I know the dialogue is clunky, and I also hate the continued "vestige is dumb as a brick" writing.
But, Necrom is fantastic for making my character feel like she's been around, fighting like a hero for years. Naryu and Ashur, with a comment on Veya too. Magistar Gothren recalling the ambitious Argonian. Being spotted as a hero of Clockwork City on the Sotha-Sil quest. Meeting Hezehk, that little weirdo, in Apocrypha. Of course he's bouncing about daedric realms. Vermina remembered me from Stormhaven (as she ruddy well should). Pretty sure Hermie did too, which is good or he'd be a rubbish remberer-of-things.
But, yes, finished all main quests and sides in Necrom over the last few weeks, and was left with the overwhelming feeling that my character has been around and seen stuff. It's been awesome.
