The leader of the Blood Elves in World of Warcraft has been revamped. For some, Lor’themar now has the best model in the entire game.
Patch 8.1 Waves of Revenge has been live for a few days and brought players many new contents, such as the Warfront: Darkshore or new missions of the War Campaign. However, a few small changes that get lost in the mass are particularly appreciated by players.
One of them is the new model of Lor’themar Theron, the leader of the Blood Elves.
New model after a decade: Lor’themar finally got his own, unique model in the game after more than 11 years.
Here, much more detail can be seen. His eye patch is gone, revealing the blind eye which is distinctly different from the other eye that is still infused with Fel magic. Apparently, he also has quite a fondness for earrings, as there seem to be several on each side.
In general, the model with the new clothing is very impressive and fits perfectly with a slightly arrogant species like the Sin’dorei.
More physics than other characters: Particularly noticeable about the new model is that Blizzard has incorporated a lot of physics. Not only does the main hair of the fashion-conscious elf sway with every movement, but the fabric of his clothing is also playfully tossed around in the air when he rotates.
But even smaller details, like his chin beard, wiggle a bit with each movement. Such physics is usually only known from female characters in Dead or Alive.
Lor’themar could become important: It is also interesting to see the overhaul of his character itself. Traditionally, Blizzard only gives characters a makeover when they are about to play an important role in the story of World of Warcraft shortly thereafter.
Blood Elf fans can therefore hope that their people will soon step more into the spotlight. Perhaps when it comes to the succession for the position of Warchief…
What do you think of Lor’themar’s new model? Should players also get as many physics details as the leader of the Blood Elves? Or is this just fitting for such a self-loving people, that the leader crowns it all?
Another small change that brings joy is the absurd fidget spinner in World of Warcraft.
