every day i think about the ansur plot in act 3 could've actually had emotional weight if larian studios gave a shit about wyll. damn.

#like the whole gauntlet is about expressing the type of heroism that wyll has striven for his entire life. #the way the quest is so prototypical in it's fairy tale sensibility of the honest and true hero awaking a dragon under the city and - #saving the day and he goes through this whole gauntlet that's a test of how well he ascribes to the ideals of balduran and his father - #and everything he ever clung to to validate himself to himself after being coerced into mizora's deal as a 17 year old kid and then - #he succeeds! he passes the tests! only to find that ansur (literally named answer) is an undead abomination you have to put down #like it's SO SAD. and to me a big part of his story is accepting who HE is. seeing himself outside of his deal w mizora or what his father #wanted him to be and the fact that wyll isn't allowed to have a big emotional reaction to the ansur situation is so annoying #in fact wyll doesn't EVER get to have an emotional reaction to anything bc larian studios doesn't care enough to flesh his story out - #despite giving him one of the most interesting ideas for a character in the game! like act 3 should be WYLL'S act! he's so tied into - #everyone important in that act that it's actually a crime that he's sidelined the most there and he doesn't have enough vocal fans - #that larian studios will ever care enough to patch his story or add anything like they did for karlach or astarion. it's so dumb. #and it sucks that the writers don't recognize wyll's abuse bc his abuser is a hot devil lady. what she does to him is sick. god. #anyway. whatever. #baldur's gate 3 #my posts #.txt
