Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne Intro

[Death]

"Sometimes, the hand of fate must be forced"

[Evangelion]

Old, good and original blizzard 😢. And when you see what they've become today...
Rest in peace, old friend! You were legendary!

[OmegaSoypreme]

I still remember the first time I played this and saw this cinematic. I was wearing some really badass noise cancelling headphones with amazing bass, and I had cranked the volume right up because Illidan was talking a bit softly at the start. Then the thunder crashed and the music started blasting and nearly took my head off. And it was awesome!

[ElBandito]

Illidan had attempted to save the world many times since 10, 000 years ago, but always get scorned in the end. Poor guy.

[CynicalGamingBlogTerry]

Even today, this game's cinematics give me goosebumps.

[Britishwolf]

truth it was I who was betrayed.
Still i am i am hated. Now my blind eyes see what others cannot.
That sometimes, the hand of fate must be FORCED!

Still gives me chills!

[effygin]

When illidan said "Betrayer, in truth it was i who was betrayed". i felt that.

[rantanen]

Illidan is by far my favorite warcraft character ever..

[valen.barreiro]

"...And some times, the hand of fate must be FORCED!"
15 years later, in Legion... he bring Argus to Azeroth and say the same phrase... some things never change :')

[sootmancer]

i love that he makes a little smirk at the end.. not very often do we see Illidan with a smile

[Highestnugg]

"Sometimes the hand of fate must be forced"
Exactly what he said after killing Kil'jaeden

[knowingtoomuch]

The best cinematic introduction for a game, ever !!

[sebastjansslavitis]

illidan in warcraft 3 was so much better than in wow. I liked this very idea that he was so controlled, with this calm voice and beautiful speech, it give him very pleased character. And then in Burning Crusade he appears like some monster, with green burning eyes, torn wings and sharp teeth... so disgusting
was it really necessary?

'' What have you done ?! '' - khadgar
'' Sometimes the hand of fate must be forced '' - Illidan

[gregoriusbima]

I'M STILL WAITING FOR WARCRAFT IV

[ilaoandrew]

The naga's in cinematic is way scarier to look than the game

[someone-wixl]

the hand of fate ACTUALLY being forced now in 7.2.5 .. he did it .. the absolute madman :D

[There-is-a-Squirrel]

These cinematics still gives me chills to this day. Masterpieces

[royroci]

This opening alone can lead to dozens of different epic storylines.

damn it illidan that was the perfect time to shout:
