lady larent + stibbons questline is my favourite. she is always twarting my plans. poor stibbons.

I think its Rivenspire where Montclairs wife is dying and they use a stone shard to try and heal her.....Awsome story that took me suprise.

If you will excuse the thread necromancy, I was not finding a whole lot on the forum today about things people enjoy....plus I'd rather carry on a thread than create a new one, even one that will soon be one year old.

Most of us have completed the storylines multiple times by now yet for some reason I enjoyed the Alik'r and Redguard story more this time than ever before.

Between the Alik'r and Bangkorai you become steeped in a culture somewhere between the ancient cultures of Assyria, Egypt and the Hittites, owing elements to each.

Nothing about the Redguards feels contrived. Yes, they're superstitious but there is an internal consistency to their views that feels....real to me. Well, perhaps Frandar Hunding's Book of Circles is a bit much with its thousands of sword grips and such but its maxims ring true.

Plus the best of all story points of view is that of the necessary outsider. In the case of my character not only is she an alien to that land by virtue of being as dark a dark elf as you can get, but any character you play must first become a member of the Ash'abah tribe who are shunned by all Redguard society....except other Ash'abah members I suppose.

Yes, much was made of the change to Redguard armor, particularly the light armor which many people used for clothing. Yet, in fairness, the signature concept piece was even more stunning and has not yet made it into the game.


Normally I'm simply relieved to be done with a zone as I'm not a huge fan of imposed stories in online games. Yet I could have stayed longer in the Alik'r.
