Koana will save the hhetso

[chizLemons]

For 'anyone', I'll raise you Erenville. His emotional intelligence toward animals as well as knowing their habits and patterns is undeniably a mark of his intelligence that we see repeatedly throughout 7.0 and the patch. As for Koana, I can agree that we don't see his moments on screen, though I'd venture he's pretty intelligent just by, I dunno, the whole fact we're meant to give suspension of disbelief to the fact that he's able to use the abilities we see in the instance.

Fair point about Erenville, I remember that one quest. Not in detail, but fair, it counts. Erenville was honestly one of the better written characters in the expansion. Most of my problems around him are actually how everyone else acts about him instead of his own actions. Though I do remember a few out of character moments, but anyway.

For Koana and everyone else though...no, I'm sorry, but I don't buy the "suspension of disbelief", or am I supposed to suspend disbelief about everyone and everything, whenever anyone acts weird or out of character? That'd be a lot.

I've been bothered ever since EW patches that any "smart" character just...never acted smart on screen, ever again. During the Zero arc, Y'sthola solves everything off-screen and then comes up with the solution at the start of the patch and makes us follow her. This happens over and over again through 7.0. Koana "protected" Tullyolal from the attack, but we don't ever see him doing anything. He is supposedly knowledgable and built a ton of stuff, but whenever he was on screen, he was either fanboying Sharlayan or his sister. She kept repeating over and over about how he was her smart brother...but I never see it.

And now, he is supposedly the HEAD OF REASON and a leader, and suddenly he is ready to throw his life away for one single animal he only got to know in the last few hours or so? How is that smart? Wouldn't a smart leader of a nation be able to put his emotions in check and think of a better way to deal with the situation?
