I will say, despite some of my earlier negativity, I’ve decided to restart the game as a half-orc bloodrager, and its been a lot more enjoyable. Don’t have to worry about my horse randomly getting stuck in doors, lol. I still think there are too many encounters though. I also agree with the praise for Woljiff’s voice actor, he understood the assignment.

Or elaborate on it in a way that feels fresh and new? Because so far I haven't been impressed.
She's not really fleshed out. She's a child prophet preaching the gospel of philosophical pessimism. That's it. No real character development. I find her interesting because I find pessimism interesting but you're not into that you might find her a bit boring.
(it's episode 155 despite what the link says, Emile Cioran)
I thought her rhetoric paralleled a lot of Dawkins talking points. Just applied to a world where polytheism is the norm and the reality. With a dash a Diogenes-esque cynicism. As someone with quite a bit of interest in theology and philosophy, it’s a shame Ember’s idiosyncrasies annoy me so much. Might just grit my teeth and soldier through, idk. Appreciate the responses though.

“But his mind saw nothing of all this. His mind was engaged in a warfare of the gods. His mind paced outwards over no-man's-land, over the fields of the slain, paced to the rhythm of the blood's red bugles. To be alone and evil! To be a god at bay. What was more absolute?”
