I am so freaking bored of Shadowbringer's story

[Vahlnir]

I'm not sure I get the Alisaie loathing I'm hearing.

I loathed Alphinaud in ARR, he was an arrogant little prick who thought he knew everything, and Elai was in a permanent state of wanting to drop kick him. But she grew fonder of him in HW - he can't be all bad if Estinien likes him - and now he's sweet but hilariously inept sometimes still. Alisaie is just hilarious. I love the way she cuts him down to size. I love her passionate conviction. Her hero-worship is also very entertaining. If I'd just had Alisaie and Yugiri with me in Doma, I'd have enjoyed myself a lot more than having to put up with whiny annoying Lyse!

But I don't believe anyone has plot armour except the PC, after they killed off my 2 favourite characters in HW. That had real impact for me. So I do get worried that other favourites will come to a horrid end. Also, to be honest, I adored Emet Selch - he was funny and fascinating and compelling - and I really longed for a final twist where he didn't have to die, even thought I knew it wouldn't happen. And that was a real turnaround for me because I couldn't stand him in SB, I was furious about the whole Emperor is an Ascian thing because I felt it was never foreshadowed, and I sulked when I realised he was going to be in ShB

I can't say I dislike Alisaie, but out of them all she is far from my favorite. She just seems...forced I guess at times. I get it Alisaie, you've got mad RDM skills and you are just so totally awesome and stuff. Good for you! (Still don't care!) And sure, we had an adventure together with the forgettable Lyse, but I still don't feel like she's my character's friend. She gets shoehorned into the action a lot and acts like we're best pals. I'm guessing we're supposed to be, but I just don't personally feel it. Then again, I feel like I would get along with Gaius just fine so...there's that. He's less about talk and more about action now. It's probably just a matter of preference I guess. Up until Shadowbringers I didn't really like many, if any, of the Scions. But now? I don't detest any of them. In fact, I actually like them all now...Alisaie is just at the bottom of the list because of the reasons I've stated. She could be a better character imo if she took things down a notch instead of running around cranking things up to 11 everywhere she went. Think that's why I like Y'shtola. She's got a relatively calm demeanor, and she doesn't need to remind everyone of how awesome she is. She just does her thing and continues about her business.
