An NPC you truly hate with passion

[Kyohei]

There's no "camp" though..? What a funny way to think, we're all here in hope to enjoy the game and discuss it not to grow camps and be hostile with each other.

Anyway, going back to the actual thread, there's actually no npc I can't stand tbh but there are some annoying ones. If the elementals from Twelveswood can be considered npcs then it's definitely them on top of my list, if not then it would be Valens.

The elementals slipped my mind for a while, but I do actively dislike them after doing basically every quest that involves them.

They're wholly responsible for the EW tank role quest being necessary due to how fickle and unforgiving they are and sometimes they seem to just give people a rough time for no reason in particular, like that Miqo'te from the postmoogle quests.

The elementals get a pass though given the Elpis quests finally revealed what they really are: just broken Ancient familiars meant to communicate through the aether (a quest there involved dealing with one that was stuck in in what was basically a feedback loop that made it freeze and was unable to escape from - fixing the situation which caused that state allowed it to recover and continue with it's task), so it's possible that they were deployed into some kind of environmental management task that the Sundering broke their AI and thus they took "protect/regulate the environment" to the extreme.

Explains also how they're able to change people into padjal and turn the forest against them, they're using creation magic themselves (we know familiars can use creation magic - the loropitts use it). So, once again, blame the Ancients for things that are wrong with the world I guess.

Or just blame the lady that sundered them and made them go haywire in the first place lul
