That's what I don't understand. How is it that Wyll is the son of the grand duke and has a backstory that's connected to Baldur's Gate more than the other companions, but he just gets ignored? All of these details are included in his backstory, but it's like it leads to nothing. That silly artifact Shadowheart carries around gets more attention than Wyll's story. Even useless granola crunching tree hugger Halsin who's awkwardly forced into the storyline seems to be treated as more important.
So yeah, I agree with OP on this.
Thank you. Story wise, Wyll is the most important companion in the game by far through his involvement with the main plot. I'm sad, he gets sidelined so much.
I came to like Wyll a lot because he is the one companion, I would very much be best friends with in real life. He has a lot of good things going on for him. My other favourite is Karlach, but she already has enough people speaking out for her, and Lae'zel and Gale, but their storylines are pretty good already.
So I started to campaign for Wyll a bit, since I actually like the rewrite and think, that Theo dies a really great job as a voice actor ( have you seen the DnD campaign with him, Sam, Devra and Neil? Hilarious). They should have invested in calling him in again and give him some more dialogues, because judging by the DnD campaign,where he plays Wyll, he could do so much more with the character, if they would let him.
I actually love, when games have a down to earth, best friend kind of character in a game, like Varric in Dragon Age or Mercurio in Vampire Bloodlines.
