A well-needed pallet cleanser after years of mediocrity. It feels fun to finally play an expansion that values your time and feels like a game more than a mandatory job. That being said, the in-game narrative direction and presentation are still pretty poor despite having very well-done side quests and an expanding lore that only grows more intriguing. I think viewing DF as the foundation for a future of WoW that's more grounded and is a return to form allows me to appreciate it a lot more than something that attempts to rectify what came before.
