Please, no more Wuk Lamat

[Burmecia]

"Hi i am a Hrothgar Female which travels over an entire ocean even though i am sea sick very easily to ask the WOL if he helps me seize the throne of my Country which i do not know in the slightest even though i have no idea if he/she will agree.
Not to mention my personality of a 10 year old."

...
No no, you don't understand. You see, she likes smiles and happiness.

Something like... "Don't be happy by yourself - be happy for me who is happy for you. Mine is the glee which will pierce the heavens!!"

I went into DT expecting the worst from the overall feedback but honestly... I really liked not having yet another nerd character metagarbling away at us, of which there are far too many as is.

Wuk was refreshingly grounded and sentimental.

I don't get the hate. She has annoying moments but a lot of people hating because of the VA. She's not as annoying as Zenos.

My opinion is that a lot of the hate comes from how she's always in-your-face in pretty much every scene in the game. Even when we were suppose to go off with Erenville, and the whole thing with Krile's parents, they managed to focus on her again instead of letting them have their moments. The expansion was hyped up for Krile especially so for her to barely get any story was kind of a let down and people blamed Wuk Lamt. Also Wuk Lamat comes off as a bit of a Mary Sue. Everything goes her way without her really even trying all that much.

As for the hate for the VA, I think that's really more about her performance than her as a person. Yes there are likely some that dislike her for who she is, but most didn't like the performance before they even knew who the VA was. For me personally, I felt the TONE of the VAs voice actually fit. I wouldn't expect a hulking lion lady to have a high voice. But the emotional performance is where I found it lacking. Some scenes needed high emotion and it just wasn't there. The scene where Galul Ja Ja (sp?) dies she was suppose to scream "PAPA!!" like she was emotionally devastated. But the VA just whispered it. I just feel the VA was a bit green and needed some refining on her work.

Anyway, sorry for the college essay. It's just all my opinion on things.

My issue is that I just feel most of her character development is spontaneous and/or not actually done on screen... Which for as much screen time she managed to hog is actually quite crazy.

Wholly independent of the voice acting, Wuk Lamat as a character comes off as a poorly written self insert Mary Sue.

As much as I dislike Zenos as a character, I would much rather him return than deal with more Wuk Lamat. At least Zenos is treated in the story as a rival and the other characters treat him accordingly. Everyone, including the WoL, inexplicably adores Wuk Lamat in a way that feels completely unearned.

Semi related but I'm surprised there wasn't more pushback over her and Sphene spending half the latest story chatting with each other and then comboing to break down the aether barrier. Maybe people just kinda gave up on caring.

That's because first, it was appropriate to the story and Wuk Lamat wasn't sucking all the oxygen out of the room and second, the later action was immediately followed by BADASS CUTSCENE ACTION WoL. We can collectively forgive a lot when we get to see our character actually get to do something in a cutscene.

Yes, my main takeaway of the positive behind the themes and setting brought over by DT was around souls. I genuinely love Origenics for it. This had so many implications and truly felt like a disturbing endgame to get through.

The back half of DT reminded me a lot of how I felt playing through Solaris in Xenogears. I would honestly not have been very surprised to have found out at some point that the pouches of vaguely grape-flavored slurry sold everywhere was actually made of corporeal aether.

I did get sick of Wuk Lamat's omnipresence, but she's not doing that now, so I don't mind seeing her show up occasionally anymore.

She has more lines and screen time in one expansion than Zenos does from SB to EW, and he is a much more important character
As a huge Zenos hater, I'd rather have Zenos back with his weird one-sided rivalry than the lion airhead

People just have an extremely tough time figuring out what exactly is wrong with Dawntrails story, so they usually jump to the easiest thing to complain about, which is wuk lamat.

In the future there is only 2 ways.
Either the story improves and people feel justified for hating wuk lamat or the story does not improve, even without wuk lamat so people seek out the next single thing that apparently is the sole reason for ruining it all.

Yeah no i can't find anything to appreciate her. She has no buisness trying to get that throne her Miqo Brother is much better suited for.

Her brother is ill suited for leadership. He has the charisma of an oyster, isn't a people person (which isn't a character flaw, but certainly one to lead a country), and is actually pretty slow for everything that's not about science or technologically inclined tasks.
