lol? Sendrax’s death was a heartbreak? To who?
Except there’s not and I’ve explained how there isn’t and point towards Karlach as an example of what to actually do with a character, so again I don’t understand what you’re getting at.
She does say she is technically from a noble bloodline. Which we got with her having the last name Lothar, but it seems like there might be more. I’m wondering if the ‘life’ she tried to escape from was possibly the royal family. Which would tie her in a bit more with Anduin’s story I would think. I haven’t done full research on her though so idk if there might be something that disproves this.
Worse yet for more than half the players that could easily get around that situation, there was no need for Sendrax to do that. Like that was just an actual ‘self perish’ choice she chose there.

This would imply that Blizzard is going to give us a plot twist, but they havent done that since we found out Onyxia was Lady Prestor in vanilla WoW. I expected a twist with the Jailer storyline, but no. Its all pretty straight forward.
I think they’re trying to portray her as healthily dealing with her traumas and for that reason the voice works. She’s Anduin’s foil. Oh, and it’s carry-over from Dragonflight’s optimism.
Finish your sojourner, hit the stay a while and listens, and actually pay attention if the story means that much.

It would be interesting to see Blizzard do a design series giving background on the making of a character. Was the personality of Faerin designed to be reminiscent of how Anduin used to be? She is very much giving MoP Anduin vibes, the always looking for the good, trust in the light, too good for this world Anduin. I just wish there was one time where he turned to the player and said, “Was I ever this annoying Champion?” The answer is yes, very much so.
Ironically not the healthy way to deal with traumas haha
except, there is. It’s just not what YOU wanted.

I did, 10chars
Except your achievements and lack of awareness of those elements existing say otherwise.
that’s again not how you write a story, for the 3rd time today, ‘You can’t just tell an audience what someone feels, that makes me sad and upset!’
Huh? Regular feminine is ‘grizzly’ to your ears?
I don’t think you can really compare a Karlach from a 100 hour game where she is/could be in the majority of that to someone who shows up half way through a 10 hour campaign( I dunno if that’s the length but you know what I mean). Karlach at the beginning was pretty positive too then act 2 and 3 you see more nuance.

I guess since Faerin (And by extension, almost all underground Arathi) are more on the “Hopeful” side of things. They’re not like the Silver Hand or Scarlet Crusades for that matter. They’re fighting for another day it seems. They even believed all is lost when even their most sacred sites are gone, hell, they were so scared of losing their towers to the void and thing it was a lost cause, and their other sites (Forgot the name of the open field but you know what I mean).
Honestly, I’m more worried about how the Arathi became half elves, and how Faerin is a “Lothar” and how exactly they got to Hallowfall besides the “The Light” beamed them there while stranded in the ocean looking for it.
again for the 4th time ‘you can’t just tell an audience what someone feels, that makes me sad and upset!’
I’m guessing you like disney starwars too

Not to mention Karlach is designed to be the main character in that story on a playthrough. Faerin was literally just introduced, and she touches on her failures and flaws.
The thing they’re complaining about is a popular trope. BG3 is exceptional, but that doesn’t mean Faerin is bad writing. There’s more here than just this character’s writing, which is probably some of the deepest this game has ever put out.
Oop. There’s the latest dogwhistle. Knew one of them would show up.

I’d like to think of the Lamplighters and the Arathi alltogether represent what the Scarlet Crusade was before the Dread Lords.
A group of people stranded in a hostile land trying to eek out an existence while exalting the Light which guided them there.
