A mentor to Wuk and Krile. While the story would focus on them we are key in their development being a mentor and a protector. I thought this would be how we would fit into the story tbh, They both have to learn something in their story. Wuk has to learn to be a leader while Krile has just entered the adventurer role.
Would of been cool to actually feel like a seasoned adventurer whose passing on knowledge while also seeking adventure.
They way you described how it could have been does sound actually like an amazing experience. It's a shame we are a figurehead, smiling and nodding and honestly each time my WoL smiles it felt like it was kinda condescending smile to a child who thinks they know and yet you do not want to correct them, too tired of speaking to someone who won't listen. Perhaps this was just my imagination. Honestly, it may sound like someone saying "they took my toys away from me" but it sort of feels like this, anything fun anything enjoyable that could have happened in the story was in some way taken away, and while I understand the mentoring part, it could have been handled in all sorts of ways where we as a character have things to do, rather then passively watch. The passive part was the opposite of relaxing, it felt like someone forced me to stay put - and this only made the usual not saying much and nodding a lot WoL experience painful. Before Downtrail it was at a times underwhelming, yet good enough but this time around when there was no space for any actions or meaningful interactions, the "voiceless" WoL experience feel not far away from the despair mentioned by the Endsinger.

Honestly, I wish it was just a April fools day
