    OK, i just borrowed Warcraft 3 off of a mate, and ive now completed it on normal, and i noticed there are many incomplete videos and plot holes, is this just becuase i did it on normal, and if i comleted it on hard, would i get the complete story, or is it becuase my friend gave me a dodgy copy that didnt install properly as the CD is to scratched.

    ****SPOILER****
    One expample is that you never find out what happened to The prince after the whole thing had finished

    The fate of Prince Arthas is fully accounted for in the expansion, The Frozen Throne. So are the destinies of Illidan, the Moon Elves, the High Elves, Sylvanas (the Elf Ranger you slay in the Undead Campaign) and the shattered remnants of the Alliance of Lordaeron.

    But at that point the game is already rather repetitive. You cannot seriously claim it to be "tactically diverse" game... :nolike:

    Ok, but another plot hole i noticed is that you never see what Furion's plan was, all it showed was the Lich King approaching the tree, and Furion saying that victory was assured, then the video cuts to the credits.

    I have no idea what you're talking about. Furion's plan is revealed in a cutscene:

    Archimonde reaches the world tree and is swarmed by wisps and dies or something like that. Seriously. (It was a dissapointing ending)

    Oh yeah, that reminds me that I actually missed some parts of the plot due to bad sound files.

    First of all, none of the plot changes if you beat it in hard mode.

    At the end of the credits on normal mode, it says you get another ending for beating it in hard mode, but I saw no difference whatsoever. Is it just me?

    As for the plot holes, can someone fill me in on what happens after Illidan took the skull and killed that Tichon---rus guy? The cutscene at the end of that mission fails on me...

    The different ending on beating it on hard doesn't change the way the game turns out, it changes the credits. You get a cutscene of Starcraft in 3D with marines and orcs in spacesuits and the like. Oh, and at the end of that, he becomes half-demon from it. It's fully explained in the expansion.
