    -Not necessarily...

    What constitutes "good writing" and "bad writing" are somewhat subjective, so trying to apply an objective criteria to determine those is bound to fail.
    Would saying that Zenos would be underwritten be more objective?

    I suppose it depends on what a given person would feel is "sufficiently written".

    Subjectively for me, Zenos falls under the category of either being under-written, or sufficiently written, but there's simply not much there. Which almost directly leads into the criticism that if he feels this under-written after an entire expansion about him (not counting whatever is in store in future patches), then there might be a problem with narrative pacing.
