I don't wanna spoil myself for the back end so I'll just put my current feedback here as that's what we're told to do.
Just IMHO and no offense to those who feel differently:
I feel like this character and the extreme amount of padding and has harmed an otherwise interesting MSQ. I keep thinking how much better everything could be if their screen time simply went to Krile/Erenville and more WoL agency. I feel like Krile in particular has been robbed blind thus far.
In the rare occasion Wuk Lamat isn't present the entire game flows so much better. Scenes can be taken seriously, conversations and concerns play night and day better. The moment they meander onto the screen the tone just plummets to frame her ignorance and infantilism as charming. There really was no exaggeration when people claim this character comes across like a toddler at times, at least in English with the vernacular and direction chosen.
I feel like there is a good MSQ here where you go on a real pilgrimage and do real trials with real rivalries and likable characters. Lowered stakes doesn't mean no tension or tedious.
Either way, here's hoping the back half is more satisfying and that the patch content is more satisfying overall. Positive points, because I feel like I'm being grumpy right now:
Great new visuals.
Great new jobs.
Great new music.
Great new dungeons... but lease more gameplay, especially in the field! Adventure!
