I disagree completely. The script is full of lazy writing. "I don't have time to explain why I don't have time to explain." That is a blatant misstep! You're writing the damn script, your job is to explain! "How did the Awoken survive?/ No one knows." And no one cares to find out? We never ask? We just walk away thinking "ok, cool, whatever." Again, it's your job, as the author, to flesh that out. Another lazy bit of writing that breaks down the strength of the story. "I could tell you stories of the great battles." Yeah, you could. And we should want to find out about those stories, because guess what? Everyone playing wants to know that too! And yet, again, we just walk off saying "ok- what's shiny?" When I buy a game that promises a great story, that's what I expect. A complete, fleshed out story. The DLC, that we will also have to pay for, should supplement that story, but not be integral to its telling. That is, again, lazy writing. It is rife with opportunity to be immersive, complete, gripping and tantalizing, but it denies this potential at every turn. That said! I love playing this game. It's the most fun I've had in a long time. But sadly, that is despite the story, not because of it.
