Total side note here: Other than being a bit long, I think that the Hodir rep chain was the best quest chain EVER.
I mean, you are essentailly tricked by Loki to get Thor out of his funk and bring him off the mountain. Really, how cool is that?
Along the way you get illusioned-up by Loki, mend fences for Thor with the Giants, reunite Thor with his steed, and even get to do some "Shaman Multi-Boxing" along the way. (There is much more, but it's been a good while since I did it.)
I liked it much more (as a chain) than even the Wrathgate chain, because it was a more cohesive chain of events that progessed as a story.
