Oh don't be that guy. WoW is certainly not the first game to have different starting areas.

People just thought that your origins would impact more. Turns out they didn't, except for the final decision and some conversation choices, and how a few plot relevant characters treated you. That was Bioware's attempt at the gimmick, and it failed.

But now what was one of the few "Create your OWN character, choose a race, etc, fantasy RPG's is just turning into another Mass Effect/The Witcher Combo. Hell, on consoles, might as well add Fable as an illegitimate father due to the hack and slashing.

Unrelated, I do find myself excited for Fable 3. But that's another topic entirely.
