Driftwood was awesome though. Questing in a city is definitely my favorite part of RPGs, why I love the Divinity II expansion so very much over the base game (it's awesome Dragon sequence helps too, even if most seem to hate that for some reason). Bad questlog strikes again though, like the Beggar and Dog quest still being open after extorting money, I really see no way to proceed. Then again it might be super-arbitrarily pop up later like, say, Lord Withermoore.
You mean the Zeppelin escort mission? I hated it because I sucked at it, and I couldn't save the Zeppelin (apparently scripted, but being the irrationally stubborn sort, I seemed to not realise that for my first 847 attempts). But yeah, Aleroth was awesome: as someone who usually likes to roam around vast expanses of countryside seeing what there is to be discovered, and in particular Broken Valley in the case of D2, I was pleasantly surprised that I really enjoyed the deliberately claustrophobic surroundings.
I liked Driftwood, though not as much as Aleroth. It reminded me more of the D1 settlements in terms of its overall feel and quests, though I guess that isn't surprising.
And yeah, bugged quests: the beggar one annoyed me, as I didn't extort him but I did tell him to bugger off. Not according to the quest log, though. And Withermoore's never worked for me: apparently you can sometimes find him if you use various methods to reveal his presence but I'd expected him to just kinda turn up and do his thing.
Sorry to hear about the PC being a bit too interesting for its own good. D:
