That's true, but with each of my alts who has done this quest, I always choose to defend the docks. That's because each of my characters believes that the castle, being a strong fortification manned by a professional garrison, will be able to hold off the attack without my aid, while the docks will surely fall if I don't go and lead the defense. My characters are always surprised to find that the castle was actually not able to hold.Talwyn_Aureliano wrote: »However now on subsequent play through with alts I defend the castle as that is far more important than the docks.

Having a secure castle allows you to make a counter attack on the enemy forces who have a beach head at the docks but losing the castle means you have lost the entire zone.
Yes, I know that as the player, but my characters don't!Talwyn_Aureliano wrote: »I do like how you have to make a brutal choice as to which to defend because you know that where you you go then that place will be saved and the other place will be over run.

I always had the opposite take. The strongest fighters and most of the professional soldiers are at the docks. The fort is full of non combatants and rookie soldiers who can barely hold a blade. (I don't know if it was an animation error but one was holding the sword above the hilt. It really sells the hopelessness of the people there if you don't help them.)That's true, but with each of my alts who has done this quest, I always choose to defend the docks.

I did that one a month ago. Has it been taken out since then? I assume we are talking about the mammoth? After you drink the potion Nojaxia gives you for the quest "Enlightenment Needs Salt" when you visit the village of Lukiul Uxith?

Is that where it was? I could swear up and down it was in Bal Foyen. Never mind then. *blush*

Matron's Clutch (thumb wavering) - Many fewer Dreugh now instead of many waves in order to summon the Matron.
Also, when you teleport to see Balreth take on the Covenant, it is on a ship now, which is fine, but there aren't multiple waves of Daggers, including an officer, trying to take him down. He just rains fire on a few enemies and then you have to jump off of the ship and swim back to the city.
I'm disappointed that the "Help! The cat's chasing me!" quest is completely removed.

Oh man, I never noticed one of them holding a sword wrong! If I had noticed that I would have come to the same conclusion as you: these guys can't save themselves, even if they are in a strongly fortified position!driosketch wrote: »I always had the opposite take.
