You can hear this cinematic in WoW when you walk into the Undercity, turn every sound off except the music and stand in the throne room, you can see the blood on the ground there and roses on the ground of the way that leads to it over the bridge. Funny how much detail they put into the game when It first was released and most people don't even know about it.

Warcraft lore seemed more elaborate before, right? I'm not saying that now it isn't because I've lost track of it since the beginning of WoD, but the fact that they "have" to release games more often makes me feel that Blizzard has lost some inspiration. Maybe it is just me and my inevitable aging.

@@elmillo10 no I think it's agreed blizzard storytelling has kinda gone off the rails, especially in WoD when there was time travel and alternate timelines and shit. It was far more cohesive in their hayday. Warcraft 3 story will always be best IMO, arthas' and the humans lore especially.

There is 480p version on collectors edition DVD. Blizzard probably still has the master renders of all these in 2K or 4K resolutions. Tho even if you look for 480p ones from DVD on yt, you will see a bit of improvement, especially in last cinematic of RoC....you actually can see the movement of human, orcish and nelven armies and a kodo beast walking through on DVD when medivh looks over them but ingame in 360p its just a sludge that looks like the rest of the forest. In 2K we may see the detail and make out individual people in that scene. Same with crowds greeting Arthas here.

Back when I was a child, I had no concept of heroes who could become corrupted, twisted or turn to evil. Especially 'holy' warriors like Paladins. So when I saw this cutscene I thought I had won the game. After all, our hero returned home and was greeted with applause. I thought indeed that I had triumphed. Until I saw how pale Arthas' face was and my 8 year old mind sonehow realized something was TERRIBLY wrong. Que me having nightmares of becoming the very evil I had spent the entire previous campaign fighting against.

It made me cry a little. That's how good the visuals are, even abstracted from their context. 2) Unmentioned in any other comments here is the scene in Hellboy 2 which is an hommage to this. 3) Odd thought: I always imagined that Arthas saw that rose petal in black and white.

I like to go to that exact place in WoW, the entrance to Undercity. Where the bell crashed down you can hear distant sounds of the bells ringing like a reminder of when Arthas walked down that hallway. In the throne room if you turn off the music and listen carefully you can hear faint distorted voices of lines from this cinematic, the voices of Arthas and his father talking just before the murder. A lot of people who play WoW but haven't played this don't understand how creepy and cool that is.

Arthas was a Holy Paladin of Lorderon. On his journy he came across a sword called Frostmourne, it was the sword of the Lich King. By takin up this sword he killed his friend Muradin Bronzebeard and went insane. He was chosen by the lich king to bear the sword, he becomes the Unholy Knight of the Scourge. WC3 Frozen Throne ends with Arthas returning the sword to the frozen throne after killing Illidan and fusing himself with the lich king. Loderon is 'Not' Stormwind.

Yeah he wasn't the one who fought against him but I only meant that Arthas wields a sword which is a part of The Lich King, (so technically Ner'zhul did defeated Illidan but then again it was only a part of his soul, the part that's in the sword so he partially defeated him...) so what I meant was that aside the power Arthas himself wielded when he fought Illidan he also had a part of Ner'zhul's power and because Ner'zhul is way more powerful then Illidan...well, that kinda helped.
