Jeff, when you talked about the Mage's Guild questline on the GWJ CC it sounded like you filled in the blanks with your imagination. I agree with the people who said it was poorly written because the plot is so compressed it becomes implausible and leaves no room for the characters to be developed. If you use it as a framework within which to tell your own story then maybe it works better, but that's not what I wanted or expected. I think it's the writer's job to develop the characters, not just throw in archetypes like the Arch-Mage and then leave it to the player to develop those characters in their own head.
