If by "best possible story" they mean a 30 seconds of unskippable bull orc talk then yes, they nailed it.
How difficult is it to let player skip this idiotic dialogue they heard 1000 times already, especially when 3 commanders come up at once and each of them has to tell his story..........
I just got the first one a few months back. One orc spawned with the ambusher trait, and proceeded to kill the crap out of me repeatedly. Eventually he was impervious to everything except explosions, so I started over. Frustrating, but memorable.
