re: this post, I think the reason I’m so stuck on Eulmore’s involvement is bc I 100% thought ShB was gonna use the WoL’s biggest character flaw (debatably. but it’s their tendency to simply follow directions in pursuit of What’s Right:tm:) via the Exarch intentionally holding details back but you going along w/ it anyway both as a character growth thing and as a meta-commentary on the MMO player’s tendency to just follow quest objectives, but maybe that’s a bit much to expect outta an MMO VHSFVHVSFH

#long post #spoilers #not that Eulmore is bad but I still stand by what I said #I'm not sure I explained what I mean by commentary correctly but I only mention it bc it's the one thing abt the WoL #that's been mentioned over and over again since ARR.#like right before the banquet Rowena mentions you need to learn how to say no. The WoL's preference to simply follow the lead #is a direct trait that leads to the banquet plan even succeeding. the WoL's inability to say no and tendency to just follow the leader #is the direct point of 3/4s of DRK.#so up until abt Hol//minster I 100% thought ShB was gonna be the expac that finally uses that flaw to it's logical conclusion #and that the Exarch was gonna manipulate the WoL (and by proxy you since by mechanics you Have No Choice But To Follow Quest Objectives)#using their tendency to just go w/ what the Scions tell them to do and where to go and what to kill but it seems that's not the case #like I said it's not necessarily a disappointment persay bc it's probably a bit involved for an MMO storyline and I'm sure whatever's #coming up next will hit just fine but it's 100% where I thought it was going at first #saint.txt
