the plotline is not quite so defined in the middle. at one point, you go into the middle of the desert, and a main character is like, "there are some mean people, one here and one there. now leave me alone." it kinda makes you feel like you need to kill something, but i never really felt any motivation to do so, other than finishing the game.

EDIT: it is quite fun, though, and the upgrading of weapons and items is cool. there is a +5 or better constructed weapon for each proficiency, (except katanas and darts) and a special item for each class. (even though most of them are helmets or gloves) the SoA portion is more interesting, but it is rewarding to finally finish the saga.

minor ToB spoiler...

when storming Sendai's enclave, i felt really sorry for her. this big powerful guy is invading, and breaking down all of her defenses, killing all of her guards, and she just gets more and more panicked. it really made me almost want to stop playing. almost. Abazigal was much easier to defeat on an intellectual level, because he wasn't so frightened of death.
