maybe i'm missing something but i swear to god gaius's inclusion and specifically being an albinauric has been breaking my brain for over a month now with how explicitly it goes against everything we know about how albinaurics came to be, their persecution by both the golden order and rykard, etc

like wdym he was a mentor to radahn and worked with messmer and went to the shadowlands but also the albinaurics are graceless and treated as outcasts by the order, esp when the game strongly implies they came into existence by some Nox/Carian shenanigans somehow so ?? ? ? ? ???????

#cinder rambles #sote commentary #< thats my dlc tag you can use for blacklisting btw #but like ??????? ??? ? ?? huh ????? ?? ?? ??#maybe its bc i'm writing the carian arc of FoR at the moment so i'm DEEP in the albinauric weeds but am i crazy #did i just completely misinterpret everything about albinaurics in the base game #i'd like to think i didn't #which just makes everything about gaius objectively worse as an inclusion imo #in addition to his absolute dogshit boss fight #but holy fuck this has been driving me crazy #and is like one of the main reasons i simply cannot take anything wrt the radahn plot in good faith as good writing #bc no matter how i dice it its BAD and lore breaking #unless gaius is a special snowflake who got to be an exception for ??? some reason ????#which is also bad writing so the point stands
