I really like the majority of the storyline in Storm King's Thunder, but there were a few things I wasn't a fan of. I would love to hear some examples of where you've taken creative liberty with the story for your party. Mostly I didn't like chapter 2 so we recruited giants to our cause. Here's the short form of what I've done with our campaign.
After saving Nightstone from the Zhentarim, Zephyros appears with none other than the wagon driver that took the party to Nightstone. He calls himself Hoid, but says others know him as Artus Cimber. They recruit the party to restore the Ordning, and convince them that they'll need some help from some potentially friendly giants. They are sent to recruit Moog, the hill giant, promising to rescue her husband from Chief Guh in the future. They spot a dragon following them from the distance as Zephyros flies them around. Next they recruit the fire giant Kyra currently forging a statue for the king in Gauntlgrym, and are attacked by Zhentarim faction agents in the forges. Kyra will make giant slaying weapons if they bring her the ancient metal Alcheum, most likely found in the Spine of the World. Lastly, they travel just north of Mirabar to recruit Harshnag, who takes them to the Temple of Annam to speak with the Oracle. The Oracle tells them to get the Conch that will take them to Maelstrom, which Chief Guh currently has. They find the ancient metal Alcheum in the ice spider tunnels. What they don't know is that Iymrith has also taken over the Zhentarim faction, and wants the party dead.
That's where we're currently at!
