    Whoa! I haven't seen this thread in a while. Kinda makes me wonder when this questline will be continued. It has been a while ...

    This.

    Also, at the time, there was an untrustworthy and unfamiliar in-game character saying one thing and game developers in the Q&A saying another, and neither of them were completely clear on the matter. It caused a lot of polarization in the thread.

    Hopefully 3.2 will bring some juicy new information since we're apparently facing one of these eikons of old...

    As a side note, I had missed the additional dialog you can get from him outside quest conversations, and if I was hoping for any clarification it just left me confused - when asked why he was chosen despite being so young, he says he has "an intimate knowledge of the primal mind" and also says, preempting our apparent curiosity, that "you need not understand the nature of a power to use it, do you? It is much the same with the Echo, I imagine." Infuriatingly enigmatic so many months later.

    I always found this, in particular, to be a very questionable comment and a pretty firm basis for not trusting him. I mean, that's like saying, "you don't have to know how a gun works to actually use it, right?" Well ... strictly speaking, you're not wrong, but that's not exactly the most responsible attitude towards the topic ...
