shame this wasn't continued...

it seems like the cost of the gamer ability is that you get pulled into the sort of random encounters you'd expect in a game, it's almost the sort of thing that would make one try and live in isolation as to not hurt the ones around you.

shame that our hero doesnt have access to the extradimensional inventory that a lot of players get

well, I doubt that arthas could ask for a better mentor when it comes to archery at least

well, its good that he's learning not to trust his would be mentor I suppose.

nice job showing the limitations of the gamer ability as well as it's strengths

and so our hero discovers the critical hit, though he hasn't quite recognized it yet.

I suspect that Kel'Thuzad is a gamer too based on how he wrote about magic.

well, it looks like the gamer king is something of a sociopath, props to arthas for not forgetting that npcs are still people.

I dont know enough of the warcraft lore to recognise this guy, is he a self insert?

I wonder is this Perenolde guy just recognised the gamer thing?

well, the persuade skill might be a thing, but arthas certainly has a measure of charisma even without it.

it's probably for the best that there is no equivalent to the "charisma" stat, that can be uncomfortably similar to mind control in some takes on the whole gamer thing.

props to our hero for talking about his new condition, hopefully he'll end up a different sort of crazy than he goes in canon

One hell of a cliffhanger to leave this on for 2 whole years...
