Oh my goodness, this is too much. I agree with the criticism people have been voicing here so far, and now my snapping point has been reached. I started out liking her well enough in the very beginning, thought okay, this is the comedic chill start, we're doing worldbuilding and shenanigans, and soon everything will break apart in creative and horrible ways and there'll be plot, and Wuk Lamat will show more depth. Not only is that not happening, and I like her less and less and less with each zone, but she's also everywere. She does everything.
Like others on the forum, I enjoyed every reprieve so much, and then she's being pushed back in my face and taking over everything like a cat-shaped black hole.
5th zone:
I just made it to the advertised cyberpunk city, the one I'd been wanting to see and that partially made me hold out instead of just putting the game down and not opening it again. I'd been looking forward to this. And I'm stuck with her again. My actual friends, who I actually want to explore the city with, are literally all the other characters present that are not her. Give me my Scions back.
People were really right, this is an awful case of writers' pet; it's insufferable. Just go away!

Spoilers but
One thing that would've made the story significantly better is if we could have just ditched wuk after the level 95 dungeon and when the rite stuff is done with and replace her with Bakuul to give him a proper redemption arc. -

Imagine if the Exhart was forced to go with you and be the center of attention not letting other characters shine and appears on the last fight with Hades out of no were during the fight. Then proceeds to kill Hades.
That is Wul Lamat on this expansion. It would have been better if she was removed from after she got her kingdom. Se even tried to be the focus of attention during Krile story. -

I actually said "NO!!!!" when she insisted on walking around the second city with us. Seriously? I can't even do that on my own? Or choose who I hang out with? Every time I thought I'd had enough, there she was again. It almost ruins Tuliyollal for me because I know she's probably at the wol's door every three seconds.

Spoilers regarding the Dawnservant story. What I think about Wuk Lamat so far:
- Says annoying things with her annoying voice in every other quest
- A monotone voice that sounds strained when she's supposed to express strong emotions
- Needs babysitting. It was cringy for someone so incompetent to act like a main character in the presence of the world-saving WoL. A little humility would have gone a long way.
- Can't fight and gets kidnapped (Minfilia energy), somehow later learns to play WAR properly with no additional training
- On top of being less smart and less strong, needs constant emotional reassurance from sidekicks
- Pretends to be best friends / almost family when we met like a month ago
- Her one redeeming quality seems to be a desire for cOmMuNiTy and cUlTuRaL aCcEpTaNcE that everyone else on the continent is seemingly too racist to embody
- Why didn't Koana become the leader? He is level headed, a capable fighter, good at decision making and apparently liked enough to be accepted as a Dawnservant in the end. Him starting out stoic and gaining understanding about different peoples throughout the competition would have been better character development than Wuk Lamat learning to wipe her butt. I would have preferred to accompany him throughout the first story arc.
- I get that the point of the first arc was to watch her grow into a leader but in order for that to be enjoyable I would have needed to like the character first. But I didn't know her and she was not likeable. She did not make me want to do things for her, even though I'm used to doing things for random NPCs throughout the game. And she had not earned the place to talk about accomplishing things together with the power of friendship, because she was not a scion or a long standing side character.
- I don't hate the character but I do think she was poorly written and poorly voice acted. The outcome for this newly introduced Hrothgal side character could have been different so it feels like wasted potential.
At 97 so I can't talk about the ending yet but I have a feeling my opinion about her won't change. The rest of the story and characters seem interesting but sadly they get less screen time. -

The fourth zone has been my favorite so far, if only because I'm getting to experience it without being joined at the hip with WL. I know this brief respite won't last, but it's been a nice little break hanging out with Erenville...
