Warcraft's opening quote: "Welcome to the World of Warcraft." Seriously epic foreshadowing.

Sir, by making this, you have done such a great service to Warcraft lore enthusiasts. Thank you so much!

Lorewise, Kalimdor was undiscovered at that point, so since their "known world" consisted of just the Eastern Kingdoms, it might make sense for them to refer to that large gulf west of Khaz Modan as a great sea (or a part of the great sea that they hadn't yet fully explored). Gameplay-wise, it was the only in-game sea back then (and the name makes it sound exciting for the people waiting to play a game which introduces naval warfare to the franchise :) ).

The music in WC3 and WoW Vanillia really played a big part in setting the tone. The campaign maps where small, but the music gave me the impression of how vast and ancient the world is.

I can perfectly imitate the Orc narrator in Warcraft 2. It’s fun to read along. It’s even more fun to have the music playing without the audio, and narrate it myself.

2:31:54 my second-favorite bit of dialogue in the whole series ("the traitor king!" "who, me?" "they were referring to me, death knight" is my favorite). The foreshadowing here, the descent into madness, Arthas is already blinded by his ambition. Chills run up my spine hearing it.

@@AnMComm I worded it poorly. I was saying that the bit at 2:31:54, "this howling wind cuts to the bone, and you're not even shaking. My lord, are you all right?" as foreshadowing. It's my second favorite line of dialogue in the series, maybe my second.

I've no idea when I first watched this video, but it's time to do it again. It's been so long I'm alway from Warcraft lore that all the nostalgia just came back and I feel the need to consume it all. Thank you!

Thank you very much for this. I started with Warcraft III only to play DotA. Then moved on to WoW but never really grasped the lore. This was very entertaining and the next time I play WoW I will appreciate the game even more.

I like to imagine some kind of Hawk trying to capture Medivh while he is in crow form.

Something I kinda miss about the Alliance that was in Warcraft 2 was how, although warriors of light and the good guys, they could be just as merciless and vicious as the Horde. They would put Orc heads on pikes, minor peasant uprisings were met by the blades of the knights, they razed the capital of Alterac to the ground with no mercy, and they were a very desperate alliance of nations that didnt really get along united only to fight off the Horde. Stormgarde and Gilneas left the Alliance shortly after victory lol.

I’ve watched your Warcraft game movies a few times now. Even over the years where others have created them, this is still the best version on YT. Thank you.

To think Murlocs were actually threatening at one point.Hah.

i remember feeling feeling pity for arthas when i was playing warcraft, how his too much good intentions brought about by his responsibility as a prince turn him into evil. such a tragedy.

a talented, young dude who wanted good, but the temptation of a dark force was too much for him. A bit familiar... For me, Arthas was a special guy from the very 1st minute. In my mother tongue, "Ártasz" (familiar pronunciation) means "you hurt (us, some1, etc)" Foreshadowing at its finest

I like the way that zombie arthas regards his former paladins so little that he declines to even talk back to most of them.

I really wish they would make another Warcraft installment. These were my favorite games growing up and I still play wc2 with friends quite a bit.

I never played Orcs and Humans, but I remember the old Warcraft II games on Mac that I had with my brother and friends that lasted up to or in some cases over 3 hours sometimes on Garden of War. Everyone sending peons / peasants to start small bases both to take the goldmines and to start cutting into the centre mine...Of course a lot of times it devolved into spamming sappers / demolition teams and sending them in to clear the path. And if I recall correctly, Gold Mines actually had health and you could destroy them, though it was hardly worth the effort attacking the mines because of the insane amount of health they had.

Thank you for making these videos, I finally understand the story of the game I've played for years, and now look forward to actually being involved in the storyline of WoD.

I love what you did with the maps and the camera panning, prior to each game. Bravo!

I've watched this two part video on the entirety of the Warcraft universe (up to that point) at least 4 times before and now I will begin the 5th. Gods I'm such a nerd. Still, it's excellent background fodder to keep myself on task when writing up DnD materials and in need of a fantasy focused mind.

A truely mastered idea from you, something what many people have beem wishing a some time. I have always been interested about the lore as long as i have been playing the game series, coz i started at vanilla, i never have been getting the real whole story what i have been wanting. tried to read, watch some lore videos one from that and one from there, it didnt give me the whole picture of the story. Now i got the story of warcrafts start, characters, everything what i was wishing a long time. THANK you from your great work, nicely edited, completed and mastered a video, what will be come as a legend.

BRO i was planing to play WARCRAFT 1,2,3 , just becouse for the storys in World of Warcraft but u make my life better, cheers!!!

Warcraft 1 and 2 - those are always going to be the best in this franchise for me. I love everything about how they were written, yes simple from a modern perspective - yet so much more interesting. The art style was also far better.

dude, you´re my hero. Thank you very much for putting all these amazing material together. Now anyone can enjoy the fantastic lore of Warcraft without having to spend weeks playing the games.

This is so nice man! Thanks for uploading this.

I can't imagine how long it must have taken you to make it.

i remember when i first played warcraft 3 Reign of Chaos back when it was first released, i was simply amazed by the quality of the cinematics! it all looked very realistic to the standard then. And the music was so epic! Plus the storyline, it was easily one of my favorite games in Warcraft franchise.

Very well made, thank you

This is epic. Nice work

Thx so much for this video. It helped me a lot

Amazing stories.. Amazing scenes Best 4 hours of lore about games. ever

2:45:30 It really is an outstanding moment. The shocking betrayal, Arthas' dialogue, it's delivery, even the graphics of the time, how it was edited. They made such a leap from Warcraft II.

01:41:30 It still give me chills...

i hope you do, this vid is awesome, but i never was much of an mmo player so i really dont know too much about what happened since frozen throne. the entire lore in one (ok, 2) vids is really cool. tnx for taking the time to do this!

Good day, the story is unbelievably long and complex. Jumping straight into WoW without all this knowledge makes it appear a confusing mess of a storyline, which it is not. Although I found it a little too late, as I already watched other gameplays of Warcraft II and always skipped to the story parts, I thank you for this video! It might be helpful as a story recap in the future. P.S. That's a great name for a KZread channel.

This is awesome and brings a fuck ton of memories... i remember being 8 years playing this.... now 26... still in love with warcraft :)

Although earlier games completely miss triggered events and in-game conversations, I would have liked a few glimpses of action from those missions too. Nice video nonetheless!

Cool cut scenes in W3

"Welcome to the World of Warcraft" on the intro to Warcraft 1... MIND BLOWN!

I loved the tides of Darkness. Those Death Knights were awesome. I wish they would keep the game the same yet have it run on modern systems! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Nerzul was not a death knight. Nerzul was the mentor of guldan. He became the lich king or jailor of the damned because of the pact between him and the burning legion. The scourge was born in icecrown and spread through eastern kingdom to make way for the invasion of the burning legion. It was supposed to weaken the defenses of azeroth

Ner'zhul escaped through one of the portals he opened, but found Kil'jaeden and a Doomguard welcoming party on the other side. The demons captured him, forced him to cooperate and turned him into a ghost animating a suit of armor frozen into ice.
