I think that’s what started to annoy me, was the cut and paste element of the mission. Go to island, discover someone who gives you a name and two locations for that person. Go to find person who gives you a little bit more information. Find island’s goblin flyer and either repair it or charge boots. Wash rinse repeat.Generic Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10244738602315542180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640929554503965005.post-12265079656744006662021-01-02T15:53:37.255+00:002021-01-02T15:53:37.255+00:00The art is stunning.
