We just played the side quest " Stand at Thaurgrim's Rest " in RtL, and I haven't really seen any discussion about it, so I figured I'd start one.
Firstly, I'd like to say that it's a really neat idea for a quest - a sort of quasi-tower defense mission.
That being said, this quest is far too long for the rewards you get. It took us about 4 hours to complete, where most other side quests are about 2, and the rewards are similar. I suppose it's possible that if you get a perfect win, you may get something better, but as it stands, we lost 2 objectives but won the quest and got 5 fame and 90 gold.
Several turns from the end, we started laughing as the game just threw more and more at us. It became a slog, and sucked all the fun out of slaying monsters left and right.
Has anyone else played this one? If so, what are your thoughts?
