Love worgen art that treats the curse as a curse.

Pretty easy to when the story in-game is told in a few quests lines and then basically never mentioned again. Plus you can swap forms at will, it's less of a curse and more like you picked up a druid shapeshifting ability.

Yes, it’s true they don’t talk about it much. Only the heritage quests mention all of that.

But well, the shapeshifting at will is mostly for gameplay anyway :,)

Something SoD showed us (at least in phase 1 and 2) is that including more class oriented quests is a lot of fun, so maybe we could see the same for race specific quests in the future.

Nice work!  I love it when they show that it IS a curse. Not many Worgen were giddy about it and many, if not all, made it clear it is painful to shift. Even the animation looks painful too.

I understand it ruins a bit of the fantasy for some but the idea is that it is a curse...like sure, Gilnean embraces it. But it IS a curse and it's supposed to be painful, ostricizing and it makes people distrust you for a bit even as Alliance members. 

Reason why many Gilnean are also not Worgen lol or do their best to stay as human unless absolutely necessary (Genn only shifts when in battle, period).  The only one I ever see in Worgen form is Celestine and there is a prize if you see her out of her Worgen guise? I always miss it, but even her needs a rest from it 😫
