Can we please have our story time back? I miss the sweet stories about the Giants, and their loves from the wonderful world around me. I am not sure where they have gone, or who muted the wonderful creatures of Ur; but can we please have them back?
I for one am happy that they took it out. I'm assuming that the devs decided it wasn't quite working the way they wanted, and that they are tinkering with it.
At some point, they have to add more backstory, but the way it was done via the talking trees made me just want to click "next" as quickly as possible.
Meanwhile, things like the tower quest or the rook museum feel like more interesting ways to tell the backstory.
Also, I think it was really surprising when the first tree or pig wanted to talk to me, but after a while, it felt like everything just kept wanting to talk to me all the time.
