Reminder that Dawntrails MSQ will drag the game down, if it's not getting a rewrite.

Part of previous expansions enjoyment came from knowing other people were out there enjoying the same good story, it flowed around the community of the game. But now with DT, a player knowing the MSQ sucks ambiently knows it sucks for everyone else going through it too. It's a strange one because on paper, the bullet-point basics of going here-there, doing this-that and the things happening around it are mostly fine, it's just the way it was made and delivered that was very poor. Every Shadowbringers cutscene is rewatchable, whereas DT only has a handful that are any good. There was a great legacy factor building for the scions as an IP, but this game is pretty much having a 'season 8 moment' and people may very well not care for the scion characters in future because it will remind them of what was once a great game before it got absolutely ruined, a lot of people will want to move on and block this game out of their memory.

I can understand how the devs may think that they haven't changed their approach to the story, that there's always been some corny lets-all-hold-hands-and-save-the-world moments going on, but there is such a thing as 'earning' those moments, and that was done in previous expansions through hard work done by good strong intelligent characters that were almost always likeable. DT brought in a sucky NPC character and tried to have us speedrun and carry them on a clear to get a main character's title, which just doesn't work.
