Dusk Wrote:I stopped working on the Personal Story at around 60; up to 70 now. I don't like him just because he's such an uninteresting and flat character. He never makes any mistakes or overcomes any obstacles, and his background and personality are completely dismissible. He doesn't want to be a hero, yet when the opportunity arises, he immediately starts doing everything right and making everyone respect his command. I'm just not rooting for this guy. He hasn't earned it. I don't want to be his errand boy.
That's a more reasonable reason to not like him than some of the stuff I heard when the game was first released.
I heard all kinds of stuff about how he stole the spotlight from your character or something like that? I never really saw that. Then I heard some other stuff about how because he's the leader of the Pact, it somehow makes your character worthless which people peach about because it's a Personal Story. Honestly, even if that was the case, some Personal Stories are you getting screwed over (in real life). Meh, whatever.
I got stuck on the first Cursed Shore mission when you have to shoot with some tanks, but the tanks were glitching out and you couldn't do anything, because they would kick you off of them while aiming. I eventually did what you had to do solo, but after dying so much it cost me over a gold to repair, which is insane. THEN, before I even was able to finish, the boss glitched out and became invulnerable because some NPC was supposed to be activated but never was, so the mission became impossible to complete after all that bullpomegranate with the tanks.
It really killed my interest in completing the Personal Story. I had already done Arad Story Mode so I knew how it all ended anyway.
