September 29 End of Dawntrail Roundtable w/ Jesse Cox & Preach! | The Grinding Gear Podcast #173
Dawntrail's final MSQ patch is out and the recent patch has given us a toe
in the door. Runeworks, portals, Jotnar: the vocabulary is flowing heading
into Evercold. We gather the Round Table once more. We look at the
expansion that was and what we hope Evercold will be. Who do we want to see
more of, what can they do with the Warrior of Light and which direction of
the many options the plot will go. Jesse Cox wants to be punished. Preach
wants to climb in that hole.
