There's not even a cliffhanger to make me look forward to the next one. Heck, even the Forked Tower ends up being a side-side quest.

As I write this, I realize it's symptomatic to Dawntrail's side stories. The ones with installments just don't feel complete - The Alliance Raid, for example, parts 1 and 2 does not give the feeling of an achievement at all. Heck, much like the Forked Tower, the raids themselves are just filler, because the fights are nearly pointless, and besides Prishe, none of the bosses there are relevant to the whole thing. Feels like if I'm watching a movie divided by month-long commercials (even patches).
Forked tower’s lore offerings basically amounting to “tower is guarded by monsters to hide a series of books you can’t even read because it’s in a dead language” is absolutely pathetic

I guess on the one hand it’s good because it doesn’t disadvantage people who don’t do forked but on the other hand it’s pathetic for those that do
