Deadwind Plots and Hooks



...

What? You thought by the title that this was going to be about storylines and player-character incentives?? THINK AGAIN! It's about fishing. The ultimate expression of FREEDOM!! You don't get plots and hooks and plot hooks in Deadwind, it's too chaotic. Instead, we get fishing.
