But I think the second half was where the story failed to deliver. She should have made a real blunder trusting Sphene even more than she did, and really pay for it.

I'm disappointed that all of that journeying in the first half resulted in almost no pay-off character development-wise for Wuk Lamat. I wanted to see her newfound experience applied in new ways. I didn't want to just have another 5 levels of the same "I want to learn about you and come to an understanding" without learning what it means to be betrayed by Sphene.

TLDR: I liked her before she became Dawnservant. The second half of the story was a wasted opportunity to utilize her character better.
The worst part about the second half of the story is that it completely undid all of the progress she made in the first half. We were helping her become the Dawnservant because she's a good leader for her people, and in the second half she comes with us to fight Zoraal Ja/Sphene and her people didn't even need her, her brother Koana handled everything just fine on his own, even making strategic alliances to protect the people and stuff. Why did we even help her become the leader of her country if she is not even needed then???

This is why stories like Shadowbringers worked so much better, we had multiple plot points and storytelling spread out across multiple different characters, instead of just one single character doing all of the things, succeeding at everything, and never failing. The story in Dawntrail is incoherent because they tried to do TOO MUCH with Wuk Lamat.
