RULES
I’m about halfway through the story at this point, but I’ve really been enjoying these new starting zones.
Something that I never really did with the previous expansions is try and do a lot of side quests as I go. It’s been fun to learn more about these new characters and their cultures.
Reviews are certainly mixed (and having beat it, I agree a lot could have done better) but those zones are quite nice. I kept telling my Chilean friend that it's Chile, and apparently not too far off-- although the upper parts are probably more modeled after Peru because of the ruins.
PeluPelu are MVPs of the expansion, too.
I haven’t read a single review, and won’t until getting through the story.
I’ve enjoyed basically everything so far, to be honest. It’s fun to be the helper and not the savior of the universe for a bit.
I didn't mind that either. A friend complained but ultimately admitted she's a bit of a crisis junkie; she's not happy unless the fate of the world is at stake at every turn, lol.
