Anevia - constantly lets mysterious figures infiltrate and interrogate various members of the camp over days/weeks worth of time - totally knows the queen was there, disguised all along.

Irabeth - Quivering and pissing herself during assault on Drezen - her soldiers literally had to take charge, try to their best to bolster both their own spirits as well as try to take care of her. Her men led while she cowered, quaking in her own filth. Then after the battle is over it's just back to business for her, except for a "No... my apologies commander. That is all." That ISN'T all. There's a pike on the northern pallisade. Get on it.

Anevia - Magically transgender trope, spoilered as it isn't revealed during ch 1-2 - when she's first introduced she's of course, suicidal. Yeesh. Cringe.

Dialogue choices constantly and consistently incorrect. No other way to phrase it. Lawful is not fun - Good, Lawful, Chaotic are jumbled up constantly, with only evil appearing halfway consistent. Many times the most acceptable option is the non alignment shifting option, which feels less rewarding. I want to participate in the shifting alignment meta - but why. What's the point.

Everything about Nenio sucks. Anime psychopath magicianologist. This dud would jump into an industrial sausage grinder claiming it was for science - and the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game wouldn't let me let her. JUST LET HER KILL HERSELF. PLEASE.

Staunton. For 75 years, Staunton has been living in shame in the precise vicinity of his disgrace. Despite being unfathomably tough and resoundingly senior - he remains a simple, perpetual soldier surrounded by peers who constantly bully him, and in a position where others are required to trust him with their life whether they like it or not. For 75 years he stays in direct proximity to the men and women and pedigrees which he betrayed. He does not change his job, move, or perform any action to change his scenery. Just... stews in it like a masochist, knowing the people surrounding him can't do anything about it either. Then one day, the demons show up and act like demons, and he's all in. He's angst-crying about how all the crusaders are bullies. Good lord. You literally allowed hell on earth and stick around like a cancer - refusing to leave. At least the alternate-take backstory located here makes a hell of a lot more logical sense: https://adelaide-wrath-of-the-righteous.obsidianportal.com/characters/staunton-vhane-1

Nurah. Another toad. She was enslaved and treated poorly. Somehow becomes a scribe and decides Demons are super cool - LETS BETRAY ALL CIVIL SPECIES! Proceeds to enter into a collaboration with literal hellspawn, actively directing the torturous abduction, enslavement, torture, and murder of countless people in an effort to end all life on the planet. Witness to the horrific mutilation, forced surgical rearrangement, torture, murder, and consumption of countless higher-sentient lifeforms - she's proud of it. And the LAWFUL option on what to do with her? "Jail time!"

At what point do we have to stop apologizing for lazy, uncreative writing? The companions are mostly flops. A handful are mildly interesting, such as Ember - but when I say there's a few companions where it's a struggle to remember they even exist - I'm paying them a compliment.

At least the gameplay is decent. ::notices the cavalier banner buff from a respec 30 hours ago:: Ok well, I mean it's not like characters get stuck in animations or anythi...

Ok ok, I mean it's not Cyberpunk level!

"In Chapter 5 don't skip the scene of getting a Mythic level, it may break the game:"
