Pathfinder Achieved
I'm done.
The weight is lifted.
I completed it Sunday night but didn't get around to updating this right away.
Whatever the case, when flying drops, I will rise.
I'm just...
relieved.
That's the best word for this.
To remove that cloud over my head.
To get that bad taste out of my mouth.
I feel free to try to enjoy the game again on my terms.
To play the characters I want
at the pace I want
in the way I want.
It wasn't fun for me.
The questing was fine. I had basically completed it anyways.
The reps felt pointless.
What do they have to do with flying?
I had explored everywhere, just not on any one character enough to get the achievement.
So I had to run around to tick off the box.
Immersive.
Treasures also became a number to fill.
Not a reason to explore.
Not a fun thing to find.
Not something that added to the world.
They could have been those things, but it didn't feel that way to me.
Check box 1 of 8
75/100
76/100
Immersion.
Is that something I inflicted on myself?
Did I exacerbate something that Blizzard had done?
Possibly
Whatever the case, I don't ever have to do it again.
And that my friends, is a sign of good game play.
When a player says: "I'm so happy that is over and I never have to see it again"
Call it a success Blizzard, well done.
Immersed.
I've been reading too much Grumpy Elf Monday Random Thoughts.
