my theory, regarding the muradin revival issue..

[jorj_31392]

well many warcraft fans freaked out when muradin got on WOW.. i mean.. is blizzard crazy?

on the other side.. maybe gamers just didnt get this part right: to free the runeblede frostmourne, a soul must be sacrificed right? though its not mentioned whom...

i think it is Arthas soul. arthas got corrupted, LK gets controll of him when he wielded frostmourne.. ultimately the arthas in him vanished the moment he became LK..

am i missing something?

You are not making sense at all.

He says that Arthas's soul was sacrifice and that Muradin was just knocked hard by ice and not actual sacrifice. But then again ice hitting him at that speed would kill him and I am sure that Arthas would notice if he was still alive.

My theory: Blizzard needed more lore characters in WoW.

 

[VeljkoM]

More? They already had so many. Some of them like Muradin should have been dead.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

They already had so many.

That's not what Blizzard was thinking.

 

[VeljkoM]

Still they could use "alive" or new people. But just like to resurrect great heroes because of their past.

Happened between Baldur's Gate 1 and part 2 too, when the player (you) come across a certain person in BG2 you really recalled been killed in part BG1.

Wiki says:
Several characters from the first game make a comeback, some of which are NPCs who can (re)join the player's party. These are Imoen (who has become dual classed to a Mage/Thief), Minsc, Jaheira, Edwin and Viconia. Because Baldur's Gate II does not check the status of these characters at the end of the first game, they appear even if they perished in the course of the previous adventure. The designers make light of this, often prompting the player character to ask: "Aren't you dead?" – which can be disconcerting, if they did not die – if they survived, the player is given the opportunity to ask the ubiquitous "Can you remember me?", which often gives the much needed excuse to fill in backstory and give new players a sense of what has gone before. Also, the game assumes that the six-person party at the end of the game included the main protagonist, Imoen, Minsc, Dynaheir, Jaheira, and Khalid.

This whole Muradin revival issue fits in the mentioned section.

 

[VeljkoM]

So it is a cliche and not even original.

 

[jorj_31392]

i dont get it.. blizzard could just make something like an explanation about the "dead to alive" issue. i dont know why they are not making a move to clear things out

 

[VeljkoM]

Well there is a short cin where Muradin stands up after 5 min without consciousness and says:"Who am I?"

 

[Biggrouse]

i don't really care.. he just got hit by a sharp piece of ice and it didn't even look like he was impaled

 

[Crazy Cow]

Well, it's not like Warcraft 3 was very detailed about it. You see Muradin fall over after Frostmourne bursts from the ice. Anything could have happened, including Muradin getting a concussion or having his memory wiped by dark magic. Arthas wasn't exactly the most sane person alive back then, and a rock-shaped cut on Muradin's forehead bleeding tremendously (which head wounds do) might have been enough to convince him. Arthas wasn't exactly sad about Muradin dying, either, so maybe he didn't even care enough to check.

in the arthas book he was impaled, and was bleeding, not sure if impaled, but definitely bleeding, then arthas started to cry and feel sorry or some shit.

 

[NhazUl]

“Muradin!”
The impact of the ice shard had knocked the dwarf back several feet. Now he lay sprawled on the cold stone floor, a spear of ice impaling his midsection, the blood sluggishly flowing around it. His eyes were closed and he was limp.

He was bleeding, definitely.

 

[Mulgrim]

he is badass, what does the scouter say about his power level?

 

[NhazUl]

Who, Arthas? I'd say he's a badasshole.
