So the last 5 hours i chucked in my old wc2 tides of darkness cd and played thru the orc campaign, I passed the orc campaign, and im 90% sure but just checking, the orc campaign isnt at all lore right? And the human campaign is? Also, ive never played thru the expansion nor do i have it, is that worth playing? Also, what campaign in that one is consider lore?

Let me know =] thanks.

They are both lore I think, just that only one of the ending is cannon.
I hate the post below mine because it feels War3-ish.

By 'lore' I assume you mean 'canon'.

All of Warcraft is butchered. Warcraft has its own story, Warcraft 2 has its own story, and Warcraft 3 + WoW have its own story. They sort of follow each other, but every time Blizzard makes a sequel they arbitrarily ignore certain parts of the story or pretend like certain other parts did exist for their own purposes.

Just one of the reasons I hated WC3 and WoW, WC2 was so awesome.

oh yeah, i mean part of whatever is considered the story that follows onto the expansion and onto wc3.

Btw, i thought WoW was pretty accurate to Wc3 except for the random dranei fuckup that happened?

The only way to incorporate the orc campain into warcraft history is if you count only part of it which could have happened before the human campain. AFAIK Dalaran and Lorderon never fell to the orcs during the second war.

Beyond the dark portal is even more weird because in the orc campain you recapture Alexstraza the dragon queen although the artifact that imprisoned her, the Demon soul, was destroyed when she was rescued the first time and the red dragons were only to loyal to orcs because they had their queen. But on the other hand Nez'zhul had to find the Book of Mediev to open up all those gates in Draenor.

Also, does anyone know what the go is with gul'dan opening the daemons tomb thing, and why does he have all the daemons around him when u kill him in the orc 3rd last level? from wc3 i thought he died in sargaras tomb because of sargaras, so obviously the last 3 levels of orc campaign, none are considered wc history?

Shit like this happens with any game really, Just check out Capcom's Final Fight and SF series. Shit is absurrddddddddddd.

The Common theme is that stuff that happens in old games that is contradicted later was "just a dream", a "what if" scenario, or just "overridden by sequel".

I doubt anyone will check this again, but after reading the wow site, it seems that everything in the orc campaign of wc2 happened except the last 2 levels (killing dalaran and lorderon.) the third last level sort of happened.... The horde did fight against gul'dan and the clans he was with, defeating them, but it wasnt the horde who killed gul'dan, it was daemons in sargaras' tomb or some shit...

That was changed later on. Much of the WC1 and WC2 plots got changed by WC3 or WoW. Guldan got mauled to death by demons after he opened the tomb and went in.

In WC1, most of the Orc Campaign, and its ending is canon. Only parts of the human campaign were. In WC2, just about all of the Human Campaign is cannon. Alot of the Orc Campaign is too, except towards the end. The Orcs did go into Quelthalas or w/e, they did attack Lordaeron itself, its just eventually, when Guldan betrays the Horde, the Alliance starts a counter attack and ends up winning.
