The Negative Impact of Poor Character Writing on the Quality of Dawntrail's MSQ

[koko-on-da-forumz]

I think a whole new team of Wuk Lamat, Koana, Krile, Bakool JaJa (after some time), Otis and Sphene would have been interesting. Throw in G'raha too and Estinien if we need some scions.
That could have been a good dynamic. some kind of "new scions" if only just for Dawntrail and would have captured really nice the sense of "new adventure".

I'm going to go out on a limb and sayu that this would have been terrible too. The writer can not handle writing one character well for significant screentime, much less six. Otis and Sphene are some of the worst, laziest characters to enter our presence. Bakool Jaja started as a Speed Racer tier villain and heelturned after one chitchat. Koana is more of a symbol to communicate a theme than a character. Wuk, obviously, everyone hates.

I don't understand the fan commitment to Krile. She's fine. She was always fine. She's no more interesting or less interesting than the other Scions--at least until Dawntrail where her entire backstory was rewritten to be bad tearjerk fodder rather than a suitable catharsis.

They're all bad, they've always been bad.
