    Yeah it wasn't Wuk Lamat herself that really got me, I didn't think the character was horrible - it was just the tediousness of the 100 quests being 90% fetch/speak to X person quests, which aren't really an issue when it is just a text cutscene because I will happy smash 0 on my numpad until every line has been uttered and the cutscene is over & read it in the chatbox - but the voice acted ones where you can only progress a single line at a time and have to wait for their animations to finish....ergh.

    Like 30+ quests where you and Wuk Lamat and/or the Scions have 2 minute long cutscene to discuss something that was quite literally already mentioned. Why god why...and sadly, it is pretty par for the course for the game. Like I've had a bunch of people in my FC share this VG post

    And every time I'm like "yeah that's the entirety of the MSQ just switch Wuk Lamat with your choice of Scion or Zenos". kiryu-dame-da-ne

      I feel the same way about Moenbryda, but at least there was some closure with her parents and Urianger in Endwalker. kitty-cri

        The best characters get killed before they even see through the expansion - happens every time. At least

          Since we're on the subject, may I ask why you don't like Krile? It's not a loaded question, I promise.

            Honestly I group her with Y'shtola and Graha - since they all share essentially the same purpose when it comes to the story.

            WoL encounters a problem > Krile/Graha/Y'shtola has a magical solution > Yay we solved it.

            I suppose the reason I dislike Krile more than Graha (although he is certainly up there - I am absolutely one of those 'I liked him more as the Exarch' players) or Y'shtola is because they have a lot more personality than just "magical know-it-all" and honestly, ever since like 6.0 Krile has taken a lot more of that role whereas Y'shtola can only be bothered if it is some sort of portal. Honestly think the whole reason they gave her PCT and yet fell flat on her whole part of Dawntrail was specifically because she has literally been a one-note character for 4 expansions but even then.. Honestly as a lala player I think I just get annoyed at how every living lalafell is either a cutesy know-it-all that is easily frightened (Tataru, Krile) or just irredeemably evil (basically every other lalafell else except Raubahn's adopted son) - there's basically no middle ground.

            I will say for the record though that I would've gladly traded the entirety of hot bunny boy and his hot bunny mommy's Dawntrail plot for the same amount of quests focused on Krile's parents and rightfully so, because what the fuck Square Enix you give us like 10 quests where he's being sad because his mom is dead but Krile's reveal was essentially off-screened; very cool let's go get them some ice cream Wuk Lamat - but still, she is probably my most disliked Scion lol

              I wonder if you'd like if Charity Nineheart was a canon story character.
