Am i only one think old Wyll was better?

[Rivazar]

I liked old voice and story in act 1 from early access more. His grudge over goblins was much better than his „I need to hunt Karlach“.
Larian changed him and wow what a surprise he is most full and boring character now

[The Former]

Hmm, well, I don't find the hunt for Karlach being his only character beat in the first place, but have you tried both killing and not killing Karlach? Because you learn a lot of interesting things about him from each path.

I assume the newer one sounds more noble than the old one.

He was boring in early access and he is boring now. Even his class is boring. I don’t get how anyone enjoys playing a class that has two spell slots and just spams one cantrip over and over. It’s a shame too because Wyll could have been cool as a Paladin or Bard.

I like his new voice better. He is more solemn and has less bravado than before. It is interesting how much of a difference it makes.

You can always respec.

You should think of Warlocks as an archer with two powerful spell slots.

I found it more interesting that he had some relationship with the caged goblin. I don't know why we can't have both, as the karlach thing is just one little cutscene then they are BFFs. And the whole son of blah blah thing feels completely out of left field. The story plays out OK, I guess, but IMHO the contract breaking is too easy and the consequences of your choices seem zero regardless. Whole thing feels somewhat unfinished or something.

The only interesting character that have several nuances is Shadowheart tbh..

From all the little things like fear of wolves, liking night orchids, to her romance developing to her freeing herself and feeling grief and pain, etc, to choosing the dark path and her becoming totally evil etc

Everyone else is rather one dimensional and Wyll is just that- the goody idealist .

I agree there should have been a narural option for him to become paladin or something , his personality totally doesn’t fit being a warlock .

In a Warlock build you can go the typical ranged build of Eldritch Blast, but there is an alternative anti-ranged build in Devil's Sight / Fiendish Vigor / Darkness. Warlocks are subtle and not boring at all.

Nah old wyll voice was awful. Just sounded like a London dude. This one fits the setting

[Mewsha]

No way the new voice is better.

I just don't like that they made Wyll a cookie cutter character. That's most of the characters though. The only ones that have nuance and can change throughout the story are Astarion and Shadowheart. The rest of the characters are static.

The best part of Wyll is Mizora. I freakin' love Mizora. I didn't care for Wyll as companion, but now I actually play him as an Origin character and I love it. I don't have to listen to his boring droning voice and I get even more Mizora and additional scenes with that vixen.

Old Wyll was a whining hypocrite who'd do whatever gets him to achieve the goal. He was telling one thing but doing the opposite. New Wyll is a standard boring goodie-two shoes, but at least he's consistent and relatable - and he's boring only because all well-explored tropes are.

Which don't matter for gameplay, Shadowheart won't be frightened by wolves in combat, yet another Larian blunder.
