Quest Preview: The Bodysnatchers

For a quest about people snatching bodies, why are we fighting rats, birds, bats, and beetles/worms for 80% of the encounters. Shouldn't there be people trying to keep us away? We have enough of those enemies elsewhere. They're not fun at lvl 1 and certainly not fun at lvl 34. Otherwise, quest was short and simple enough. Everything seemed to work.

3 of the notes have the same text
I did this quest at R1 heroic and it felt smooth not obvious lag spots or clunky mechanics. Mob HPs and saving throws felt fine for the level range. The quest is fast and simple, and a few neat optionals to go for.
Bugs:
Notes having the same text across multiple of them.
No DM voice over in the entire quest but the words did pop up.

To start with a positive: The graphics work on all four of these quests looks quite good, providing fitting ambience.
Overall, I agree with Pirotessa above. Shouldn't we be fighting more body snatchers and less the usual assortment of vermin? If this is the first quest, it does a very poor job of setting the tone for the expansion pack. (Compare with Into the Mists or a Sharn Welcome.) Fortunately, the next two quests are considerably better.
The wall with the secret door leading to the locked chest doesn't reach the ceiling.
The puzzle at the end the quest is entirely unnecessary. It has no purpose connected to the quest (unlike in the next quest); it is merely filler.

I liked the quest on the whole, but would agree that it doesn't feel like it does quite enough to "intro" the area like a Sharn welcome or Into the Mists does.
Intrigued by the spirit that we get to encounter, and hope we get to see them a few more times throughout the xpac, the model is quite good. I would also echo what others have said, would like if a few of the vermin packs were replaced with more body snatcher NPCs.

Not much to say on this one other than the new wall textures look great.
I also have to echo my same comment in the Special Delivery thread about tile puzzles. New types of puzzles please, less tile puzzles that already exist everywhere in DDO's content.
