Wow, Wuk Lamat is really single-handedly ruining the DT story...

A lot of content is locked behind progressing the story. A lot of us have run all the content up until now to death and we are eager to get to new things to do. This one is just harder to get through and less captivating to some here.

Mao agrees. Mao gets weird "is-secretsly-the-prince-whats-gonna-takes-the-throne" vibes from hims.

It's a fundamentally bad idea to make a plot revolve so heavily around a singular character because if people happen to not like that character, it's gonna be a hard miss for them.

The player and the Scions just feel like Wuk's pep squad with how out of focus they are compared to the previous expansions.

I picked the second area first and jesus was she annoying, I had to stop and start 3 times. That being said I was already a negative about this expac due to how bad the jobs are, but this just reconfirmed by decision to unsub, just gonna grit my teeth for the next 8 days see if there is any story there to enjoy and then wait till 8.0 see if they made the game not bad.

Yeah I also get some lost prince of Khaenri'ah, I mean Tural, vibes.
I do like him though, he is the best thing about DT so far.

Anyway, I don't hate Wuk in Japanese. She sounds really cute there but the writing seems clumsy. I'm not that far in yet but the amount of time they repeated that sea sickness joke was just so contrived... I hope that's not how it continues...
In principle don't mind her having to grow and being a bit of a big mouth to cover up her insecurity, but from what I read I fear they aren't really pulling it off well?

Also, for me this is the first time I'm not hooked at all by the start of an expansion. The beginning on the ship felt so needlessly dragged out. Normally I play the story non-stop because it pulls me in so much that I want to know what happens next automatically. But now I have to force myself to continue and keep doing other stuff.

I think from what I’m seeing while the quests are rather slow either way the alpaca village is much better than the vanu village both from a map design and how tedious (or lack thereof) the quest design is

I’m usually on the critical side of square and while I think it’s a little slow I’ve so far had little problem with the alpaca side

If this ends up being all the way to 97 then yeah I’m probably gonna end up sick of it but for the moment it’s good world building and is giving a better arc to wuk lamat than lyse got

I grew to like her eventually, since she has actual character growth during MSQ.

As for VO, there were criticisms about it after reveal, but other characters also have inconsistencies with delivery of this Tyrali accent, so even that feels OK.

Yeah her character is annoying and I'm not a fan of her voice. I'm having a hard time getting through the story because of it. I don't like being forced to support her.

They went for an idyll and put it in a combat-oriented game. Way too much and way too quickly is solved with the power of friendship and love ;)

This is the worst MSQ this game ever had, by a wide margin. It's worse than every 6.X. Hell, it even makes 6.X look good in comparison. I hope SE feels bad about it, there are no excuses.
