First of all, I want to thank everyone for being civil and not yelling at anyone, it's much appreciated.
In defense of Wyll: First off, yes, he has his problems, his foibles, I get that. I'm not saying he's a paragon of good, and a lot of his stuff is about glory, but a lot of it isn't. He likes when we help that Tiefling finish her song to honor her dead friend. Why? He gets nothing out of it, it's not furthering his legacy, his story. He likes it when YOU rescue the tiefling child from Karga. He's not getting credit for that, he's not getting paid. He likes it when you purge the hyenas of their corruption. Again, that's not something he brags about, he gives you credit where credit is due. He jokes and says it's not often he shares credit but . . . I mean I think that could be read as joke-bragging. He's playing up his persona for sure, but I think that's just a performance.
I think it comes down to how you read him. He's either an egoist, in which case he's not that bad because he's willing to give credit where credit is due and compliment others on their fighting style, or he's kinda like the stereotypical jovial viking, joke-bragging and putting on a performance because it's fun. In which case he knows he's not all that and he's just joking around. Depends on how you read him. Personally I think he's so over the top, and that's contrasted with his moments of seriousness, that I think it's all just fun and games and a performance, a way to lift the morale of the Refugees. That's just my read though.
And with his beef with the Goblins, let's be real. Yes, again, it's his blind spot, but let's not pretend he was killing a warren full of goblin babies. He KNOWS the tribe that you are going after. They killed all his friends, it's implied they destroyed the entire blighted town, and they have no problem trying to kill an entire group of Tiefling Refugees and a peaceful druid grove. This particular tribe of Goblins has proven time and again to be a menace that are killing people en masse. They should be stopped. So his anger isn't misplaced, just overreationary.
