I just remembered something I really liked about Wyll in the epilogue.
Oooh. The epilogue. I wonder what he says if you convince him to turn politician... oh I am so going to try this...
Right? These epilogues are so detailed. I was pleasantly shocked that the letter Human-Gale gets from Elminster not only registers which path in life Gale has taken, but also comments on one of them as an unusual choice. It felt like the game registering the character development I had made up in my mind.
I also don't think Wyll's story is pathetic, just that he doesn't get much say in it.
