The best part of Dawntrail?

[Annica]

The best part of the addon was showing me that it's time to play something different... Ah, and Cornservant, the true Ruler of the New World.

The frontier zone. Wuk finally gives us a minute to breathe, and in the process we learn a bit more about Erenville while tackling a (relatively) small scale issue. The english voicework in this part is also really charming; the southern accents are on point. My only real issue with the story is the rubber bullets. Like... really? lol.
Wuk is waaaaaaaaay too present in Dawntrail. It really felt like the writers realized they goofed by not giving her any prior characterization (like maybe in post-endwalker, which they squandered on a void shard filler episode) so they compensated by cramming her into every scene imaginable. That, more than anything, made me actually dislike Wuk a fair amount by the end. And maybe dislike is too strong a word. I was fatigued by her. I was tired of her. When she crashed into the finale, I was rolling my eyes and going "of course" instead of feeling hyped. Remember when Zenos effectively did the same thing in Endwalker, except it was hype af? Imagine how unhyped it would've been if Zenos had forced himself into every endwalker moment; if every quest began with "speak with zenos," and if zenos were also an annoying guy in large doses. Fatigue. That's definitely the right word. The writers made me so tired of her. Can't even have a moment at the inn without KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK guess who it is, like bruh. Leave me alone for two minutes.

So yeah, that part where she finally just goes away for a few hours was great. Dawntrail needed more of those moments. If Wuk had been less present during the Living Memory sections (or, even better, replace her with Alisaie) then the other characters would've been able to breathe a little bit during their own climactic moments. When Krile meets her parents, we don't even get to watch them work through their awkwardness for two minutes before the camera pans back over to our table, where of course Wuk is sitting, and she and graha both can't stop whining about how awkward their reunion is. And like... yeah, they've never met before now. It's natural for it to be awkward. But we can't just let them hash it out, no, we need to get involved and go on an ice cream fetch quest because wuk demanded it, and now graha's gotta bite the ice cream like a goofy idiot, and just, god forbid krile have a moment. God forbid. Homegirl can't even open the door with her own key, she's gotta have the baby do it. Jesus christ, man.

Starting to get to know Erenville. We still don't really know him very well at all, but we're now scratching the surface beyond the acquaintance-level we were at during EW.

I'm really glad the game never forced us to use his birth name like everyone else insisted on doing. It really irked me his mother never called him by his chosen name. Just... really glad we didn't have to do it too.

I really look forward to where MSQ leads us from 7.1 into 8.0; the game made it clear we'll be accompanying him on his journey, and I'm honestly thrilled to have some more quality time with Erenville.

I am sure we'll get that quality time with Erenville again during post-MSQ...
We'll get it.

??? When I saw that my characters were gone and replaced by plastic dolls, even the benchmark was devastating. I don't even want to talk about DT but having my characters taken away felt like ARR-EW was also taken away because I can't even go back and replay those expansions without being jumpscared by all the uncanny changes.

Fishy face struggles. I miss mine too.

Honestly Arcadion is solid, the Melee, tank, and healer role quests are good, Shaaloani (sp) is great. Some of the new zones are good, the meta lore is nice.

Pretty much everything but the main hero and villain up to level 99 are good. It's just...two of the most important elements in any story fell flat.

[Asari5]

i mean the cutscenes look good... there are way too many(relative to playable msq content) and most we see is wuk lamat saying the same things over and over but it looks good
