Keep Dead Quiet and Shadowland as it is, I don't want nostalgist dominated game of your likes.

In Q&A Safalaan is confirmed dead so take that.
They're terrible, so no. I'd rather revert them, but releasing them separately would be fine.

I have read the Q&A and this is not true. Mod Srowl*y explicitly wanted to keep it up in the air.

Moreover, your reply could be a little less aggressive, Zoli... Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire. OSRS: POH ideas & RS3 minigames & achievement ideas !

Perhaps you're half right; perhaps we can't win. But we can fight.

So, the finale has been announced for 2016. Not necessarily something I agree with; the Myreque have just had their spotlight, meaning there is more need for a gnome, desert, EW and/or pirate quest, plus we could use more time to speculate and theorise. But hey, I love the series, so it's fine for me personally, but that's selfish...

Finally! Someone other than me sees this point. People agreed to one Myreque quest. The series should not be put ahead in priority yet again before other series get their priority. It is wrong to reward the same group of players twice whilst ignoring the other players.

Yes, I'll admit I'm biased. I do not like The Myreque series, I'm sure everyone knows that by now. However I was fine with The Lord of Vampyrium because it was voted for and was the next installment in a series other people liked. That's OK (I still maintain Floor 61 sounded more interesting and would have been great, I certainly preferred it but whatever).

But giving it two instalments is not alright. It is taking away the opportunities of other series. I understand the logic being used, I just don't agree with it. However it seems the majority disagree with me, too busy going "Yaaay, vampires". I've admitted my based, but have others I wonder? Would people still be supportive of this if it was a series they didn't like such as Elemental Workshop?

So overall, I'm very unhappy and disappointed in this decision. It could have at least waited a year or two before this entered development. I'm glad someone else sees the issue with this.

I think the Sliske thing can turn out great conceptually (although for instance the Nomad quest features him as a villain, which sucks), like the Void series or MotM. If they'd limit the 6A quests to that, we could have some smaller scope stuff such as EW, monkey and something else (penultimate gnome quest or summat) so the Myreque's preferential treatment wouldn't be as glaringly obvious.

That said, personally (but that shouldn't affect my objective opinion), I adore the Myreque series, therefore this is quite nice. It'll be a real shame to see the series end of course, but unfortunately every good story has to. Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire. OSRS: POH ideas & RS3 minigames & achievement ideas !

It's fun to read how many points are the same between our reviews. Great minds amirite?

I agree with you on most points, though I was a bit less miffed about some of the smaller details. By this point, the game has made Zaros such common knowledge, it's stopped bugging me (though maybe it should). And besides that, it really does suit the character - I think Drakan's philosophy would have far less impact if he couldn't speak specifically about what inspires it.

As you can probably guess, I disagree with you on the music reworks. I really like that the melodies for a lot of existing tracks are less imposing, that a lot of the voices have less harsh attacks, the additions of echo. But, this sort of thing is really down to taste, and can't be argued one way or the other.

I was also a bit bothered by the disappearances not being directly addressed, wondering if I'd missed something. Are we suppsed to be infer that they're being used to power Drakan's portal? Being kept in reserve for Vanescula's army?

If I could add to your list for points to be addressed, I'd really like to see Harlow brought into the story, even if it's only in a very minor capacity. It only makes sense that the greatest vampyre hunter in Misthalin be brought in for their grand stand against the vyre army.

Very good review, all very cogent points. It actually makes me want to read the novels - I hadn't realized that so many references came from there.

I definitely think quest series' should be released in close conjunction with each other so they don't have to do graphical updates in between them (which also makes them harder to recognize more often than not). Finish the vyre series, then we move on to other stuff.

I for one really hope we don't have to kill Vanescula. She's alright in my book, for a vampyre. At the least she has good intentions and winds up doing a lot of damage in her attempts to make every side happy, and it reminds me a lot of myself.

After buying him a beer, he helps us craft the BLISTERWOOD stake n' hammer. The ultimate anti-vyre weapon! Headcanon Haven, where everything is made up and the points don't matter.

You should definitely read the novels. Apart from all the delicious lore, they're great books to read. Though much has been spoiled now, I reckon. Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire. OSRS: POH ideas & RS3 minigames & achievement ideas !
