Westfall
is a World of Warcraft Fan Game made for the purpose of adding Multiple Endings to the eponymous WoW zone. Originally posted in 2020, the game eventually covered most of the original zone's plot by 2024, as well as adding several branches where the player can get results that are much better than in the original zone…or much worse.
Westfall contains examples of:
- Ambiguously Evil: On certain paths, the player can be this.
- Anyone Can Die: Many paths that the player can take involve killing off characters without much notice, important and unimportant alike. At least half of the cast can die depending on the player's actions (though usually not all on the same path).
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: Captain Alpert outright states that a piece of in-game propaganda is a reference to the Communist Manifesto, then goes on to ruminate on whether or not Karl Marx is a murloc before returning to giving the player exposition.
- The Ditz: Captain Alpert. Also Tina Skyden, though her ditziness is Downplayed in comparison to Alpert's.
- Deadpan Snarker: Private Jackson. Alpert is not amused.Alpert: Private Jackson, please keep your mouth closed while we discuss important matters of spelling.
- Dope Slap: The player can do this to Laine after he cracks a joke about the Furlbrows' murder.
- Dude, Not Funny!: One possible reaction to the above joke (preceded by the above Dope Slap).
- Eating Solves Everything: As C'Thun, your only goal is to "huqth sknaus", which involves eating someone or something improbable.
- Eating the Enemy: Again, as C'Thun, the player is repeatedly encouraged to eat Laine.
- Eldritch Abomination: C'Thun again.
- Extreme Omnivore: Still C'Thun.
- Fake Defector: The player, despite starting out allied with Stormwind, can join (or just pretend to want to join) the Defias, then use the player's knowledge of the Defias gleaned from this to bring down the Defias and gain a victory for Stormwind. This can be Conversed with one of Alpert's men, who questions the player's loyalty to Stormwind, though this is promptly dismissed by Alpert as implausible.
- Genius Ditz: Captain Alpert. He knows enough history to brief the player on all kinds of things concerning the Defias and the like, but frequently can't remember said history and is otherwise a moron. This can be alluded to by Laine before the player even meets Alpert in the first place (or at all, depending on the player's choices).
- The Hero Dies: Many of the endings are this. One such ending [[Lampshading Lampshades]] this, informing the player of that the hero dies "again".
- Knightly Sword and Shield: The player utilizes both a sword and a shield for offense and defense. Zigzagged, however, as the player doesn't have to act knightly (but frequently can).
- Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: The player has a shield and can use it to stave off otherwise-lethal attacks (as well as for bashing enemies).
- The Mole: Jimb. He's secretly in league with the Defias and plotting to kill Lou, but you can go through the whole game without ever finding out.
- Only Sane Man: Private Jackson in Southern Town of Idiocy. Also Tina Skyden in that same chapter, though this is Downplayed what with her also being The Ditz.
- Pun: One ending concludes with the player "expiring". The button to restart the game is labelled "get a later expiration date".
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: One of the earliest game endings involves the player getting fed up with Laine and leaving the zone entirely.
- Shield Bash: The player's shield can be used to knock enemies unconscious while simultaneously defending them.
- Shout-Out: Southern Town of Idiocy is full of these.
- One of the options when fighting the thugs in Moonbrook is "Hit them very hard."
- In response to the player offering to go easy on them, the thugs may say that nobody goes easy on them except on Sunday mornings.
- The player can also tell the thugs that they want to go home and rethink their lives.
- There are also a few of these in other chapters, including tripping a chain, things working with or without somebody, a paraphrased version of the entire first verse of In Your Eyes, and nothing else mattering, followed by numerous references to the artists in question.
- Soapbox Sadie: Vanessa. Very, very frequently.
- Welcome to Westfall.
