Even our content creators cannot pretend to like the trashy writings of Dawntrail.

It's less that she played the Harry Potter game, and more the reason she did. She saw the "Did they Stream that Wizard Game" site and said "Yeah that's my cue to play the game, never mind the fact that I'm actively funding someone whose ideals I claim to disagree with" when if she had just not chosen to play the game, literally nothing would have come of it. She could even criticise the site for all I care.

Don't need a twitch stream. Her twitter is more than enough of a grift already lmao.

Wrong, actually. Most of us don't hate religions. Most of us have a dislike towards Christianity because of the horrible things it's been used to justify over the past thousand years.

Though even then, I don't have a dislike towards Christianity, just certain denominations (for example; American Evangelicals/Fundamentalists)

Also no. I don't believe Zepla should be burnt on a stake or anything. I just don't find her worth listening to because I think she's a shitty person. I'm not saying this should hold true for others. I'm merely posting my own opinion of her.

Anyone watching Preach (I'm not atm) got any highlight of his reviews of what is currently happening in DT MSQ? Last I saw is a clip of him reacting to English Wuk Lamat's speech at the balcony of the palace, after dragging the WoL up there. Is he warming up to it, souring more or keeping a neutral view point until he has all the cards in his hands on completion?

He is 50:50 about it.
It had stuff he liked and stuff he hated.
He hated the pacing
Wuk Lamat has far too much spotlight and the sidelining of the scions annoys him. He was frustrated with it.
He liked the scene with Kriles parents (the flashback)

You can watch it all here at the 5:23:50 mark (when the credits beginn).
There he more or less gives a short summary of his.

I don't know why she's malding - the story wasn't that bad.
Some things didn't make sense but we can hope for explanations in post-patch content, at least for most of it.
(Regulators are pretty dumb, for example, and the cosmic horror of server engineering known as Living Memory can be chalked up to the stupidity of the ancient Alexandrians rather than writing)

You're right. It was worse.

Thank you! and for providing a timestamp, I shall definitely give that a watch.

Sounds like he was fair enough with his conclusion and I personally would think more than fair is 50:50 but opinions differ naturally.

This is why people accuse the defenders of the story of "copium". They had 30 fucking hours to tell a decent, even a middling story. Through which most of us kept powering through with similar copium, like "okay, slow start, but surely now it will pick up?"

To my shame, by hour 15, I hadn't called out the writing yet, not fully. But it's shit writing, and no additional content is going to change that at this point.

I just finished reading the first book of a series. It took me two weeks to complete at about 20-25 hours invested. Thankfully that book was great and I am now reading the second book. If that book had been awful, I would not be reading the second book. Dawntrail, for all intents and purposes, is the first book of a new arc.

I am getting exasperated at the "It's the start of a new arc, it's ok to be bad" argument. I'm sure we all are. It's not even reasonable enough to constitute being 'an argument' What it is, is a juvenile coping method of trying to defend a product you can't make a proper case to protect, you'd rather brush off all reasonable criticism as if the critics do not understand. Which is your make believe reasoning that Dawntrail is free from criticism until further notice.

Dawntrail is a full product, released to customers after years of development. If you are going to sit there and tell me, Square Enix worked on this under the assumption that it was OK to churn something such poor quality because they were immune due to one Yoshi-P quote, tell me. I hope you hear how ridiculous you sound while doing so.

Listen, I have seen some hot-ass garbage in my time - and Dawntrail is hardly the worst thing I've ever seen. It's not "great" or even "that good", but it isn't the Second Coming of My Immortal like some people seem to reckon.

But you do realize "it's not the worst [writing] I've ever seen" is not a compliment, though?
