I'm a weirdo in that spoilers really do not affect my enjoyment of something so I usually have the problem of spoiling something myself... That said, I actually liked the guy everyone is talking about here, even before his reveal as a not so good guy. To me everything made sense and aligned up with what I knew about the character. However, there is that trend that the mage companion in a game is going to turn out to be evil or hard to work with. For 3example, a character from the same franchise that makes me want to tear out my hair cause he forces the player into a position where the player has no way to change the events even though they really could have done so by warning the right people or directly stopping them. And while the one everyone else is talking about has a logical through line, this dude really through all logic out of his planning, and I guess that makes sense but it was done poorly imo.
ANDERSSSSSSSSS! (+vengeance)
