I picked "That, I cannot deny" not because I wanted Zenos to be my friend. I picked it because my character is a socially maladjusted murder goblin who is just barely one step above Zenos in terms of bloodshed soley because his two firing neurons of a moral compass told him he'd get better fights if he helped other people in fighting. He is a violent feedback loop of people praising him for killing big monsters, therefore he kills even bigger monsters for that dopamine hit.
My WoL really is like Zenos, but unlike Zenos he had the environment that allowed him to be a better person. None of the other Scions, not even Alisaie, gets that.
That said, Zenos is absolutely not my WoL's friend. Fucker bathed in the blood of countless innocent people because he was bored. Get Fell Cleaved, loser.
After literal years of having to go along with religious holy wars and feudalist revolutions from the wrong side with no option to say “Uhh hey this Pope is obviously fascist”.
I enjoyed an option that let me say “My WoL isn’t some naïve lawful stupid do-gooder.” Maybe as long as I’m fighting powerful monsters and it ends up protecting people, that’s enough for me. Because I sure as hell can’t figure out how my WoL wouldn’t have immediately sided with Ysayle otherwise.
P.s. also fuck Zenos, boring character. The only interesting thing he ever even did across 3 xpacs was bust through the dimensions as Shinryu and goad me. I’m still not sure how Krile did the calculus on giving the last aether stockpile to a different murder hobo.
P.p.s also G’raha could not be more boring. Every xpac I’m going to continue dying more inside to be fanboyed canonically.

Wanted to say almost exactly this.
