VD is sorry that you cannot roleplay your LegolasXxX. Don't say things like that.

I would kill off the instaport completely. Bouncing around like a ball in a pinball machine just screws with the game's internal time-sense, makes it harder to establish a connection with your character and, while I get the impression that AoD isn't that kind of game, eliminates a lot of potential adventures one might have while looking for the next quest location / character. It also strikes me as a next-gen feature, as if the idea is to spare the player of potentially boring treks, but I understand how it might have more to do with trying to prevent the player from fucking up the sequence of events in the multi-verse.
Of course, when saying "I would kill off instaport" I really mean that it wouldn't be on my list of possible design choices in the first place. Going over the whole game now and just tossing out all the triggers and creating viable work-arounds would probably be way too much work at this stage.

...that was weak as hell. I wouldn't say anything about the writing though, the setup and gameplay alone didn't grab me much. But truly it would be interesting to hear how the mainstream media react to the release since previews are..what they say...always sound sweet to guarantee a release review copy.
Well, I must be a bitch because I didn't mind the teleport.
I played some more and the only thing that I think really needs fixing is that the camera always seems to be at an unpleasant angle when teleporting.
So I find myself constantly fixing the camera.

^^ True. I wish it would just point down the direction you're facing by default.

Unless Iron Tower Studios buys a shit ton of ad space on those review sites like all the other AAA publishers, I doubt they'll get any good reviews from them.
There's always Sea on Gamebanshee though.

I second this!
You mean you can't get/set global variables from within dialogue choices?

Oops. New forum hides intervening posts.

It's not just the instaports that irk me, but also the constant "click dialogue, fade to black, click dialogue, fade to black..." and so on. It makes me feel like I'm playing a very shitty text game.
That said, the dialogue is very strong, and the graphics look great.
