Eh, LA didn't go very in-depth on that summary.
Goblins do perform worse than Fae, but it's also because:
- Less people actually played them: 23% of people have no idea what the Blackholt Plotline is, as opposed to 14% of the people who haven't seen the Fae characters.
- More people just dislike goblins - 6,6% answered they simply don't like goblins, as opposed to 1,3% for the Fae. You can't win those people over.

Not that many people wrote they don't like it - just that they'd prefer other things were a focus, which is understandable.
Anyway, I got a little depressed over the results a while ago, but I'm over it. I put a lot of thought into the goblin plotline, and I stand by my decisions. I think once people will be able to experience the complete storyline, they'll consider it a valuable addition to SoC as a whole.
Help your patreons with an illustrated guide of how to active some plots that need to meet requirements, like a Nintendo Power Player's Guide for SoC... If 10% of the fan base of your game have trouble in getting know of some events that aren't random and theses aren't game secrets put in there for purpose for later Acts as part of an special plotline with a different outcome at the end of this Saga of Chaos, then something, may your pardon but something wrong you are doing...
I personally enjoyed more goblins plot than fae one, because it feels more reasonable than the orc one (more if you think that you can now help the girl in the orc camp but still win favor with Da Twins by winning the goblins favor), moreover most of it seems to work in Rowan's favor (yet) i hope for it's completion to play it... The only character i could complaint is Zii-Zii, i'm sorry but she's annoying to me.
Now... Fae event doesn't feel instinctive for me as a player, since you can "visit" Jezera's area even when there aren't any visitors it makes you as a player lose interest in "visit" and moreover Jezera's area (the same applies for the prison and the arena where both are Andras at the same time, which for me doesn't make sense and i never visit because don't call my attention because there aren't events to do ever as far as i played), the first time i played when it was announced fae event released i ended in week 60 before visiting them, so i replayed this build v0.3.09a to just properly visit them... It would be good a reminder or an invitation event or make invisible visit button until there is real visitors...
Apart of that... It's interesting to know of them as species but to be honest, the Fae probably have more success because, and with your pardon, your fan base in patreon likes the fanservice... Because they just feel like that... Alright, the dream with the fox seemed interesting and the following show to us great mystery, but when they appear, they did demanding because of the suppose danger that the pair of demons can bring if they still play with forces they don't fully understand, but in relation to Rowan it is not clear what they want of him, yes, to help them, to save them, but of what exactly? we must assume there are more enemies and dangers that the Fae have and they just appear to demand to not fuck up more things like they are? (even if the mortal normal plane of existence doesn't seemed to occur anything bad?).
Because it feels like that, aside from some kind of rhetoric philosophy, it shows to the player an abundance of tits, literally... They are shown of a possible promise to be useful for Rowan's purpose in the future, but apart of knowing better their species, the abundance of tits and a promise, they aren't truly interesting, the Goblins have a past that are tied with Rowan (even if this was indirectly), they have schemes, struggle for power, politics, social control and bland power; comparing to the Fae they seemed more interested in mundane aspects... I don't know how much complete are both events but Goblins seems to me more complete, like half of it, but even after all i saw of Fae event seems to me very incomplete, because if Da Twins represented a real danger for their playing with magic then the Fae wouldn't wasted time in contacting Rowan in his dream, less to appear in Bloodmeen to demand instead to just cut off the threat,
Rein if you are the responsible too or Fae Event but, if not, if half of the energy you have employed in Goblins would have invested in Fae's maybe would improve to be better, instead of what i described.
