When are we as player going to demand from SE a better MSQ experience

Agree. DT is sadly really lacking in the game aspect regarding the MSQ.

Normally I don’t have a problem with cutscenes but this time I was almost begging to do anything.

Anyone remember the Ronka puzzle in Shb or the hangover stuff in EW?
Simple storytelling through gameplay to break the cutscene monotony.

I think the biggest problem this time around is that the entire expansion is centered on one Charakter namely Wuk Lamat.
There is a several disconnect at least for me given that we have no role in the story.
We are not really a mentor but aren‘t adventuring either. We are just „there“ to stand beside the main character but are not unimportant enough to not be constantly at her side and can’t even be alone in our room without her barging in.
We don‘t even do anything in the story for the most part, just standing there nodding.

It’s really strange.

I actually like the story itself minus the pacing but the missing gameplay and the third wheel status of us really sours it for me.

Estinien is more of an adventurer now then we are…

Just at least give me ANYTHING to do in the MSQ. I would even pick up rocks again!

Honestly, it wouldn't be so bad if the writing wasn't also kinda slow, I had an absolute blast in

Shaaloani, between Erenville actually being really entertaining company, the change of pace from forest to wild west, and us throwing that dung into the campfire and the absolute chaos that ensued, it's honestly my favorite zone so far.

Plus I feel like we actually got a bit of our character back, I couldn't help but smile at the "But the Rroneek Erenville, the Rroneek!" dialogue option we got at the beginning of the zone, and the fact that Erenville was just like "Here's a bag, go pick up some bird dung" and our WoL was like "...Ugh, do I really have to?" made me crack up.

Plus there was the entire subplot with the sheriff and the other midlander whose name I forget, as well as meeting Jerryk and the trolley crew's source counterparts that was genuinely kinda touching.

It just really feels like the writing picked up in that zone, albeit I'm still at level 96 in the MSQ so maybe it gets better, but man, we need to get whoever wrote the MSQ for that zone to do more.
