Isn't the 4e mindset that writers do focus on the crunchy mechanical parts and leave (most of) the story context to individual DMs?IMO both concepts have their disadvantages.4e material - not only adventures, but most noticeable - is as exciting to read as a telephone directory. The information is in there. You can find it. You want to have fun reading? Better grab a mathematics textbook.The copious detail in the character descriptions of the Kingmaker adventures, on the other hand, can easily become empty stuffing. How many players will learn of the Stag Lord's adolescence woes if not during leisurely after-adventure talks? Additionally, such detail makes the character less mutable. What if one of the contacts or family of the Stag Lord makes an appearance in a later adventure of the AP and you have made changes to the Stag Lord's context?But yes, I would love to be able to read a 4e adventure just for the fun of it. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/worried.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":-S" title="Uhm    :-S" data-shortname=":-S" /></blockquote>
