Return of item/deed flavor text in U24 -- THANK YOU!

[jalapeno_dude]

One of the things I've missed over the last few years has been the stripping down and/or removal of most flavor text from things like exploration and slayer deeds (the thing you see when mousing over the completed entry on the right-hand side of the deed window). So it was wonderful to see that slayer deeds in the Vales give a (sometimes quite funny) quote from Radagast or someone else in the zone, and that each location in the various exploration deeds comes with a meaty, often multi-paragraph description. The little stories on the item tooltips for the Black Book quest rewards, which even differ in interesting ways depending between Might/Agility/Will gear, are also a nice touch.

I know this is a relatively minor thing which is easy to miss, and it makes me very happy that someone at SSG put in the effort to add these little lore rewards. I wanted to assure whoever's responsible that their efforts are noticed and appreciated, and that they brought a smile to my face. Keep it up!

I know this is a relatively minor thing...

I'm glad you enjoyed them! I missed them too, and it was a stretch goal of mine to add them back in for this update, so I took a weekend and wrote as many blurbs as I could manage. I'm hoping to be able to make the time to do this for future updates too, amid all the ambitious stuff we have coming up.

I hadn't noticed the deed descriptions, but I saw that many of the quest rewards have funny and/or interesting stories behind them! I enjoyed seeing that.

Well done, you. I'll save an extra slice of pie for you.

Mmmm, pie.

ahh, MoL, you've always been the greatest of storytellers! Thanks for taking the time to brighten our days and heighten our immersion!

(Thank you, and the rest of the SSG crew, for sticking with the original Turbine games!)

Thank you so much for that! I've mentioned repeatedly on the forums how much I missed that from the older content. This is very welcome and here's hoping you have room to do it for future stuff too

[Moondog548]

Great to hear!

I want to echo the sentiment that these little bits of "fluff" really do go a long way for some of us.

Add another highly satisfied customer here! The 'flavor' these 'little extras' add keep LotRO players involved and eager for more - very well-done, MoL! Thank you!

Seeing a tiny little bit of generic flavour text which had no actual flavour is really disappointing. Thanks for putting some juicy lore back into the Deeds.

signed!
tks a lot MoL!

[SinordLoresearcher]

I have missed these descriptions in the deed logs so very much, and it is incredible to see them again!

Would it be possible to add more descriptions to previous deed entries that have only brief descriptions?

Thank you so much MoL! Keep up the good work!
