    Liked the ending but it were at best 5-10 minutes. The rst was indeed all over the place, ok the background story about the mother gave a nice touch if I cared more, but the part in the steps was a total waste of time.

    I have to disagree. I found the ending to be the worst part. I'm sick and tired of nobody staying dead, and always having some big bad. Been there, done that. Move on! Pulling a Palpatine is so cliche at this point, I mean they've had more resurrections than Jesus.

    The beginning was fine. I was a little disappointed, because this was a perfect opportunity to create some real conflict. The Alexandrians are struggling with mortality and loss and the death of their Queen, and they should be, rightfully, angry at us for what we did and for upending their entire society. But it's fine, the backstory for Gulool Ja was ok, not great, but it was fine, I guess, I didn't hate it.

    The second part is what I enjoyed the most, because this is what I wanted out of DT as a whole. Small, self contained and personal adventures in a new land, helping people along the way, fighting beasts, on my way to discovering the City of Gold. An Indiana Jones meets Kwai Chang Kane would be the best way of putting it. I don't care that the whole Koana moment was badly written, I'm fine with it, because I'd expect ranchers and herders to want to protect their flock from predators. That's a realistic situation.

    And then we get that completely awful ending, rewriting history again, yet another big bad, possibly world ending catastrophe. I'm so over it! I'm considering starting a pool, if the big bad turns out to be yet another Ascian.

    But... eh!... That's just my opinion. I got my hopes up for a moment and then went back to business as usual.

    When i stop to think about it..Rak'tika Greatwood had more 'Indiana Jones' moments then the whole DT.
