I'm fine with this though since we are the playable character, so I don't mind being this powerful presence and enjoying a high status in the world.

A new NPC pushing us out of the spotlight as the player and getting immense completely unearned power is another issue that I find less tolerable.
We're not even "special", though, by the rules of the game. We're just one of a thousand WoLs who have done great things across the history of the Shards. We just happen to have the advantage of being one of the Source's WoLs. Ardbert and his crew won so hard they actually ended up tipping the balance of their shard. It took a world ending cataclysm to "defeat" them, and even then, they crossed the barrier between shards to continue their fight.

Even Fordola, with her fake Echo, does what we do. They used her as a weapon to suppress Primal uprisings.
