Lyse vs. Wuk Lamat

[Turtledeluxe]

It has nothing to do with her being female and everything to do with her taking up 99% of the screentime. Yes, Dawntrail's character writing in general sucks, but Wuk Lamat is the one that is forced on you through 30+ hours of story.

Not to mention all of the writing bends over backwards for her. It's Lyse's sudden unearned rise to power x100.

If by x100 you mean you actually experience her rise to power? It's called the rite of succession. Aside from the off screen alpaca mastering (another flaw of storytelling in DT), you actually experience her rise to power. It's just stupid and full of contrivance. But so is nearly everything and everyone in DT.

As far as Lyse maybe my memory is wrong, but it's quite literally "I'm a boss now". Certainly nothing to close to earned, bad writing or not. Her ending feels earned by simple proximity to the plot, not her affecting it.

Wuk Lamat is certainly not a part of 99% of the dialogue either. The dialogue she isn't a part of suffers from all the same issues. Her being a major character really doesn't change much. The xpac story is just mostly weak.
