Reached the Alliance Campaign and hearing "Yes my lord" in the exact same cadence as the first game makes me feel all warm and comfy inside.

I replayed this game last month and couldn't believe how well it holds up. Very fun and challenging.

After beating Diablo 1 a few months months ago, I was able to finish another Nightmare of my Childhood Warcraft 2! This last Human-mission was though as nails.
