6.2 MSQ Story Review

[Striker44]

So uh, the story didn't really bring up the issue of absconding with what is more or less the village leader from the 13th, take them to another plane of existence, and said leader is all "Nah, that's cool. Voidsent suck even though I have shown empathy to them in this patch :^)" Am I just dumb and missing something? The further past 6.0 I go the more the writing gets inconsistent. lol

I feel like it did. Zero pointed out several times that the 13th has basically become "every creature for itself", and all she really did was create a self-running safe haven of sorts with the one basic rule of "don't devour each other." From what some of those random refugee voidsent say, it's normal for Zero to not always be there, and they found refuge there specifically to be safe, so there's no need for Zero to be there for business to continue as usual. Meanwhile, Zero herself just realized that the Source is much, much larger and more involved than she had thought from her experience with Zenos, so it's piqued her curiosity to stay and learn more (consider how our WoL only rarely ventured back to the Source from the First in ShB, and only for the bare minimum of time, even though they could freely move between the two worlds). Zero shows some empathy toward the other voidsent in creating the refuge, but she doesn't ever seem to view herself as deeply invested in them; her door is just basically open for anyone who wants to crash there, but they're still basically on their own.

I didn't find anything inconsistent in the writing for this patch (at least MSQ-related - I still need to check out the new raid questline).

I would agree with you if it wasn't for the fact that voidsent are known to say "screw the rules, you have aether!". You also have the fact that a voidsent just wandered into the room and went "What happened to Zero?" with the scions responding "She's asleep, don't worry bro!" and then take her. It wouldn't be hard for anyone who is paying attention in the area to go "Oh, something happened to her during the fight with she-hulk and now she's gone... Time to feast m8s!" Also is the fact that even Zero knows that she is on Gold-pez's radar so it wouldn't be much of a stretch to assume that NotExdeath would go stomping around her village trying to find her. Again, the writing feels like full life consequences were an afterthought, lol.
