wow Pelagos and Kleia 9.2 Cutscene

[Starym 3,800]

 

Another cutscene has shown up on the PTR, featuring a significant conversation between Pelagos and Kleia. Spoilers below.

We've actually covered this dialogue before, but now we have it in cutscene form, as this is the talk that comes right before Pelagos chooses to become/give his soul to make the new Arbiter, the aftermath of which we saw earlier today.

And here's that Pelagos Arbiter cutscene from earlier today as well:

im glad they did it.  goofy kid but in all his quests was pretty even keeled.  Made perfect sense when I heard about it.

Wait...so Pelagos ascends to Arbiter before the Jailer is even defeated?     Does this happen midraid?    It kind of looks like it since it shows the fallen proto-arbiter (or at least that's what it looks like).     Or is this zone questing?

It's zone questing, it comes right after the "what disabled the Arbiter" bit.

Yea I'm seeing all these people complain about Pelagos and compare him to the idiocy of Bran in Game of Thrones but it actually makes sense if you ask me. We weren't going to "lose" one of our characters to becoming the Arbiter and this way at least it's not EVERYTHING Azeroth-centric in the universe (although Uther would have been a slightly better choice). It's a good decision, makes sense and has been set up, unlike most other things this expansion. Makes me sad that people can either hate everything or like everything and nothing inbetween.

It does when you look at why Pelagos has done what they've done, the issue for most has been that they've not succeeded at anything they've tried to do and we always need to help them out. Granted it'd be crap gameplay for us to sit back and watch someone else do the work, we'd be the NPC's then, but it'd be nice to see them not fail sometime before getting such an important role.

As for the last line, people either shout about love or hate, the middle is boring and no one cares so it doesn't get attention. In a social media age, mediocrity doesn't get attention, so no one says "yeah this is fine, things are ok". It's all drowned out by the "this is *filtered*" or "this is amazing"

If it looks silly, it most likely is real. I think he would look a bit better, if he was standing, instead of floating and having that long dress. Still, he looks like he is full of lemonade now. 🍋

It feels like we are npcs sometimes, especially when Jailer escapes and we are just standing there. Much of this expansion was like this, we keep defeating his forces, but when key moment comes and he arrives, it was still all for nothing, because he escapes very easily.

I think it was an easy decision, because we likely won't see Pelagos again, or any characters from this expansion. We go away and then the entrance to Shadowlands is sealed, or something similar. I agree that this expansion is very-Azeroth centric. Strange how we only keep running into known characters and races. One would expect Shadowlands to be full of some extinct species that Legion exterminated during their numerous campaigns. But very few things make sense there, like undead also existing in Shadowlands or those souls who join Covenant assume forms specific to that Covenant, yet some known characters look exactly like they did in life (Uther is also a weird exception, since his Kyrian form isn't a generic blue guy, he keeps his appearance, it only becomes blue).

You could sort of say that Uther held his appearance because of the whole "his soul is still linked to his original one cos Frostmourne", but then Devos would IMMEDIATELY notice that and comment on it, so no, that doesn't work either 😄
