Venat is the right one". I just sit there dumbfounded for a while and went "F that". And I get even more salty that we don't even get the option to say farewell and call his real name, meanwhile we have the option to do so for both Hermes and Venat.

Other people have mentioned it before; but yeah, this game attempted to present morally gray story/point of view, yet at the same time isn't brave enough to commit to the idea that the protagonist side isn't that much different from the "bad guy".
The characters “growth” in EW is quite disappointing. This is not the Emet-Selch I live in ShB. The Emet-Selch I know was determined, believe in his own course even have entire weight of the world on his shoulder he still believe in his path.

Elpis Emet-Selch have show such strong character but when we met him again in Ultima Thule, he is not the same. I would say Venat have the same issue, her character change to a very shallow in Ultima Thule.

Hermes is a poor written antagonist like a child throwing a tantrum, the meterion wrap up feel like writer want to throw a Six sense M. Night Shyamalan, but turn out to be a “lady in the water M. Night Shyamalan“

Writer try to build and wrap up all the story/plot base around the whole meterion/dynamis in one single expansion patch and all those “well build” characters got turn into shallow kindergarten writing at the very end of this patch
