Our take on Reaper - Tale of a Pale Swordsman
Players seeking one uninterrupted campaign may bounce off when the game shifts to Dark Harvest, Torken Arena, or the repeatable Dark Shrine quest. Those activities move the structure away from a single quest path and into separate battles, arena contests, and recurring content.
