Likewise, the fact all these people's problems would be kinda solved on their own isn't the point (and also isn't true, the resolution of blessed siblings and the redemption of Bakool Ja would *definitely* not have happened without Wuk Lamat being there with some lessons she learned from the WoL, and that is a major status quo change for the nation), the point is that it illustrates a philosophy the game has about leadership through Wuk Lamat learning it. Its... honestly a pretty basic narrative, "the test is a lesson," but it is a tried and true narrative and saying "the story would be the same if everyone failed the test because everyone actually didn't strictly need help" strikes me as an almost... Cinema Sins style 'plothole ding' complaint that ignores how narratives work.
Huh, are you sure we are her mentor? Or did you mistype 'Cheerleading Slave' ? This 'mentor figure' is being used by Dawntrail defenders alot
