They announced that if you don't agree with Social Justice, they don't want you using their game. They literally used the phrase "fire yourself as our fan". I don't mind people picking sides in political disputes, but if they want to be faggots about it then that's just obnoxious.

I like the idea of elves closer to book tolkien rather than movie tolkien, so as such they're big song and dance people, a lot more revelry going on in the northern elf kingdoms than you would get in rivendale, world capital of asses with sticks up them.

Also the chromatic dragons are euro style and the metallic are eastern lung dragons, with bahamut being a real shenron looking motherfucker, don't know if that detracts from the originality or not.

Ancient God killed by the original "man", and was cleaved into 9 gods. The 9th wouldn't play nice, and was buried by the other 8.

Many many years later, he's waking up, and he's pissed.
