In this episode, I'm playing: Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure

Originally recorded on 12/20/2024. Finishing up Act 2 and now going into Act 3, the final act! So far I've enjoyed the story, especially the characters and the dialogue. A part of me still wishes that they would've used Lazarus instead of Mabon but I know, decisions were made prior to this release. Same with a missed opportunity to tie Nayos, the Realm of Dreams with the Sylvari Dream/Nightmare. This would've been a great place to continue/evolve the story with the Nightmare Court and the new Duchess.

Taken as a new idea, I think it's fine. Even good. I just can't help but see the similarities and feel like it's a missed opportunity.

For what it's worth, I am really enjoying the new maps and the large layout of the Wizard's Tower. Very cool lore sprinkled throughout! Also, I do enjoy the numerous callbacks to all of their previous expansions. I would've just liked more. I think, that's a good sign of what they're doing.

Join me as I explore Secrets of the Obscure!
