Quest spoilers, but

I was suggested to post this on PTR so I’m doing that. Take it as you will.

So this is admittedly something I’m not really the type to generally care about, because fantasy is fantasy.

But there is a particular quest on PTR that I kind of feel like went under the radar and it’s uncomfortable enough that even I was taken a bit back by it.

Part of the 10.1.5 patch quest lines is side quests to go fix the timeline and do the work of Bronze Dragons.

One of those quests has us go back in time and find the Dragon Soul and give it back to the Dragonmaw orcs because they lost it and Alexstraza would escape.

We go back, find the Soul, and “fix” the timeline. The fix, of course, involving the player character sentencing one of the major female characters to SA and forced breeding by the Orcs.

Which is bad enough.

And then Alexstraza shows up at the end of the quest in modern times, and justifies it. She’s angry, obviously, but the end note of “Yeah, sentencing me to being raped over to give kids was actually a good thing” is just not something I can see Blizzard approving.

Which is bad enough.

Except the quest text from Chromie is presented as a semi-comedic “hehe we shouldn’t tell her about this” type quest.

I cannot see a world where this made it through Blizzard, so I’m just posting here to hope it gets seen and addressed. No harm, no foul. PTR is PTR.

If it is intended… Eesh…
