[...] enjoyed Spinks’ short post about the Women of Cataclysm. I’m always happy to see stronger female characters taking a place in WoW! I would hasten to [...]

On that note, there’s also Earthmender Norsala, a troll shaman with unique voice acting.

I haven’t read the book but I always felt more sorry for Fandral having played through the opening of AQ. Once you realise he lost his son in there, he seems a more tragic character. And certainly more interesting than Malfurion.

I really liked Lira, she was so much cooler than Calen I thought. I thought it was great that she was suspicious of you when you first go to their sanctum and that you’re able to win her over.

And you’re right that they did do a nice job with the continuity. I think I will notice this more with future alts because all the shaman were tending to merge together for me by the end. Except for the little goblin dude and his fire elemental, which was awesome. I never in a million years expected them to show up again.

I’m not sure why I find it so much more painful than the rubbish cockney worgen.

Oh well, it makes the dragonmaw dailies more personal at least. “Die, you horrible faux scots actor!!”

Ah yeah, I remember reading that.

I always figured that if a being was capable of shapeshifting from a gnome or elf into a dragon, surely changing gender would just be a minor issue in comparison.

She’s an Arms Warrior, of course she’s great (I’ll be upset if we later find we’ve had to kill her in a raid instance or something.)

Garona is pissed off at Cho’gall because he tried to kidnap her son, and she was mindcontrolled into trying to assassinate Varian Wrynn, just like she was pressured into betraying King Llane Wrynn in the First War. Enough is enough.

Fandral’s fate was also a surprise for me. I’m only halfway through the Stormrage book and he seems like he’s always been: A tragic, well-meaning arrogant idiot.

Zaela looks like Kadomi’s dark-skinned, tatooed twin sister! I want tatoos too, she should hook me up with some Dragonmaw artists. I helped her become a leader after all! I thought it was fairly obvious they’re setting her up with Garrosh.

Stormcaller Mylra was one of my favorite recurring characters in Cataclysm. I loved that you met her again after Deepholm, in the Earthen Ring quests in the Twilight Highlands. Continuity, what gives?

How did you like Lirastrasza? Aside from baring her midriff, she was properly clothed, unlike Alexstrasza, and I thought she kicked some ass. Unlike Calen, who I felt was a big sissy baby.

I think Cataclysm has given us a lot of fantastic characters, I already find a lot of them more memorable than in WotLK.
