A true hero who wants to push against the tides to evil and make the world a better place. Someone who makes companions feel better about themselves and reminds them to hold onto hope even in the darkest moments.
Isn't that what Wyll is trying to project?
Yes and I'm guessing that if you are good enough friend and/or romantic partner you can persuade him to transform the facade into reality. I'll probably enjoy that bit.
Right now we haven't met a true hero - no Minsc, no Mazzy, no Keldorn or Ajantis. So far we aren't adventuring in the world made famous by Drizzt.
Hoping that will change but if not I can always go back to playing WotR and BG2.
