Dark Knight Representative

[Eloah]

Given the speculation of Arbert possibly being the voice talking to us in 4.4 (and also possibly the SHB trailer) it could be he ends up switching from WAR to DRK and represents DRK for SHB.

Ah yes, I forgot to consider him. He does fall in line with an already established character.

As for those saying we will represent the job, I personally don't think that will be it. Neither 1.0 or 2.0 had a focal job, and the developers have stated for 3.0, 4.0, and now 5.0 that these expansions have a focal job. The only way a job can get focus is if a main character, important to the story has that job. Sidurgu, Pipin, and Arbert are the most likely candidates. And since someone mentioned it, Arbert makes the most sense now.

We don’t even know if Arbert is alive. And while not every player character has been a Dark Knight, they have all been the “Warrior of Light” throughout the story.

What if it's Fray and they end up writing all the MSQ journal entries for the expansion

Too much meta writing Fray! You need me! YOU NEED ME!

Or worse, Fray and Miste doing notes together. The Unending Journey will never be the same...

We all need Fray so they can yell at people who take advantage of the fact that the WoL is disturbingly pliant.

Twin dooms visiting the Unending Journey...but at least we'd get that sorely needed fetch quest snark.

On the one hand, I think Fray is too angry and Myste is too depressive to be very entertaining.

On the other hand, I wonder if with enough personality tweaking, we'd be able to get some sort of Statler And Waldorf heckling going on as the sum total of our journal entries throughout our questlines.

True we don't know if Arbert is alive, that's what makes him a possibility. And Dark Knight, Warrior of Darkness, and Warrior of Light are all seperate things. Contextually, within the story, we can't be a Dark Knight and the Warrior of Light/Darkness, so an NPC has to be the Dark Knight. Gameplaywise, we can be anything.
