The names she gave the others are "Big Red," "Funny Yellow One," "Eat the Weak," "Horn Guy," and "Hamster Man" - she keeps forgetting Shadowheart, Halsin, and Jaheira exist, so they don't have names...)

      Oath of redemption in 5e talks of not killing unless it saves other lives lorroakan wasn't a threat to the greater populace
      Wisdom. Your heart and mind must stay clear, for eventually you will be forced to admit defeat. While every creature can be redeemed, some are so far along the path of evil that you have no choice but to end their lives for the greater good. Any such action must be carefully weighed and the consequences fully understood, but once you have made the decision, follow through with it knowing your path is just.
      I'd say lorroakan is an ass but not so much evil as greedy, he does an evil act sure abusing Rolan and trying to trap nightsong but compare him to orin or kethric who are both beyond redemption

    I do find Wyll's original story potentially more interesting, but I get why they changed it. EA Wyll was Machiavellian at times. He seemed to perform heroic actions out of a desire for prestige more than a desire to do good, was constantly bragging about himself, and most of his actions were self-serving either to himself or his image as the great hero. That explains why he was such a terrible Flaming Fist and why he was willing to torture a man for information in the goblin camp when nobody was watching, but laid on the big hero persona thickly while around the tieflings and the party at the start of the game. Even his pact with Mizora was made for selfish reasons, not out of a desire to help anyone. The developers wanted there to be some good-aligned companions in the game for variety, but "good" doesn't have to mean morally perfect. I feel like the developers could have struck a balance between the two versions where he retained some of his Machiavellian characteristics without outright being Machiavelli's prince.
    Then again, given that launch gave us an unambiguously good-aligned companion in Karlach, the developers changed Gale's personality to make him less manipulative (there's still a little bit of manipulation at the beginning when wants you to give him magic items, but in EA he was manipulative in practically everything he did, including getting the PC to sleep with him), and they slightly tweaked Lae'zel's personality to make her less hostile, I'm not even sure that would have been necessary. Old Wyll would have worked in this group without making it feel like you were surrounded by nothing but jerks.

      Honestly I think early on Gale is just true neutral - he's not evil but his concerns are pretty self-centred.
      With Wyll I think his EA personality would have been too similar to some of the other ones. I think the main issue is that he doesn't choose his own fate later on (with regards to the second contract). And his sidequest has almost nothing to do with him personally.

    Honestly I'm one of the people who liked his original storyline better. It was interesting, and added a lot of good complexity to his character. He wasn't simply a nice (if a little bland) guy who made a poorly considered deal with a devil, he was a more fleshed out, complex person who wanted to be a hero but struggled with his overwhelming desire for revenge.
    Imho dealing with internal struggles like that just offers more for a character than making a bad decision. Though, maybe that's a result of changing his character and story so significantly so late in development.

      And Wylls stance on Goblins in early access really gave you an incentive to bring him along to the goblin camp, for some cool interactions. In release i didnt find so many interactions with him and the goblins unfortunately.

      Yeah, those scenes cemented him as my second pick for both the EA Act 1 party and romance. Slowly revealing that he wasn't as close to his ideal of being a hero as he'd like, and actually standing up to the player character even if you successfully persuade him to leave the goblins alone? Amazing. Yes please, I like my companions complicated, thorny, and opinionated. Theorising about where his story would go and what his relationship with Mizora was supposed to be was fun, even with Astarion being my first pick for everything it was Wyll's arc that I had the most interest in.
      I stopped playing early access and blocked news about BG3 (before the rewrite happened) to avoid the kind of early access fatigue I can get with some games, so finding out about it through not seeing any of those scenes on release day *sucked.* He went from one of my favourites to a background character in his own questline. Even if they add more to him in the future, he's not the same character I was interested in and I'm still salty about that.

      I was so excited for Wyll's ''Hero's Journey''! A guy who calls himself a hero but at the same time does not commit good acts only out of pure heart but also of the desire to be viewed as a hero. Really realistic and complex approach. People do this in real life too. We do something good but deep inside we just want to get praised for doing something good. Really wanted him to eventually learn what it means to become a TRUE HERO. Also his ''pride'' and accent in EA made me like him even more. He was really ''posh'' in my opinion.

    I've always been conflicted about Wyll's characterization change. In general I prefer more morally ambiguous and flawd characters, but the party as a whole in early access leaned heavily on ambiguous (understandable since they were all playable and could make "good/evil" choices), so having a more classical hero archetype made the party feel more balanced.

  • @AndreyKrichevsky
    @AndreyKrichevsky 3 месяца назад

    The individual Barbarian screams are cool. I find it even cooler that each character also has their own recordings of spell incantations, including dozens of "Vicious Mockery" insults (including NPCs. Aunty Ethel even has her own custom insults!).
    I also like that your spellcasting animation is different depending on the class you're playing, since the different casters draw their power from different sources. And your weapon attack animations and climbing animations depend on your race. Elves are more graceful then humans. Halflings and Gnomes are shorter so they have to adapt to the larger ledges and weapons.

That, and maybe I'm still just a bit miffed by how EASILY Wyll's beef with his father is resolved. Like, "oh, you mean I just had the wrong idea the whole time? i'm sorry, you were right, carry on saving the world," the end.
