so I didn't know that if you even so much as trigger the waypoint for waukeen's rest and leave....florrick dies and you lose your chance to learn that duke ravengard is alive.

what's interesting about this is that although wyll is understandably upset at the possibility that his father could be dead, he is more openly resentful of his father exiling him in this unfolding of events.

the way he delivers some of these lines carries a slight tone of disdain I've not heard before, when he'd spoken of his father in corydalis' campaign, where the party saved florrick.

#bg3 #thoughts about media #this is so so so interesting and I hate so so so much that the narrative does not explore this more.#god I would LOVE if they fully delved into the complicated nature of being hurt by a parent you still love.#because the breathe of it is there. gentle. just barely felt.#they ought to give it life! that's such a relatable subject and we KNOW they can write complex narratives about abuse.#it would have set apart wyll in a good way too. because ulder hurt wyll but he can (and does) ultimately change his ways.#and wyll still loves him. even though what he did REALLY hurt him. which I think is SO fucking interesting!!!#NONE of the other companions have that. this would have been a unique exploration of the “toxic family” trope you see elsewhere.#I hate everyone who was involved in giving wyll the short end of the stick when it came to quest material.#I GET he was rewritten late. but a character who's so tightly tied to the core narrative should be a NO.1 PRIORITY!!!
