I find it insufficiently damning of Allag--which is surprising, since it's already pretty damning. But in really going for the shot on condemning Allag's cloning techniques, it... kinda just completely skips over the part where they were conquering the planet in the first place. Sure, I'll grant that part wasn't exactly Noah's primary field or focus, it'd be like yelling at the Minister for the Environment over crime statistics, but it really does feel weird that they kinda skipped over it.

That said, very happy that the game ran with my 'Tworeka' joke without me knowing, and gave me Twoamat!


I hope to swing at the whole thing one day, but I have no idea when or how; my gut vibe says it's probably the hardest deep dungeon in general, although only second-hardest solo (PotD has some NASTY checks for solo players). Very early days, though.
The choice during the post-floor 30 quest left me...

I think it was in-character from Noah, after all, she's an Archmage (heh) who was alive during the peak and decline of Allag, she wants us to remember the ingenuity and the good things they did. Unfortunately for her, we've been witness to the worst (or if it's not the worst, to some pretty horrifying <kupo!>) of Allag's "For SCIENCE!" approach. So while I understood her thoughts and feelings. I greatly disagreed.

When you ask her about Tiamat she even has the gall to say Tiamat was the Wyrm with the highest body count, if you count her summoning of Bahamut. But we know she was pushed and fooled into it by the Ascians taking advantage of her grief. Really just left a sour taste in my mouth. I can appreciate Allag's inventiveness without ignoring the awful, awful <kupo!> they did. Gleefully, according to Amon's Echo flashback.


Anyway, the achievement names are filled with Arthurian references and as a HUGE nerd of Arthurian mythos it's making me very happy. I'm greatly enjoying AN Eureka, so props.
