Coming Soon: Legion

Yeah, so I figure that by the time you read this, my moral resolve will have crumbled and I'll be the owner of a copy of Legion. In the meantime, I'm happily bopping around killing rats and clicking glowies. After I dinged 98 a little more than a third of the way into the quests in Spires of Arak, I packed up and headed to Nagrand. This was done for a number of reasons.

First, I'd like for my quest rewards to at least keep pace with my level. Crazy, eh? Second, I'm a completionist at heart, so I know I'll come back and do the rest of the quests at some point... along with the optional missions and treasure collecting. (As an aside, my excitement over finding the hidden treasures waned considerably once I found out you can just buy maps that show where they are all hidden.) Third, I've always had a soft spot for Nagrand: the vast open expanses, the gentle rolling hills, the stupid poop quests. Well, maybe they weren't all pleasant memories, but I did want to see what the terrain looked like. Fourth and most importantly, I really, really hate bird people.


"Really, Strev? In bird culture, this is considered a dick move."

Nagrand sailed along beautifully and I wasn't disappointed. It was "nostalgia done right" as I picked off clefthoofs (clefthooves?), talbuk and elek like in the days of olde.The scenery was bright and uncluttered, with just enough mountainous terrain to piss me off mildly. I thoroughly enjoyed the Throne of the Elements section particularly, despite it being entirely devoid of unique mechanics. It was just really well laid out, in my opinion. The zone was significantly less linear than previous ones and about halfway through I hit 100.

Now where did I put that credit card?
