Bought Reforged for the new campaign, ended up being blown away by the Custom WC2 campaign
I loved the prologue campaign but I found the actual Forsaken campaign to be a bit... much? Like sure it's a good iteration of the Rexxar campaign but the maps were too big, a lot of repetitive objectives and not enough QoL (like teleporting around areas you visitted would've been a godsend, I legitimately had to look up "-nowfpause" because it was becoming so god damn tedious with the walks, so I could at least do something else while tabbed out, BUT ANYWAYS, first I decided to give the WC3 Origins campaign (the one that is basically a retelling/reimagining of the WC1 campaigns) and that was... decent? Can appreciate it and I did have fun with a decent chunk of the missions, but wow did I not expect such an absurd level of passion and quality from Chronicles of the Second War: Tides of Darkness, it's genuinely everything I wanted and more. Such a well made, well directed campaign, with some genuinely good voice acting as well.
I do wonder what sort of Warcraft 3-esque custom campaigns I could've potentially been missing out on? I remember there's this youtuber who loves to play RTS games and their mods/custom campaigns and I remember seeing him play some unique campaigns back in the day, but been a minute.
