I've come to really like Aida Forte and Creighton Sun. They make a terrific duo.
Creighton in particular has grown on me the most. In Convergence he appeared plainly virtuous - almost clich茅 - and characterless. At least this was my impression. There was a traditionalism about him, but rarely was it insightful. It felt textbook and monotone. There is nothing wrong with this; it's just that as Convergence was told, he seemed unremarkable compared with the Gella Nattai. In Battle of Jedha, however, I felt that he started to open up and come into his own. In the final moments of the battle, we got a bit more of a raw (and less guarded) glimpse into his personality; his speech was absolutely epic.
In Cataclysm, we see Creighton as old and wise and reasonably grumpy; indeed, we begin to see a Master Jedi with great skill and experience, who, while dryly unsociable and deeply serious in his code of conduct, is also refreshingly sceptical and realist in his views of the galaxy. He's a proper leader. He'll fight wholeheartedly for peace, but he's also cynical enough to understand that peace and justice are not innate features of a system with many vested interests and power struggles. At the same time, he is astute and critically minded enough to be aware of his own cynicism, should it prejudice his view on a matter.
Going into Cataclysm, I was super interested to follow Creighton and Aida on their mission to Dalna. I'm now at the suspenseful point, and, to be honest, I dread what might happen. I really hope they don't get calcified.
at the start of the game karlach and astarion are absolutely fucking reeling from being suddenly freed and are in a state of manic joy that would probably seem alien to them like a week ago, while gale has been locked in his depression tower for so long he's almost completely forgotten how to talk to people. shadowheart has not a single fucking clue whats going on because shar keeps slurping up her memories and lae'zel is literally in the midst of her ultimate nightmare scenario and trapped on an alien planet with a bunch of jackasses who have no idea whats happening. so almost everyone has experienced a situational personality shift and isn't quite the person they were a year before you met them. EXCEPT Wyll. Who is just like "this isnt even the weirdest thing thats happened to me this month." my man got scooped up, tadpoled, and slammed back and said "oh well, not gonna ruin my day" and went about his business teaching self defense to children and slaying evil beasts. He didn't even seem confused he literally did not give a shit. no urgency. He's like "I'll put that in my day planner but is gonna have to wait until after i hunt down this demon." When you recruit him there is no sense of "oh man we really gotta help each other because we have the same problem" he just would have said yes because you asked and he's wyll. Or because you told him he could kill mindflayers. He'd be like "sick" and done, no questions asked. Just another Tuesday for the blade.
first date idea: we look for for a small cursed boy in the forest and walk close together in the light of a magical lantern lest our bodies and souls be twisted beyond recognition by the darkness. do you accept yes or no
