after reading more about Aggra, I've changed my opinion of her, and I'm sure they will make a fine couple.Meh, still a massive shoe horn.Oh yes, quite definitely. Before I realized that her character wasn't already in the game, I thought she was Matron Drakia (as in, I couldn't remember Drakia's name and I thought Aggra was her). Once I realized she was a completely new character, I let out an audible sigh.

Heh, Golden 'tried' to hard with her, but again, guess that's because she didn't have the time skips like she did for Durotan and Draka, and Turalyon and Alleria(though, I still say that was more Rosenburg then her)....She needs to not write romance heh, she's not very good at it.

That said? Aggra will pretty much have to be Dhalua Strong with tusks. I'm not sure how much faith I have in Blizzard's story people to
write
a Dhalua, but there you have it.

Agreed...but when Knaak and Rosenburg write it better......I don't much think so. I wasn't able to muscle myself far enough into WotA to see any romance, but what I read in Stormrage made me gag.
And Rosenburg isn't
bad
at romance, but his stories are mostly boring, expect for a few particular points.

Was referring to Rhonin and Vereesa and Turalyon and Alleria, compared to those 'power' couples, Thrall and Aggra are very very very shoe horned in, and done almost 'just because' then for any 'true' reason.
And they both do it better then Golden, sorry to say heh....well, personal opinion anyways.

Rhonin and Vereesa didn't have any romance, from what I read. She was just his magical special half-elf baby-making machine.
And I suppose Turalyon and Alleria were okay, but they only had like a page of actual relationship.

It was built better then Thrall and Aggra with R&V; they started the same, but over the course of the book, started to care about each other.

Warning! Tropes!note to self: reserach who's dhalua strong.Dhalua Strong, from the
Tom Strong
comics, is what happens when the tough "jungle princess" character settles down and gets "civilized"
without losing her cred
. She's a "
badass normal
" who's married to someone clearly superhuman, but manages to not particularly be overshadowed by his awesome.
That help?
