Forest, moon and cold

got star stable membership again like a month ago in order to do the chunk of marchenghast quests which came out later and i have still barely touched them. i did the first milestone for one faction and haven't done any more. the structure feels sort of unbalanced to me... a lot of reputation for not a lot of quest reward. i feel like you reach a milestone and just get 1-2 quests to do which involve talking to npcs and take a grand total of 10 minutes and then it's just on to more reputation for another underwhelming bundle of quests. not even a criticism of the marchenghast plot, just the delivery. maybe it gets better. i don't know.

sort of goes along with a feeling i have (partly because in the interim i have been catching up on the older main story quests and area unlocks, love saving lisa) that the modern quests feel kind of... shallow? whole stories taking like 15 minutes. the entry into redwood point from mistfall felt particularly dire because they talked it up as a super dangerous mission into uncharted wilderness and the quests to get in took like 15 minutes and minimal friction in the play. it'll be interesting when i get round to unlocking dino valley, because i feel like that unlock felt more like the big adventure into uncharted wilderness that it was and had more little steps to do that made it more... fufilling??

also wildwood is just..... empty??? i know it is more recent than harvest counties/golden hills/whatever, they've had years to add quests to those areas a little at the time, but you get there and there's just nothing to do. it looks lovely! but there's nothing to DO there. they haven't really trickled out many new quests for it, just added it to the game and then not touched it again since beyond adding tailtop village and that maybe has the same issue (haven't played through tailtop quests yet). okay heck i looked it up and it released in 2020. they have had 6 years and this place STILL just feels pretty and empty.

anyway!! looking forward to camp western >:)

not sure i will be getting a quarter horse because from the pictures i have seen so far they look sort of... plasticy? i love the model itself from what i have seen but don't like the colours on it. they're all too smooth or don't have enough colour variance across the coat somehow.

[neolithic hottie who's been easing back into the modern dating scene]: so when he said he was a pot caster i thought he was a good artisan with a reliable income. But turns out he just talks to himself all day mostly. People don't even come to listen and he doesn't know shit about ceramics. Sometimes one of his friends is there though.

[One eyed priest-king who's been frozen in the ice for 10 000 years next to a mammoth but is starting to thaw]: girl no wayyyyy. What is slip casting a pot btw. The use of that technique (not to be confused with slipware) purportedly only dates back to the Tang Era (618–917).
