anyway,,,,,,,, i just want to say, as a story and lore nerd, Champions has be absolutely FEEDING me.
like.... gosh i could go on and on about the character drama, the lore implications, the world building? EOTN is an absolutely incredible little hub of interest. we have all 5 races and the pact, along with all of the factions we're recruiting. it's so great! Logan telling you that the Pact is strained is so good because it's conformation of the pact's trajectory. the ambient dialogue and the npcs that are there are just so cool. it's so cool to see the orders and the governments and the factions intermingled as they prepare for the upcoming battles. we got an update on the pale tree! Sigfast is there! Phlunt!
and the character drama? the fight between Braham and Taimi? the back and forth fishing for information between Caithe, the Commander, and Ryland? the friction between Jhavi and Jory? SO GOOD! they're both showing the stress of the current story and following through on story beats that were laid in advance (the asura and Primordus, what being a champion means, and how far is too far when it comes to war respectively) and i am so glad!
the writers are pulling out all the stops for this and I am so, so excited to see where it leads. that is all
