#WukLamatMustDie

[lolnotacat]

Here we got a polar wave so bad the water at the shore of our beaches froze and that ain't normal here.

But yeah, I'm still here regardless.

And Poochie still sucks.

I really hope you're in the Southern Hemisphere.

I really hope you're in the Southern Hemisphere.

I'm in south america yeah.

Which is why I've been criticizing the horrible accent as well but interestingly enough, that conveniently gets ignored by the defense squad... I keep forgetting the opinions of people of a demographic only matters when it aligns with specific ideologies.

If we pray and summon Baldicante he may be our savior and fulfill the deed

Womp womp. I don't like Wuk Lamat!!! I don't like character growth!!!.

Please, I'd like to see examples of character growth because after 1 playthrough and watching 3 more, I'm not seeing it.

I'll give you the fact that she doesn't hold her own against Bakool Jaja in her first fight with him, however I can hardly say that her second fight with Bakool Jaja is a by the skin of her teeth victory. The bigger issue at hand here is how her apparent growth in this area is handled by us, the player. She doesn't manage to give a competent fight in the way that Estinien does with his sparring against Balool Jaja. It's only when we control her for the sake of the story that she manages to actually prove competency.

If you want to disregard the fact that we control her for said fight, you have to take into consideration that after "Wuk Lamat" defeats Bakool Jaja, he has a borderline nervous breakdown and runs away crying over the images of dead baby river in his head. The larger issue here is why didn't he have this same reaction when he got gut punched by Zoraal Ja? You can argue that it's more cinematic and you'd likely be correct. However, this doesn't really prove that Poochie has managed any measure of growth, because she's not fought anything else on her own ever since this fight with Bakool Jaja. Even if I were to yield that she was the absolute hero of this fight and that it was because entirely of her own work ethic, which we quite literally never see her do anything to improve her martial ability in any cutscene or anything adjacent, we do not see her win a fight on her own ever again.

Regarding the fact that she seems to learn to "scheme", Poochie's ability to have any measure of scheming simply does not come to pass. At no point in time does she ever, EVER, decide to go against what Sphene says. She, almost quite literally, is so enamored with Sphene from the very moment that Sphene says "I love my people" that she disregards every other single red flag that raises quite violently against the darkened purple sky. If there was ever any possible notion of suspicion that was meant to be shown by Poochie towards Sphene, it was impossible to see over Poochie kissing the ground Sphene walked on.

At no point in time is Poochie attempting to learn about Alexandria and Sphene so far as to be able to launch a true counter attack against this potentially hostile empire. They popped into existence right outside of her doorstep and Poochie said "Oh hey there Speeeen. Show me how you make food and i'll give you tacos." The entirety of the time we spend in Solution Nine and the surrounding area is spent in awestruck reverence. There is not a single mention from Poochie as to how this all seems a bit suspicious. Poochie only mentions it's a bit odd when people die that others forget almost immediately. That is it. She had the perfect opportunity to say something was vile with this place when everyone literally forgot about Namikka the moment she breathed her last, but she decided to say "Oh hey. I want to keep learning about Speeen because she's such a good person." The fact that the woman who raised her from damn near birth died and was forgotten near immediately didn't seem to raise any suspicion until she walked away from the corpse and was it was out of view.

So far as Oblivion is concerned. They gave us no information outside of "We don't like Zoraal Ja. Also, here is a system of pipes to get to his domain." We don't use "their help" outside of getting to a glorified mail system that takes us to his front door. We don't use subterfuge to infiltrate his systems. We don't know any information from Oblivion outside of "zoraal ja not good." until Zoraal ja decides to move his army on to Turaal.

I have no idea where you got the notion that she talked her way out of the assassination intent of the Yok Huy. It is noted, from the very moment we make way onto the mountain, that they are no fans of Poochie, much less Galool Jaja as a whole. They are very open about this fact. Poochie would have been a proverbial lamb to the slaughter if she didn't have the quite literal walking nuke that was the WoL behind her. You say that she's learned that a ruler must take "unenviable actions" as a ruler at this point, yet what actions did she take? You can say that the fight with Zoraal Ja was as such but she wanted every single opportunity to try to talk him down until he, in a soul laden stupor, opted to fight with us because he needed to prove that he was the miracle child of a being that shouldn't have been able to birth anything.

Her big moment in the final trial does not show any growth at all. She quite literally claws her way through time and space to say "Speeeen! Listen to me!" and then desperately try to cling to getting Sphene to stop being a crazed murder robot. There is no learning there. Sphene is going to continue her path because she wants to save the Endless. Poochie wants to stop that because she thinks Speeen is a good person. There is no growth. She doesn't gain nuance here. She literally doesn't change her opinion of Speen from the literal very first moment that she sees her.
