How did you feel about Dawntrail? (Spoiler thread) (lemmy.world)

It’s now been about a month (somehow) since Dawntrail launched, so I assume most of us have finished the MSQ, and I’m curious about your thoughts!

For me, I actually really enjoyed not being the center of attention the whole time. It was a nice palette cleanser from the last ten years. It was fun to tag along see this whole new continent. Of course, things do end up getting more serious than that, and I was impressed they were able to get me to care about all these new people so quickly.

The new dungeons and group content all felt good. I liked that none of it seemed to be pushovers, and myself and my friends died several times figuring out the various boss battles — which is a good thing!

I just finished the story last night so I’m now at the point where there are some new quests which I assume will open up some new content. So I have no opinion there yet.

But what about you all?

Moment to moment, I wasn't too upset about many of the story beats, but you raise some good points as I think back on it.

I was disappointed that Krile's story was just kind of there and then wrapped up so quick. I thought for sure we'd spend a few hours with her parents or something, or even get more info about Galuf (though I wouldn't be surprised if that's coming on later).

I really assumed the contest would be MOST of the expansion.
