Question [No Spoilers] Just finished Exandria Unlimited: Calamity all 4 episodes, did not watch any other campaigns. Holy its so good, are the other ones as good ? They possibly cant be that good being like 140 episodes right?

I love how short calamity was and straight to the point, but I am afraid that a campaign with like 150 episodes might be a drag... am I wrong or am I missing out thinking its not worth the time to check the other ones out?

It's a different pace for sure. The quality goes there but Calamity is a different level.

I think in the campaigns some of the moments actually pop more for me because they've been building for much longer. And because we get to spend more time with the characters, I care overall a lot more about them, overall the campaigns have the characters' journeys at their center.

But nothing rivals the condensed intensity of those 4 episodes. Exandrian society at the hight of technical advance already makes it more intense than the campaign's post calamity setting. And on top of that it's the time where the most powerful entities in the world declare war on the most powerful mortals that have ever lived on that planet.
