I think its pretty notable that the big "right of succession" that Wuk traveled overseas to find help with had us competing against two people who didn't take it seriously at all. And one person who dropped out of the race to simp for Wuk being the Hokage.
Like seirously what the fuck was that.
I was also very confused about why the Scions even accepted helping at all in a contest for leadership of a foreign land while having NO knowledge of the other participants aside from what the one hiring them said 'that ones bad'. I know we've helped budding leaders before, but we usually haven't outright gone 'okay this one should win over these others we know nothing about' and actively put all our efforts into making sure they win. I for one would have been very keen to know why Wuk Lamat didn't simply support Koana and instead chose to try for leadership herself. Did she not think Koana would want peace? I thought she was supposed to be close to him? (if they'd showed a flashback with Koana telling her that they should both participate to increase the odds of someone other than Zarool winning that may have helped) Also if she's so friendly and buddy buddy with everyone why exactly did she even need to hire the Scions? Shouldn't she have had friends and people she knew in her homeland that could have helped her? Come to think of it we don't actually see any friends of hers besides her family (including the nursemaid), and the guy who makes tacos? How is she so friendly yet so alone?
It also bugged me that all our echo bouts in this expansion were basically useless. We see flashes while someone is literally describing the event to us. Which usually makes us no better off than those who listened to the retelling. These did not have to be from the echo, you could have just shown stuff as they were telling us. Previously at least a chunk of our echo use would be things people weren't telling or were hiding, making our ability actually useful instead of us just having a headache whenever someone mentions the past. The one place it actually helped was where we recognized Kriles parents, that's it.
It is weird, and goes to show how self-contained and perhaps self-involved Tural is as a continent. They trade with the outside world but seem to know almost nothing about it. We've met Turali characters before DT, some of them write letters and go back home, yet information from the world doesn't seem to make it across the ocean or maybe they simply don't care because eh, everything's well at home. I've been doing a lot of side content and lost count how many times a Turali character finds out that the WoL is a pretty big deal in the outside world, actually, only to have no reaction whatsoever. If it's not connected to Tural in some way, they don't care.You know, thinking about it, does anyone else find it weird that we hear no reference to the Final Days in Tural. Like we get there, and we see no signs that it even happened. Maybe I'm miss remembering, as my brain is desperately trying to make me forget anything to do with this story.

Honey B. Lovely deserves to be new Dawnservant more than Wuk Lamat, actually the Raid-story is more interesting than the MSQ story. How could this happen?
She then later tells us that she's never been to Sharlayan and wants to visit sometime. Yeah, I think the continent is in great hands.I think its pretty notable that the big "right of succession" that Wuk traveled overseas to find help with had us competing against two people who didn't take it seriously at all.

I'm electing to believe that's meant to imply she wasn't in Sharlayan very long- basically in and out- and wants to return for a 'proper tourism visit', because the alternative is so dumb that I have to imagine myself dumber to imagine it. Artifact of the medium, basically.
I get that, I do. My issue is that the events of the Final Days was a Global event on the source. In the story it wasn't just contained to the locations we were located at, it was everywhere. There should be some evidence of the events.It is weird, and goes to show how self-contained and perhaps self-involved Tural is as a continent.

Yeah, and should have been felt a lot more due to how Mamook is.
