everyone. He likely assumed Maiev had just given up easily on Tyrande and he was probably curious about the relationship between those 2 brothers. He heard Malfurion sort of repeating the lie that Maiev told, but he never heard Maiev's lie himself. For all he knew, Maiev might have given Malfurion the exact same report that he would have, but Malfurion could have come to his own hasty conclusion about the matter. It wasn't until Malfurion interrupted him that he knew a lie had been told.

u've gotta do the story of what happens after frozen throne including that bonus campaign at the end of frozen throne if there isn't one. I don't know if u remember this, but I played through all warcraft 1,2,3 and frozen throne until blizzard throws its evil curve blade at its players. From being a single-player version it was turned into MMORPG that requires some sort of subscription/buying top-up cards that had to have an active internet connection. During that time not most countries had the net available to domestic users, so we had no choice than to leave the warcraft world. So much has happened since then, the story went far beyond. I just had a shock when I've learned very recently that the lich king aka death knight/prince Arthas has died.
