I wanted to keep him around because he was my Warlock buddy and I actually thought his pact storyline was going to be really interesting.
Instead the only good thing about him became Mizora being Mizora lol.
If anything I wish you could've '' stolen '' her and made a pact with her instead, Wyll kinda just felt like he was... There.
There wasn't much to him.
You know what I also think Mizora should've been the Tav Warlock patron instead. Not because I think she's more interesting than Wyll, far from it, but because she doesn't do shit. I think she's also another lesser victim of the rewrites, because she just doesn't make all that good a villain in Wyll's story. She shows up, spouts some lazy ass lawyer jargon like she took a community college course in law, fails at getting what she wants and then smugly leaves like she accomplished shit. Like, lady we literally had to rescue your ass at some point, where is all this confidence coming from? We can't even engage in a fun way with Wyll's contract like negotiating for a better deal, or taking her to demon court or some shit, so it seems like a waste. Like had they made Raphael, Wyll's patron, Wyll could've easily fulfill Korilla's role in story and now he has a reason to stick around even if you do morally reprehensible things like killing the tieflings. He's making a delivery to his boss, he has to stick around until the job is done.
I'm honestly sad, that Will gets so few attention. He is a good person, who didn't make the best life decisions and his story had so much more potential. He is the son of the duke, yet if you go with him through Baldurs Gate and no one reacts to him. He should have been the main companion focus in BG, given his involvement with the city, yet he says not too much.
People don't seem to be interested in Wyll at all. I posted a question here about his quest in act 3 and didn't even get an answer. Even my thread about a scratched companion did get more.
I like Wyll, but he is a bit halfheartedly written. He needs a fix more than the late companions tbh, because Minthara and Halsin are optional, but Will is a central origin companion, he needs a bit more love.
Agreed, it makes me wonder why they kept him on the poster when there's so little dedicated to him compared to the others. I don't know what they had in store for him back during the EA days, but whatever it was it looks like they didn't keep any of it for Act 3 so maybe there wasn't anything there for him either.
I have read people who said the upper city was mentioned two weeks before launch. And it is gone from the game?? The epilogue was mentioned to be 20 min ish. And it is gone from the game? It looks like it was here all the stories would conclude. If we get that, maybe everyone gets what they want.
But that is just me. Thinking.
Larian's statements about the Upper City seem to be all over the place. One minute they say the Upper city was going to be fully explorable area, the next they're saying oh it was always meant to only be the climax of the game. Did they forget that one of their characters was from the Upper City before they cut it?
It is all of them. No one says anything, and barely any of them have anything meaningful going on for the last at least 15 hours of the game.
Jaheira is actually fun to have with you, she has something to say about just about everything.
You also get to meet her kids and her co-workers all in Act 3. Like she's makes a decent spot for herself in the party in such a short amount of time.
