    I'm very curious how the people who say G'raha is being creepy would think about Aenor.

    ^ this....

    And as a woman who has dealt with creeps and unwanted attention... yeah no G'raha is meeting somewhat from his point of view a historical figure he's most likely only read about in Count Edmont's Journal (Estinien) so look at it from the perspective that he may see it as ... he's literally meeting history! He's meeting someone Like Abraham Lincoln or Napoleon etc.... he's literally geeking out.

    Edit: And to be quite honest I'd be acting the same way especially if I met my distant Cousin Paul Revere.

    Eh, there's a big difference between side characters doing such things and major characters doing it. G'raha just comes across as a creepy and weird to me. If we had an option to tell him to tone it down and maintain a relationship that is strictly business then that'd at least be something - but we don't, so his actions just come across as unwelcome.

    I'd also note, many of us didn't even consider him to be a very important character before Shadowbringers. I think there's far better characters that could have been chosen to have a close relationship with, so the over familiarity just feels forced to me.

    Now, if he looked like Sett from League of Legends? It'd at least be tolerable! Though G'raha was designed to be overly feminine and androgynous looking - both aesthetics that do nothing for me.

    I like classically handsome/ruggedly handsome men and pretty women. My character's tend to share those tastes!

    No, and this moment with G'raha and Estinien ruined what is probably a more import plot point: the meeting of Alisaie and Estinien which was played like a Pride and Prejudice meet cute. G'raha swooning to heros will not move the plot, but Alisaie and Estinien working out their preconceived notions and misunderstanding at their introduction in some part of 6.0 will.
