6.5 is fine, but it comes after 6.3 and 6.4 that spend their time stalling with subplot that had potential, but were not developped enough to live to that potential, and at the same same time too present to not feel like filler. I really feel the "all the trials in the msq" really hurt the pacing and storytelling.

I was hyped when they told us they would cover the subject of the last of the first brood, but it ended being mostly underwhelming, with some good moments. But there also are some missed opportunity. I would have loved to have Hraesvelgr and Tiamat to have a small role in the climax. (after the trial, just before the rest of the gang joins, there was a small light in back that made me think for a second we would have a Midgarsormr intervention, but no)

But overall, I enjoyed 6.5 msq. The dungeons was story relevant, which after the last fuel run dungeon was nice. My only gripe is that, after spending 1.5 year on that questline, I expected to at least meet Azdaja. We have an epilogue for Zero, Julius, the sharlayan council, even for Ryne that was there for less than an hour in that storyline... And not an interaction with Azdaja? That's weird.
