I love how the dark elves' vortex campaign story is similar to the high elves, like how 2 heroes venture together to help advance the rituals, and both the druchii and asur's heroes are a mage and a melee hero
Ah yes, that´s right. Since the standard-mages in-game of the HE are all females, I quick-thought that the girl was the mage as well. But still, the mage at the end also dies don´t he? He sacrifices himself in the ritual to save the vortex or something? "Fleeting Glory, but glory nonetheless", at least that was what I got from that.

Really the campaign for Warhammer 3 is hot garbage compared to Warhammer 2's Vortex campaign. I'm playing through the Kislev campaign and it makes me want to rip my hair out. I never EVER felt that with the Vortex campaign. The story is super lackluster and way too copy paste for each faction, for example Konstaltyn nor Boris don't even appear in the last cutscene while Katarina does. Realms of Chaos was poorly made.
Why can't elves hang on to their own stuff?!? Lost crown pieces. Lost Moonblades. Lost kingdoms. Lost elfgates. Lost Elfstones. Lost lore. Lost peoples in different dimensions. Damn, elves...GET IT TOGETHER!! (Bonus XP to those who can reference those items listed)

"End Times" aren't canon. Storm of Chaos is. GW are scum

I don't think the campaign in WH2 is well written. The Horned Rat has no reason to announce his plan to everyone, except to make the plot move on.

The epilogue reveals the Galifreus you see in-game is a Dark Elf agent and the 'real' Galifreus died prior to the events of the game.

Are those cinematics gone from wttw 2? :( this look so amazing and immersive
Gone? These are all from TW:WH2, 1 had different stuff (and much more rare). They are only in the Vortex campaign, though.
That loremaster, isn’t he the one we see at the start of the nkari campaign?
I dont remember seeing anyone like that. You mean in the cinematic intro of slaneesh?
@@FilipMoncrief yes
@@Revenant-Will but there’s none
i have to watch it here since i ended up completing the campaing by domination... im suffering from success...
You saved yourself a lot of pain. I know, because I did both.
The fact that it's always way easier to complete domination than the supposedly shorter main campaign is FUN.
By the Way, Anarieon (I Think I Misspelled that, Sorry) is ripped straight from lord of the rings, Where he is Elendil’s son (and Isildur’s Brother)
It's just a name. If you want to be more specific about what they took inspiration from LoTR then you would clearly see how Aenarion is an amalgamation between Fëanor and Fingolfin.

The orld is not doomed if the Horny God of Skaven gets released. That's what the Hight Elves believe.
