Eh, it's all about context.

In any case, regarding ToEE...

My party's now got the location of the temple. I haven't even done much in Nulb; this is a bad sign. I don't feel like touching the city and doing silly quests anymore; the dialogue, quests, and NPCs are that dull. Every single one of the quests involves a lot of running back and forth, back and forth, from one NPC to another. At some point, I think I'll just slaughter all the NPCs and be done with it.
