I just think it could have been fleshed out more is all. Once you go to Battahl it's like nothing happening in the kingdom matters. It makes sense in the grand scheme of things as being trivial but I quite liked that part of the story.I honestly don't think the story is that bad. It's fatal flaw is they never bother to wrap up the Vernworth stuff. They just completely drop it. If that had a proper resolution this would actually be a really good story. Phaesus is a interesting character and it's pretty brilliant how they sprinkle in little details about him throughout the game without revealing him until the very end. Nice touch. It just sucks that the Vernworth drama is completely forgotten. It all needed to be tied together.
I think it basically is. Now that I've played through that arc to completion, I'm not certain what you figure needs to be added.
What could happen that would involve you though?
The false Arisen was coronated and as far as the MQ goes, you're following the evidence to figure out what they have been up to. For the plot, they're still getting their Godsway artifacts in order to try and perform the summoning ritual which is part of what they're doing with the false Arisen who's just hanging out waiting for that to be done.
