The Dathnak Event Needs an Ending

Also known as the Baldarak/New Baldarak event series.

A lot of thought and effort clearly went into it, but currently it just fizzles away. Now, it would be nice if the end result of all that carrying around was something really special, but even if we don't get any juicy bonuses or resources (the current ones are already nice), it is still necessary to find a narrative conclusion, so that players can know that it is, in fact, over.

This could be said for a ton of event chains in the game. Or even the leviathans - like talking to the curators after you've defeated them. Or the artist enclaves after they run off with your money. Or giving them refuge if they start getting 'sploded.

I could go on. Tempted to make a 'Adventures of Bubbles and Other Stories' mod fleshing much of this out.

I don’t want it to be over! I want them to add more plot to it. Make it even longer. Make it last the entire game!

And ending doesn't mean the relation with the Dathnak is over. It could mean, for example, making them into a diplomatic contact we can do limited trade with. And, of course, an ending doesn't mean ending it as it is. It would be great to have more Dathnak events continuing the story. Just make sure that if and when they end, we know it did, instead of being left wondering "wait, is it over? do I need to do something else?".

But it is that very wonder that keeps them so alive in our hearts.
