As a late 2013 player, I began to notice a string of things that really striked my curiosity- For example, there are several texts in certain areas mentioning the Gnomes and their homeland (a hammer, them holding a tear of hera, etc). As a player of exploration, I want to see what those caves look like! I want an engaging string of quests and sidequests that'll take me a week or two to complete, each one with their own unique beauty and mechanics! I would want something that I can be proud of, something that I can look back and say "That was amazing!"
I know the team is working on other things, but at least acknowledge what I have said. Thanks.
