Wow, Wuk Lamat is really single-handedly ruining the DT story...

I already can't wait for the first MSQ quest of 7.1 to be this:

"Talk to Wuk Lamat."

You are so yesterday.
The modern thing to look forward to is her being big in the center of the patch artwork with all the others kneeing and looking at her in awe.

The first quest also won‘t be „Talk to Wuk Lamat” it will be “You are now playing as Wuk Lamat”.

I actually really love Wuk Lamat. At 1st I also was over her character as she didn't seem interesting- I've gotten through the story & she changes. There is character growth & not a continued "confident, loud character" trope, although there should have been more in-depth writing with wuk lamat from the start.
At least she's not Y'shtola- who is a literal mary sue & never suffers thanks to plot armor

[ThorneDynasty]

I'll take the "Mary Sue" that gets kicked out of the story for most expansions right about now, thank you very much. They put that cat to sleep so many times.

Seriously, when does Y'shtola take the spotlight except when we need a magic version of Cid? When we are rotating through every Scion's character moments?

[MatthiusAbysswalker]

Y'Shtola is the best scion.

[Ramiee]

Y'Shtola should of taken Papalymo's place.

[Godzillaxpowerrangers]

Y'Shtola is just a fussy cat cat.

[Mnemy]

We put Gauis to shame on how fast we can besiege an enemy civilization, take their capitol, kill their monarchs and install our own puppet government. Makes me chuckle a bit.

I never thougt my WoL would end up playing the game of thrones in DT. Goddamn

She absolutely does not grow. At all. She acts the same way at the end of the story as she does at the start. None of the lessons she 'learned' are ever applied.

Oh boy! She talks to us about her feelings once! Woohoo! Some major growth that LITERALLY NEVER AFFECTS ANYTHING.

[Keiizah]

Point to me literally one time WoL acted as Wuk Lamat's mentor. I wish there had been at least a single solid instance of that, because that was my assumption too, that it would turn that way. Which kept me giving undue slack to the writing, but it never turned out that way despite my constant expectation of character/relationship development just around the corner. I assume the people saying "WoL is like Gandalf" are 100% headcanoning it, because it seems like the obvious thing to write, but when did they write it?

Like so many things people defend the plot with, WoL being a mentor figure to Wuk was strictly tell-don't-show. And even the "telling" part was just Gulool asking us to look out for her once. I'd argue we aren't even told we are her mentor.

We do get a moment of "mentoring" right before the last zone, where we kinda help her with her feelings of grief. Ironically she's the only character we allowed to support in such way (Erenville and Krile?Koana? yeah who cares, you shall care only for Wuk Lamat). But after that we go back to being a carton cutout
