It seems I only post when I‘m mad, but I promise I’m having fun! Mostly.
Alphinaud and the WoL are in the same boat. Both had to flee over something they didn’t do; both had to leave most of their friends; both had to throw themselves on whatever mercy the Ishgardians might show. He expresses his sorrow over how badly things have gone, and sometimes other characters try to cheer him up, or they’ll talk about where he is in terms of determination/purpose/whatever. It’s okay that he’s sad, but as for the WoL feeling betrayed or lost or sad, I think the best I got was Haurchefant promising to cheer for me if I got scared during the trial. Alph did apologize at one point for taking my victories for granted, but he’s been taking ALL of me for granted. And that apology? Only came because Estinien told him he might be sending me to die. On top of that, he says he’s learned something, but we are following him around because he thinks he’s got the solution to this war. Has Alphinaud actually learned any humility? And why does he keep acting like I can’t feel? He ever think that his friend might need some support too? I guess saving his oblivious butt from dragons was the last straw. I’m not asking for warm hugs and pretty words about how everything will be okay. Just some acknowledgement that he isn’t the only one having a bad time. My life sucks too.
(Or do they treat her like she’s made of wood because the WoL is just THAT good at suppressing all her negativity, to the point only somebody like Fray would notice? That can’t be healthy.)
The thought of being stuck with this boy for most of the game gives me a headache. The only other video game headache I‘ve had was because of Kai Leng and the Illusive Man, and at least I knew I could wreck them at some point. We don’t know where the traitors are; downer Dewlala says Lolorito is off limits; they don’t want me to turn Nidhogg, who has been built up as this ancient half-mad winged horror, into chunky salsa because of this attempt to sue for peace... The sidequest Dravanians I’ve talked to are a nice family, so I don’t WANT to hurt them. Should I just try to be patient and see how much longer I have until things change? I only started liking Haurchefant a short while ago, but I wish I’d been around him longer.
(Should I teleport over to Fray and look for more rapists to turn into chunky salsa? One of the reasons I like Fray is that he’s actually interested in what goes through the WoL’s head -not the young master’s, just hers -and he offers no judgment when he finds something negative.)
TLDR: Sick of Alphinaud, when does the story ditch him and Heavensward get good?
