Wow, Wuk Lamat is really single-handedly ruining the DT story...

Amen to that. Both the Viera in the gatherer questline were 100% more heartfelt and characters than Erenville ever was.

Admittedly, Erenville was the only one willing to say it loud and clear when he mentions fearing travelling with Poochie might have traumatized him.

Granted, it's clear that the whole point of his position was to be the tsundere childhood friend to the "ain't she great!" main character and was affected by the black hole of IQ that she is at times because her gravity pull it's just that powefull, but still, he was along with Krile, one of the characters that didn't make me roll my eyes or facepalm every time they spoke.

On the other hand, I really don't want to see Alisaie until the writers give her back the chunks of brain they removed from her this xpac to turn her into Poochie's cheerleader.

The Crafting/Gathering side stuff in Wachu was actually interesting. Learned stuff about blue mages while fishing of all things, learned about Vieras while gathering, got some origins lore while making books, it was actually interesting stuff, although short. The stuff they actually put in the MSQ though was...really basic. Pelu Pelu are people that REALLY like drinks, alpacas, and trading. Hanu Hanu LOVE their reeds and festival. Xb'raal was...tacos. Mamook was bananas...and a centuries long eugenics problem solved by giving them something to plant that wasn't bananas. There wasn't really a whole lot there overall that we got culture wise outside of the Yok Huy.

I finished the ones for ltw, wvr and crp and just started the one for the metalworks, so far, so good.

I think that unconsciously, I'm dodging the alch/cul ones because if I hear again how soft shelled tacos stopped a decades long war, I might remember how ridiculous that is again.

(And how incredibly disrespectful is that at the end of that quest Poochie handed me merely the leftovers of the food Krile and me made... I guess we were the maids supposed to feed on the scraps.)
