The game story should move with you as you progress through, instead you could have replaced our characters with any random guard and there would be no tangible difference. Also Stb jobs were not as lobotomised as they are now so people who didn't like the story at least had half decent gameplay and some really fun trials.
Well, I'm having some light copium right now with the new dungeons, trials, and especially Expert dungeons. I think they are all substantially more difficult - especially the Expert dungeons - and many of them have interesting mechanics. We'll see how it goes when Savage comes out.
