I wasn't nearly as annoyed with the patch story in comparison to 7.0.

I'm in the same camp as everyone else who is wondering why they placed the focus on specific characters. I'm very lukewarm on the 'twist' at the end. I don't have much faith in the writing team for MSQ at this point so my expectations are in the ground.

Overall the writing was very mediocre. I had a lot of fun with the dungeon at least.
