Q17: Will you be adding more to Edda's story?

Her ending does not have to be a happy one.. though I would love to see her get her wedding. :) Even if it was a... creepy wedding? o.O;

But first of course Avere must apologize for being a bit mean towards her! :mad:

Who is Edda?

I'm sorry that's all you got out of that, but I'll argue that also offensive is reducing the entirity of events and their character down to singular tropes. It's hard enough to get people to take characters who aren't strictly White And Male taken seriously or viewed as full characters.

It wasn't even much of a fixation on her boyfriend - it was a fixation on the entire adventuring life. It was specifically stated that while the other three viewed adventuring as a means to an end, adventuring WAS the end for Edda, the goal point. She wanted the happy fantasy of dear companions and endless adventure and heroism. Avere was only a part of that - but if he was the only thing that mattered to her, she wouldn't have bothered reanimating Liavinne's corpse or trying to get whatshisname the Lalafell to join them either.

She didn't exactly have her dreams shattered lightly. She had them shattered right in front of her, arguably because of her actions (or inactions), and then had those dreams stomped on by the other people who were supposed to be part of it. All she had to show for it at the end, after that traumatic event, was Avere's head - one reminder of what could have been. And which evolved, in time, to her to be a chance that it can still happen.


Either way, I am not down for Edda being redeemed. If we do get a happy ending for her I want it to be at a point where we actually do have to straight up kill her to stop her, no ifs ands or buts, and we get a brief glimpse in the end of Avere greeting her in the afterlife and them both finally getting to pass on. That's about the only 'happy' ending to the tale I'd accept at this point.

As much as I love Edda and her story, I just want to see them put this kind of amazing storytelling into more characters in general XD

If they were to continue her story, however, I want to see it go darker...>.>...

I don't think she can be saved. She looked like she crossed that threshold between "saveable" and "yes, this character is going to die by your hand somewhere down the road". They could go the "comically creepy" route, but if they did they may as well let me kill her because I would absolutely hate to see her become that type of character.

I want to save her from the Darkness, but that doesn’t mean i have to succeed. (^_~ ) There are multiple ways to follow up on the story. Like others have said in this thread, making Edda a new villain in the game is a very interesting idea. The story doesn’t have to have a heppy ending.

(Even though i feel sorry for her...)

All in all, we all want to see more of her, since the story revolving around Edda in The Tam-Tara Deepcroft was a success indeed. (^_^ )-b

I just want to do my utmost best to save her.

Random thought of the thread:

The implications of Edda being present if there's a somewhat involved quest line to get Eternal Bonding unlocked when it's released. {Hmmm.}

Our Free Company has an Edda Pureheart and Avere Bravearm.

The best part was when someone made Edda our free company was nuts enough to invite her. And half the free company was like "THIS IS THE GREATEST THING" and the other half was just "NOPE" [x has logged out]

The Sorceress Eddamecia...
