Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Wyll Is A Coward

I don't know. I gotta say, I agree with Niara a lot on this one. Wyll has always been my least favorite. I hardly ever put him in my party. I had the same impression and experiences as Niara. I didn't have him in the party much to begin with because immediately I saw through him and felt like I wasn't really able to see through him. Then, when I did play with him in the party and went through his questline, I was quite put out even more.

And furthermore, his plan is STUPID. REALLY REALLY STUPID. "I have this grand plan. Let's waltz into the goblin camp and... um... just butcher the three leaders. Done. What do you think?" Stupidest idea in the whole world.

You know what was a smart idea that I have done multiple times?
Now, if Wyll had offered THAT as a suggestion and said that was his grand plan, I'd have been like, "Hmmm. Yeah. I like it." But instead, he disapproves if you take that route.

But that's not all. I also don't like him because his class is weak, and he's actually quite weak. With only 2 SRs per day, the Warlock is stuck at 6 spells slots at best. They're booty weak because they don't have many good weapons and armor, and Wyll is not even done right based on 5e rules. They've given him the ability to use a rapier without making him be a Pact of the Blade Warlock. So, it's like he's a Pact of the Blade Warlock, being allowed to use a weapon like a rapier as a class proficiency, but then he doesn't get any of the other Pact of the Blade abilities. And furthermore, you get to pick which Pact he takes.

Yeah. I had to make myself like Wyll. I had to REALLY make myself like him, and even to this day, he's the one I least have in my party. I even prefer the much hated Astarion - who I actually like a lot and is one of my favorite origin characters because I find him humorous - over Wyll.
