That's quite the leap.

I love 6.0, it's one of the best stories in the games I've seen along with Shadowbringers. I also don't dislike Venat, as I've stated. But just because I love the story and characters overall doesn't mean I (or anyone else for that matter) won't have questions for some of them.

Venat was one of the most influential and respected members of her society. The idea that if she were to present the information it would've been immediately dissmissed sounds, honestly, utterly ridiculous. If she was as untrustable as some of you claim with the "no one would've believed" argument, how was she even allowed to claim the seat of Azem to begin with?? People holding the seat Azem could've had the reputation of peculiar individuals, but they weren't percieved as idiots or liers.

Also just because WoL wasn't shown talking for 20 hours about history of Etheirys doesn't mean they didn't provide the key information on what the modern world was like and what events led to the problem at hand. Venat wouldn't have known every single detail sure, but portraying her as a poor lamb with no power and with zero options when she practically held the most important cards in her hands... you do you, but to me it sounds like some kind of a poor joke.



And as for the section about main characters having a choice - I don't think there's anyone seriously expecting that SE will suddenly change the way they present narrative. Some of us just wish WoL could've been portrayed to be at least a little bit displeased with the way the events have unfold, that's it.
