Sometimes it’s the little things. Or, in this case, the relatively large things. I mean, that’s a pretty big hat.

I realize I may be in the minority here, but sometimes I would rather spend several hours on stuff that has a story -- like, a branching, unfolding series of quests that at the end have revealed something about the world or given you an insight into a character -- than play content designed to reward me with specific items on a schedule.
