    To be honest, this is exactly what concerns me by the fact that 2 writers have been let go, of all people. SotA needs the best possible story telling and quest design to live up to the Ultima VII legacy. How should that be done without writers?

    Good luck man. I noticed a big improvement when you were here and really enjoyed the outskirts quests. The depth of the quests was definitely noticeable and interesting!

    Thank you @Puuk for all the questing (I still have to find the way into some more of those sidequests). the outskirts are still fun to explore ;)

    Good luck for your future

    Oh no! These small quests were way more meaningful to me than the main quests with which I could never really identify myself. Thank you for them, and hope someone else picks up where you left off. I want to see the end of the League of Skulls story, and the interconnections between plots!

    I am also going to miss your song of the day. They were among my favorites.

    I wish you a big jump in your career, and best of luck.

    The outskirts were my favourite questing zones, very well done and entertaining. And agree with Helvig above, it was always great listening to your song of the day.

    Good luck.

    Aww, man... you created the league of skulls? That storyline (as well as all the others that you mentioned, especially now that you noted they were all connected) really got my interest. I was excited to see where they lead me and how they would progress.

    I wish you well @Puuk and thank you for all your contributions to this game. Hope you find a new job that you enjoy as much as you did here.

    I also hope that someone still here can pick up where you left off and complete the connections you were speaking about.

    I also enjoyed the side quests and rewards even though I'm behind in finishing them.

    Best of luck in the next leg of your journey.

    Oh! This is so sad! I have been greatly enjoying the quests you were adding in each release! They were very enjoyable. And I loved the whole League of Skulls that was slowly developing.

    You will be greatly missed!

    I can only say Thank you for all your work, and may you find something that you will enjoy doing again.

    @Puuk This is a real bummer and a huge loss brother! I haven't gotten to know many of the devs, but I always appreciated our chats. Whether it be about Shroud, weight-lifting or Elite Dangerous! ;)

    The Port team is great, but to me, you did some of the best work in the game. Highvale Outskirts is by far one of the best scenes in the game given it's size, scope and the engaging story/quest line. Visually, it's also breathtaking, which makes exploring it a joy! Your work on all the little game lore and tidbits was exemplary. Unlike some other quests, yours tied together neatly and made sense in relation to the overarching story. This may not be important to others, but to a lore nerd like myself I loved it. The League of Skulls...brilliant! I still don't fully understand who or what they are, but when they pop up and randomly attack me across Novia, I cannot help but wonder what secrets and hidden agenda they might have.

    Lore and quests may not be so important to others, but to me it's what breathes life into New Britannia. You made that happen. I am very discouraged by the fact that you will no longer be creating this content and expanding upon the already awesome work you have done. In fact I find it downright disconcerting. As @Corv mentioned, "SotA needs the best possible story telling and quest design to live up to the Ultima VII legacy." Gosh darn right!

    I recognize that this is somewhat common within the software development industry, but it doesn't mean I have to be happy about it. Having said that I know you will land on your feet quickly and continue to do great work. You 'da man!

    @Puuk,
    I enjoyed to follow the quests and also to hunt for bugs inside your quests.
    And I am happy you gave us these interesting stories in the Outskirts, Harvest and the Catacombs!
    All the best for you - a part of you will be always an important part of this game!

    Chin up and Farewell :)
