Eh. Too much grinding in this one. Too many conflicting ideas between the forms that force both of them do things unnaturally. Like the Prophet wearing light armor and leveling smithing just so the HoonDing form won't be absolutely useless. Also the fact that it turns the HoonDing into an alternate form rather calling upon something greater.
I still think there's potential for the Party-less Party Leader (seriously, Bend Will is an absolutely phenomenal shout), but overall there's just too much going on and it doesn't fit together smoothly. Which I suppose you might be able to overlook if you're fine with grinding a few levels. But the smoothness of the leveling, synergy between the two later gameplay options, and just overall take on the theme just made the Way-Maker so much more enjoyable to me.
