I didn't end up having the time to go over Wrath of Xan previously, but one thing I'd like to note there is to please make the war mobs less fat. The Hordes being large is fine, since it's a group of enemies.
Having access to their elemental weaknesses would be nice, but the only easily accessible ones are the Ice weapons at Serenity and Yulgar, which vary in level, and there's no Warrior option. I don't think the game really teaches that this doesn't hugely matter, but Warrior based newbies might not go for them.
It's very cool to keep the progression of Falconreach burning down, but it does mean there's a lot of enemies in there, that combined with them being bulky doesn't feel good.
Anyways, the new stuff.
I like that Valencia comes with us for the Vultragon hunt, but it feels weird that she's not in the cutscenes before and after the fight. She doesn't really need to say anything there, just feels a bit off that she pops in just for the fight.
Not sure what to think of another weapon that gets upgraded as you progress through the game, but you can't really call it a spear shop anymore I guess.
Something to note that's kind of felt like an issue overall, and now really reared its head here is the drop and EXP scaling, which is a bit off.
For some reason, Robina's stuff gives you level 10 stuff (You won't be at 10 yet), and then Wrath of Xan goes down a bit. Now here, we get level 11 gear, including an upgraded Stone weapon to fight the Vultragon with... but you're not level 11 yet. It feels sensible that this weapon that helps you tremendously against the boss should be accessible without resorting to grinding quests (Not like there's much you can do so on that's meant for your level).
Also, as a bit of an unfortunate coincidence, the Last Board of Falconreach gives you access to Stone weapons, just like the Bandit Blade upgrade does. Also at level 11. And you should have that, hopefully, which works really nicely to get past Vultragon as well, go figure, but the same issue ends up being present for that. (The lower tier ones are at level 7,so it's not like they're no usable or anything ofc)
