I think that the narrative wants you to have this view. Asterion is flagrantly evil at first but then you hear about his backstory and you think “oh, well, there’s a bigger bad dude” but then

you learn that he’s such a bastard that even vampires don’t trust him


It makes you try to parse out how evil he naturally is vs how evil he is in reaction to becoming a free day walker.

Gale & Wyll both present at heroes in the narrative but the more you learn, the more you smell something fishy. Both seemingly come up with more “ph, btw, you should probably have known this two hours ago”

If you're not going to shut this down, at least change the title from "Why I effortlessly dislike Shadowheart" to "Why I effortlessly dislike women", so people know what they're getting in to here.


I will admit that I have been flip-flopping on joining this forum due to the lack of moderation and (in my view) near constantly inflammatory comments/threads


Things are not so bad here. Just gotta learn how to discern a hill not worth dying over and keep in mind that we are the vocal (and mostly negative) minority.

I did find the journey of parsing Asterion’s character interesting on a first playthrough admittedly. He started bad, looked like he may have some good, and then realized first impressions should be trusted.

In wyl and Gale’s case, I think it just comes down to the fact that, the moment a person is presented as altruistic, they are held to higher standards. Or just that the contrast in character traits will make the smaller ones stand out more.
