Wyll. New and Improved?

[Izuzul]

Was interesting to hear that they have changed up Wyll. Really curious to see how they have altered him as a character.

[Tiviani]

Me too! I wasn't a fan of how he was prior so I'm curious to see the difference.

As a Wyll fan,, this is the best news I've gotten from Larian. 🥳

[Lord Adorable]

Wyll always struck me as the odd one out among all the companions, like Larian wasn't ENTIERLY sure what to do with him.
Hearing that he's been getting changed a bit sounds interesting, especially concidering he's out to murder another Origin character.

[Ephemerant]

Outside of the story changes, they probably tweaked him mechanically to work as a melee Warlock.

Yeah I felt the same way. Was just something off about him.

I've been complaining for literally years now that the Blade of the Frontiers cannot effectively Blade of the Frontier. Glad to see they're taking steps to presumably enable this character to behave in accordance with his backstory and stated preference of fighting style.

Yup, me too. He felt really weird, as in if he was a performer pretending to be a warlock with a pact and deep hatret towards goblins... almost like he's actually a bad bard or something.

this is an issue all around. Gale has an excuse, but why Laz'Zel, the starborne uber warrior, or Wyll, the famous Blade of Frontiers, are lv 1 scrubs again?

Gotta use suspension of disbelief, but sure feels werd.

Re-leveling isn't the issue I had with it. What I meant was, Wyll presents himself as a swashbuckling hero, but with 13 dexterity and no access to Pact of the Blade or the Hexblade subclass in EA, was incapable of actually swashbuckling. Rapier proficiency does not a warrior make.

He needs drastically different stats and access to Pact of the Blade at a BARE MINIMUM to be at all worthy of his "Blade of the Frontiers" title. Alternatively, he could have the moniker written out of his story and just embrace being a more traditional warlock.

Wyll is the new Ifan. Ifan in DOS2 also went through some radical changes from his early access version to the final version.
