I didn't like CRP or BSM much, but they weren't terrible or anything. The rest were reasonably enjoyable. It was nice that we finally encountered some NPCs who, while not cruelly critical, were nonetheless not falling all over themselves to tell us how we're literally the best at everything ever. Instead they were like, "Ah, yes, I can see your talent. This is good work for someone who is so unfamiliar with this style of crafting," or the chef telling us that in a mere 10 years we'd know enough to call ourselves a master. Alchemy was neat in that it involved MSQ characters and actually advanced plots relevant to them. Also, I like the three expansion development arc with Blanstyr, personally.
