I feel like a HUGE opportunity for amazing storytelling was pretty much missed here. Some cool visuals, but otherwise a lackluster sendoff.

I would love some mod abuse to fix my typo in the header: "Wille"

I think the missions were well-designed enough, but lacked the effort into storytelling that DA, by comparison, had. I didn't feel overly compelled by the story, and the blandness of the final fights seemed to make Statesman and Psyche's "deaths" worthless - for all that power,
Spoiler!


I don't give a fuck about what plot device justifies it, a
Spoiler!
made the fight seem... well... STANDARD and boring.

The only thing that tickled me was seeing
Spoiler!
At least they did let us finish the fight ourselves, with or without help.

I'm sure some of you are grinning that my fanboyish lost its shine on this. But I guess my expectations were too damn high for something as epic as Rularuu.

I keep looking to the horizons on this, though. Rularuu's return will most definitely be Incarnate Content, which means, hopefully, that story will surpass DA in terms of execution.

Fixed the typo.

Have not had a chance to play the arc yet.

New DA content has hit it out the park for me.

Adding spoiler tags!

Oh and I added quotes to "deaths" because I think they left a door open a crack for some low-grade Jean Grey type of return of States and Psyche.

I agree with you Red that compared to the DA Arc this one lacked. But I still enjoyed it and liked several of the new environments it intorduced. I agree, Rulu-Wade should have been stronger but I got the impression we weakened him by destroying the items.

And finally, Captain Mako proves that he is not worthless. I liked that little bit.

Haven't done #7 yet, but... I think the map design has basically been the best aspect of all of these things. And pretty much everything else since Going Rogue. They made the map designer lead dev and suddenly we get an insanely pretty game, lol.
