@YianKutku: Ah thanks for that information. Guess I already forgot that. But it does make sense

About Qitari

I dislike the choices too. On paper it might sound nice that we are the ones helping with their history but unlike other beast tribes this makes it feel not rewarding for continuing the story line..I looked forward to every new pixie quest because I wanted to see how it turns out, who the other pixie was and how the new place will look. It was a nice way to also show the daily lifes of the people on the first.

I was looking forward to see the missing history of the Qitari, especially since they said that they are masters in writing it down..only to have it all be for nothing because no stone seems to be intact and we are not allowed to see the damaged stone at all. Instead of getting a nice glimpse of the past of that empire its left to us to write it..all after having a patch where they said to us how important it was to view the past as neutral as possible to get the whole truth..why not take it out and say that they simply dont know? I dont look forward to new quests...in the end the next few stones will be open to interpretation too and since its only like two sides to choose its really not interesting at all. I am honestly a bit sad how different in quality those two tribes feel. One has a deep story about the pixies, mixed with stories of the people and an awesome new place and the other is just "well decide for us please"..

About Qitari

I was leery about the whole thing, at first, but...

I felt a bit better about it when the following quest mentioned that after I'd made my decision, further excavations provided evidence to support the claim I'd chosen. So, it's not that I'm creating a false history for the Qitari, but rather that I have super intuition, able to piece together amazingly accurate predictions from small amounts of evidence. The history is real, but SE has given the player a choice as to WHICH history is real. Essentially, the player is being given a chance to help write the backstory for the Qitari.

I can understand this sitting wrong with some people. To lore-minded folks, this might look like the writers don't really care - that the "real, true" history of the Qitari is so unimportant that they're willing to let the players decide what they want. I don't see it that way, but I could see where others might.

The bad thing is they say this no matter what choice you do. This was probably to not make people feel bad for their choice but in the end both cant be real. I really wished we could have gone a neutral way or maybe "let us decide later when we have more information" way..
