Disappointed in the turn the Garlean Empire has taken

[ObsidianFire]

Look, There simply is no point arguing about it anymore when the first line of the Shadowbringers reveal is to “take down the garlean empire”. That just kills the story up north for me.

That was the tagline before patch 4.5 dropped and before the reveal that all the new zones in the next expansion were not on the Source, but were on the 1st Shard. I'm almost certain the "take the fight to the Garlean Empire" bit was a red herring since the reveal that we are going to the 1st Shard happens so late in-game and the developers didn't want to spoil it before patch 4.5 was even out.
