If you look back at page 3 you'll find an eloquent post by Peter (Seckler) who says the complete opposite - how he finds the lack of a pre-scripted story, or even outline thereof, something in favour of a good module.I expected this to happen fairly soon to this thread - as DMs we have varied expectations regarding what makes an adventure module 'ideal'. (Something Rodney sure knew when going in with the OP.)The design approach of codifying a story into a module is what typifies Paizo's products. When 4E lead designer Mike Mearls wrote a module for them ages ago ("Three Faces of Evil"), people complained about the lack of 'story' and about it being a huge slugfest with unmotivated combat end to end.* Here's Mearls' reply:This design tenet surfaces quite a bit in Revenge of the Giants, my favourite 4E module to date.*<a href="http://paizo.com/paizo/messageboards/paizoPublishing/olderProducts/dungeon/ageOfWorms/archives/comparingWhisperingCairnAndThreeFaces&page=1#21" target="_blank">Read the thread</a>. I think a lot we've been saying here is echoed over there, which proves that the dissatisfaction is pretty editions-neutral.</blockquote>
