Sorry to get your hopes up! This is not a review yet, but it will be. I have grad school and other things keeping me from buying and playing X-2 right now, and I've been trying to avoid spoilers in the meantime.

However, a quick glance of your usericons revealed a few important details:

Fellow Mawrtyr.
Auron fan.
Lulu fan.
Paine fan (which goes along with being a Mawrtyr -- i haven't played X-2 but I have at least some idea who's who.)

I have a feeling I will be enjoying this story immensely, and I'm bookmarking it right now for future reading.
