I agree with how oddly the politician ending is handled. I don't think it seems to expand his characterization or anything, and it seems like we *should* be getting the idea that he's being power-hungry but it's not really played with much?
It gets unintentionally funny when some of your companions are lightly shocked by Wyll striving for political power and an aristocratic title and then you have Gale, dearest Gale, who objects simply because it sounds boring. (I think his comment was along the lines that if anyone can make politics sound interesting, it's probably Wyll.) I could understand Gale's point of view but the other comments felt weirdly negative for no real reason.
