I'm actually mostly looking forward to the new lore we'll get?
My main is a xaela who is 100% convinced he will die if he ever goes back to Othard, so he has absolutely zero intention of ever going back there, and - by happenstance - also very few plot leads that could take him there against his will. So I sincerely doubt I'll be doing much actual plot-related roleplay...
...but as I recently said on another thread, we know extremely little about the au ra, despite their visibly unusual biology and obviously starkly different culture. I'm really interested in seeing what new details the sidequests and environment in the Azim Steppe will give us about the au ra.
I'm under no illusions that the MSQ will focus on that stuff... but if we manage to go to the Steppes and learn nothing new about au ra, I will be very, very surprised.
