So, here I am with some feedback,
I have not yet have the time to start working on the quest.
But this is what I noticed:
There is a bit to little communication between Ep1. and 2.
You see. When one would start a new character and leave the sewers, he would get a message from his/her old friend Ashen and be thrilled to go and find out what is going on with her.
Now, before there is a chance to set off to the amazing quest-line to save Ashen and the horror of conclusion of it
Spoiler (the most of episode 1 is after all the frightening notes of Ashen which dwindles your hope bit by bit and give you strenght to fight trough the hordes, just to be in time)
The next message tells you that ashen is dead(practically rendering the first quest useless at once) and starts talking about Lorkhan as if you should know who this bloke is.
I know you said that the two episodes can be played separately, and the sure can.
But is that really worth the cost of destroying part of the amazement of part 1?
I recommend a choice for players.
An esp. that would activate the ep.2 quest only some time after ep.1 was finished for the ones who have both episodes and want to play them in the right order with out getting spoiled.
And a second esp. for the ones who only have episode 2 and aren't planning on getting the first(fool hearty as it may be;)).
Please take this into account, because I really think that episode 1 deserves more than a quest spoil by it's sequel.
Now, I'll take some time to finally play it.
