I am so freaking bored of Shadowbringer's story

[Tlamila]

Oh, look, someone I agree with. A reason why I came back to the game is because everybody said how awesome ShB story was and "even better than HW!" so I was expecting some awesome things.
The first part, where you go pick the twins, was nice, but after that it went downhill and never went back up for me. I haven't finished it yet but almost, and I doubt those few quests can change a whole expansion of boredom. It has some nice points, but very small ones. The whole plot feels very "catch them all", and ever since Il Mheg I wanted to skip (but I never did).
the trolley part was funny, the ruins were interesting, Ardbert is cool and I think the Exarch has a crush on me and so maybe Ardbert, the twins grew up a lot and I'm proud of them. But for the rest meh. I just can't wait to be done with it and move forward, so far I've been dvancing pretty slowly with it cause I can't tolerate more than a small chunk at a time. I hope it's not the way forward from now on.

And I say this as someone who loved ARR, which everybody seems to hate, cried profusely for HW, and so for SB, longing to meet the characters of those expansions again, always. Going from the heartbreaking Tsuyu's storyline to this was a huge fall for me.

If people disagree is fine, no point in insulting people because they don't like what you like though. I never got angry at people saying ARR and SB are meh, even though i consider it heresy.

It's mostly the 'first' and 'final' acts that people love. For me SHB drags a bit in the middle but the beginning (up through the fallout from the first dungeon) and the final stuff (level 79-80) was really good, and the ending leaves a hell of a good final impression. But the middle does drag a bit when it's in full video game formula mode of 'go to new place, kill a light warden' for a few zones.

I guess it's true, though people seem to love the whole fairies thing that I hated.
I'm also thinking that most people are into something very different than I'm into. People love reveals and all, of which this is indeed full, while I'm more about small things like personal connections, emotions and all. This expansion is more focused on the former, though I'm seeing that in the last part it gets kinda emotional.
