Epic adventure doesn't necessarily mean fighting gods with throwing stars at them). There are stories with hundreds of pages that take place in one forest or village. But again - I can only talk about what I can understand from my experience and sometimes making up little stories here and there to illustrate my statements.Or like a finishing of quest-line that was going on for years? I wasn't taught that system that you just made up, sorry
There never were any plans for epic main story. I always said that it's not something that should be expected. This game is an opposite of the games where hero goes on an epic adventure. It's the one where he stays at home village, and nothing happens to the home village (wild twist)
And I'm definitely not gonna tell you how you should tell your story - coz it's yours.
