Extremely disappointed with treatment of Krile in the MSQ

i agree, very disappointing. looked forward to krile but there wasnt anything. she was excited to carry her own weight in battle, but she was sidelined all the time. very disappointing.

we got like half an hour about her, but even then she didnt really do anything.

instead we got wuk saying the same stuff over and over again and a little cute boy without point.

I noticed this too, and really soon in the story as well. I don't hate Wuk Lamat, I just cannot believe how my favorite characters were treated in this expac. Why even have them in the story at all. I hop on to play with my husband still, but I don't think I can enjoy FF the same way anymore :(

Not a Krile fan really but I agree. This was her chance to really shine after being in the background/support for so long.

The party showed more concern for Wuk being afraid of motion sickness than they did for Krile or Erenville with their massive losses.

Really hoping to see more of a focus on Krile in the patches… I liked the rest of the story, but Krile’s part in the story just seemed too squished, and I hate that we didn’t even get to see when she was initially told about her parents. You don’t even really get to comfort her at all throughout the whole ordeal! As someone who went through Eureka, my character considers her a close friend. Not to mention poor Erenville. Krile at least suspected her parents were dead, Erenville thought his mother was very much alive until she wasn’t, and there was very little support for him as well.

Krile’s story was the thing I was most looking forward to in Dawntrail. I really hope it’s not over yet, and she will take the spotlight as we look into the key and its origins. The succession contest is over, it was a good hook for world building Tural. But I want the patches to go into the potential plot points introduced in the later half of the story.

Yeah the mishandling of Krile is one of the most annoying decisions for me in DT's MSQ. She even gets done dirty in the actual opening of the City of Gold. If I wanted to see classic characters get shit on so much in a story I'd go back to watching Star Wars.

Also Sphene is second in spoken dialog. Given how late she shows up in the MSQ that's impressive. Although I'm not sure if it's indicative of how well they fleshed her out in short time, or condemning of how little everyone else not named Wuk Lamat is in the MSQ.

Even as someone who, overall, enjoyed Dawntrail it's very hard to disagree with this element of the story.

I really do hope they explore it more - her time with her parents was hopelessly brief and we learnt very little about them.

Krile should NEVER speak again. She was always a dull character.

Well to be fair, WL did that even to the WoL, so Krile is pretty small fry in comparison.

Krile is probably my least favorite Scion. I can't never tell what kind of character she's supposed to be? A smart, sweet, easy going but attentive young girl or an overbearing, sassy middle age woman? A large part of the confusion is attributed to her English VA.

But even I felt sorry for her in DT. Krile is someone who has been stuck in a perpetual identity crisis about her role in the story, DT was supposed to be when she finally establish one ... and a certain someone just gobble up all the screen time instead.

I was really excited to learn more about Krile, and the reason I was excited and pushed forward during the MSQ was for Krile and Erenville. Sucks that the story went the way it did and now we can't take it back and fix all the writing mishaps. They needed to build up her backstory more, or let her shine more in scenes, but we're never going to get that. Best we can do is... nothing actually. Patch 7.1-7.3 will be all about Wuk Lamat and the little Prince or Sphene, with 7.4-7.5 about Wuk Lamat and w.e happens next. The writing seems to leave little room for Krile in the future too, aside from comments about what's going on or praising Wuk Lamat.

Wukkie needs to die, for others to flourish.
