Been playing this game for ~3 months now. My thoughts so far

[Exidrial]

Heavensward really is a huge improvement compared to ARR.
The problem with Heavensward for me personally was that it basically threw almost everything I did pre heavensward away.New "country", new characters, new enemy.Suddenly the Dragons are the enemy.
Heavensward had some good parts but I guess it felt boring to me because not much memorable happened.

The game lacks an antagonist. A proper one. An antagonist that you really start to hate. This whole Dragonsong war thing is something I do not care about.It was irrelevant during ARR and suddenly it's the focus of the story?
The story feels random, it's just "kill whatever baddie appears next".

Even killing the primals who are considered gods becomes routine.After killing 2-3 it's nothing special anymore.
