Glad to see such a huge thread exists, trying to discuss the faults/problems with Endwalker's story or writing.

Initially I only saw Endwalker as having some bad pacing issues here and there, not liking a certain character, with some core problems/questions unanswered. To its current state, now all aging like milk.

I kinda hoped they were going to make it so that we find out that Hydaelynn had tempered us, and that the 'blessing' was nothing more than being tempered as well. But it was not so, it was just bad writing, to hamfist/force a character to be "so good", and "sooooo amaziiiiing!", she could do no wrong even in mass genocide. The codex speaks for itself, utterly disappointed how hard they try to force Venat on us, when she's clearly a genocidal psychopath.

God, I fear what they might do to Estinien, in the future, after looking at what happened to G'raha Tia...
