One problem I'm having, and I'm just being honest here, is although there are a lot of quests and not much grinding, the quests are boring as hell. "Go talk to Shamisorierareisaran in the City of Blahblah" Ok. "Go collect 8 Flowers of Glowishness from some field on the way to some town somewhere you've never been." Ok. "blahblahblah - lore - blahblahblahblah" Ok.
Don't get me wrong, I'm extremely used to questing from WoW, that's not the problem. The boring part is that I don't really care to hear why some merchant in this town has a family feud with a merchant from another town, and I don't want to read three paragraphs about why I should kill this dog who mauled someeone's mother. I guess I've gotten used to the quests in WoW always throwing some funny kind of bone in a way. Quirky names, quests for a boomerang for a guy named Link, constant interaction with 12 year olds. Believe it or not, although it's frustrating, it is quite entertaining. Maybe I'm not high enough level to get to the really good stuff yet. That's what I'm hoping for anyway.
Although Tolkein's story is one for the ages, I'm more familiar with WoW lore than I ever have been with LotR lore. I played all the Warcraft games. I shivered when I watched the previews of TBC and saw Illidan flexing his muscles. I cringe at the thought of Blizzard actually putting Arthas in the game somewhere.
Maybe the graphics are disappointing. Maybe I've been playing for too long. I don't know.
help me get excited and I swear I can talk Chad into it.
