I completely missed EA and usually skip EA titles until release, because I tend to burn myself out and never do the full release. Can someone summarize what she was like in EA?
As someone completely new and coming in, I found her character had some really interesting potential, but her story takes some abrupt turns and her characterization early on is just kinda bland. It's not until much later that she starts to get more depth.
I think it would've given her more depth if
she showed signs of doubting her faith earlier than she did. Sparing Nightsong seems like the right choice, you miss dialogue and other story components if you don't, but it seems totally out of character for her to make that decision in the moment and she doesn't really doubt her faith much prior to that. Even if you push her to, she defends it, her loss of memories, etc, but all of a sudden she starts questioning it and even though it aligns with story components, that doubt was something that I think they could've seeded earlier.
Part of me figured that was just the way she was, being a devout follower and all, but if she is such a devout follower then she wouldn't be getting involved in a romance either and
showing next to no conflict over it aside from one or two minor lines later in the story.
.
The idea of her being sarcastic and snarky would have been a lot better IMO.
Also, did they ever address
her hand? It seems near the end if she releases her parents, she uses it to do so, but I don't recall mention of why it was triggering randomly or what the story was there. Same with why she was chosen and Shar made the mother destroy her previous enclave, why her? Just because she was a Selunite before? It feels like some of this was left off, but it was also 4am so maybe I missed it
