Dagoth Ur did nothing wrong.

Solid choice as well.

It is time for more... experiments.

Them too but I think SHODAN is a top-tier villain

He hardly did anything for most of the game, but it's ok, because every scene he was in was solid gold.

Maybe.

A lot of his interactions in WotLK were handled poorly because everyone treated him like he was still Arthas Menethil (they called him Arthas all the time too), which was stupid. They should have realized he's some sort of undead abomination and no longer a human being that can be treated as such. It did this so often it actually succeeded in making him seem less threatening, since evil human guy is a lot less scary than Lord of the Damned.

But I'd still say he's ranked pretty high.
>>
>>340071639
I don't think there's anything wrong with that. In the frozen throne undead campaign humans were also calling him Arthas. He used to be their prince and future king after all.
>>
>>340071819
>He used to be their prince and future king after all.

For the Lordaeron guys, anyway.
Stormwind people had no connection to him and that's where the WoW people come from.

Because he still was Arthas at that point. Even though he picked up Frostmourne and went full on one ring mode, he was still just "evil" Arthas.

But after he put on the helm he wasn't just Arthas anyome ("Now, we are one").
>>
>>340072135

why is the horse called invincible if you can see it though?
>>
>>340070691
No.
But still pretty nice to see how WC3 finally ended

>>340072135
How did invincible end up being dead?
>>
>>340071639
That's because all the people interacting with him in WotLK mostly/only knew him before he put on the Helm of Domination, i.e.: when he was still fully Arthas Menethil.
Jaina also refuses to believe he's gone until you bring her over to Halls of Reflection.

>>340070691
no

God damn, I dont even know why people hated that instance so much, the wave fight was piss easy if you had atleast 1 paladin with you.
>>
>>340072414

Yeah but now he's like 10 fucking feet tall and talks with an evil gravelly voice.

Dead giveaway that there's a new sheriff in town.

He was a fucking joke in wotlk

Best part is that he just walks away and you never get to hold him accountable for what he did
>>
>>340071639
i thought they were setting up for a redemption ending since he sill carried jaina's necklace and some other mementos like that at the end it was revealed that arthas was actually fighting the lich king the whole time and was actually holding the scourge back.
>>

>i thought they were setting up for a redemption ending

Not sure how that could work.

The guy made an enemy of pretty much every person on the planet. Probably not even Deathwing was hated as much.

>>340072927
It's 2000 fucking 16 and I'm still mad about htis chinese motherfucker. Even as a kid I knew that the shit that he managed to get away wth is bullshit. And he wins, motherfucking canon that he does.

What an asshole.

I'm digging all this BoF4 love that's been popping up on /v/ now. Fucking loved the game, and I dug how they just let him basically get away with his war crimes.
>>
>>340072383
arthas take him for a walk in a Snowy day , invincible like a dumbass make a jump and fall cause of slippery ice and break his front leg , arthas kill him to relief him of his pain and decide to become a paladin

Nah he is the "main" antagonist of BoF4 that turned the love interest of one and sister of another party member into a building sized artificial womb abomination, tortured the love interest of the secondary protag until she was a catatonic husk then fired her malice ridden corpse into said secondary protagonist, wounding him and killing everyone around him...

And generally destroyed people lives and kingdoms

And then you see him just leisurely walk away in the credits

>>340073315
it would be that he still dies he just mentally fights for control with the lich king and it turns out he put on the helm of domination to try and stop the lich king to save the world.
