Did I skip something in the MSQ? This part doesn't make any sense to me

[kaynide]

Not a fan of the MSQ either, lots of “wtf are they talking about?” Or “why did they set it up like that?”

It all works if you just accept this: the new writer probably didn’t play through the core game, and wasn’t really sure what he wanted to do to connect major story beats, or didn’t really utilize his writers’ room/round table discussions.

Sure, if you really wanna bend over backwards and force things to make sense, sure, fine, go for it. But to me, the entire 2nd half was bleh.

I mean, I would have found it better if more endless existed outside of Living Memory, functioning in the way Sphene does (hologram’s robot pawn)…but eh.

The entire setup was awful with the big tagline being what would happen if the scions were put on opposing sides. That was supposed to be a major plot point. We had, what.. one moment in a dungeon where Thancred blocked our path? That was the big climax of our rivalry?

They couldn’t write what should have been a fun Indiana Jones-esque adventure with hinjinks between friends?

An overly affectionate father wouldn’t notice something is up with his boy? You’re telling me Daddy Galool never praised his son? Or that he wouldn’t be all over his son trying to make sure he’s ok? I struggle to find how Zoraal could possibly grow up to be as brooding, ignorant and full of misguided ambition.

What even is the point of waging a war to exhaust the people from ever waging war again? And against who are you gonna wage war on? You’ve got no air force, no navy, barely an army. Their best infrastructure is probably their Amazon Delivery Network Pelupelu Alpacas. Is he saying he will jack up the mail delivery? Poke holes in the drums?

TL;dr, we got Disney sequel writing this expac…is what it is.
