Yeah, it felt perfectly normal for him to be talking for most of the early part (haven't finished the whole podcast yet). It's a week or so before his game ships and you could tell Vinny and Brad especially had a ton of questions they really wanted to ask him.

I haven't heard the podcast yet. Will he be around for E3? I imagine if he's heading to NY before then, he'd be a bit busy to just come back and work.

He said he'd be making the trip then immediately turning around and flying back for E3.

Veev posted:

They started making it so each zone has it own complete and mostly self contained story line and the over-arching plot is contained in its own questline that they expand with each patch. You can still go back and do all those apart from a few temporary events, but it will take you a good chunk of time and there's not a lot of reason too. Someone of them are time gated by dailies and reputation too, which wasn't so bad when it was current and had good rewards but is a slog now.

That's actually one of the reasons I liked Wrath so much better than Cataclysm as an expansion. All of the Wrath zones had an interconnected storyline (for the most part), and felt like they were propelling you forward towards Icecrown and the Lich King. All of the new (i.e. post 80) stuff in Cataclysm felt so disjointed, and much more like some sort of interactive amusement park attraction or something (esp. the desert one).
