I don’t get why nata cares about arkveld

[Bastila Shan]

Can someone explain to me why he suddenly wanted it to live? Did I miss something in the plot?

Like the message is okay and the new lore bit is nice.
But dear god the presentation leave much to be desired.

I can agree with that much. I was like "Bit cheesy there, Nata."

Still enjoyed it, but doesn't change the fact of its cheesiness, lol.

Yeah lol.
Like we all know story never was MH strong suit.
But if Capcom gonna put so much focus on it, atleast make it better than this.

Also, why does Nata get to decide if we take out a monster or not? He's just a kid, yet we have adults standing around waiting for his permission. LMAO

The amount of people that very clearly skipped cutscenes/ignored dialogue while riding kinda explains why people seem to hate every single NPC in this game.

Nata explains why he's starting to care for Arkveld. The fact that only 1 or 2 of these comments explain that, and that every other comment is "It doesn't make sense, he never says anything about it" just shows that 99% of the players here just skip cutscenes then whine about the story not making sense.

I watched every scene, the problem is it’s so obscurely presented that it’s easy to miss. If indeed you’re evening telling the truth.

it basically starts out with him just wanting to return to his village and hoping there are survivors.... as the story progresses he starts to think about things from the hunters perspective....

like he was saved in the opening and taken to modern civilization... and when he arrives back to his land he is experiencing things from the hunters side for the first time....

he sees things like the new villagers in each region and how they live their lives normally till something changes in the ecosystem that throws things out of balance.... and how the hunters can piece things together like detectives pretty much and learn how to identify why things happen and figure out a way to prevent unbalance

and throughout the journey the hunters are pretty much guiding him each step of the way.... teaching him how they try to maintain the balance as hunters and not just run around like its a sport...

understanding of the monsters and learning to coexist with them is the main lesson they been teaching him throughout the journey... if that cant be achieved then extermination is required as a last resort basically

so he draws the connection by learning from the hunters who can figure out how the monsters think and react.... and so when learning about the origin of arkveld he sees the analogy of of him and arkveld being similar... and seeks the path of coexistance like he's been taught

Except the adults definitely knew before hand that coexistence with the state that arkveld was in is not possible.

Just a terribly written character in a simple and mediocre plot. Monster hunter has never been about the story. It was always at least forgettable, and often bad. All the meat of the games go into the combat mechanics and monsters, and Wilds is no exception.

Y'all genuinely do not know what actual terribly written characters look like.

Nata is specifically written to be an emotionally challenged child that's learning the hard lessons of the world he lives in, and that's exactly what he is. I swear you people just look for anything you can possibly grasp at to be upset about. If Nata seriously bothers you that much, you need to go to therapy because nothing he says or does is worthy of anything more than a snort or an eye roll at most.

Veilguard is serviceable at worst and mildly clever at best with a handful of "behave yourself or you're getting Marvel writing" scenes that I didn't care for. Again, people have no actual experience with truly terrible writing. The biggest sin of Veilguard is that its writing was generic and nothing truly stood out.

I've read genuinely horrible books with truly horrid characters that failed to convey literally anything they were trying to go for. You don't know how bad things can actually get.

not the whole time... they were basically tracking the monster down to figure it out.... and when they reached that particular room they realized how bad its condition was.... thats when they diagnosed it...

as for Nata.... he had no experience up to that point on something like that mental breakdown in an animal.... no monster up to that point was that rabid so he didnt understand what was going on that well... and the hunters didnt have time to sit there and hold his hand in teaching him right then and there....

thats why he threw a fit.... cause he didnt understand what was going on... he was being taught on things like coexistence and stuff and out of the blue he was faced with one of the exceptions....

he first saw it in the beginning of the game as just a monster.... then after encountering other monsters he saw it as part of the cycle of life.... and realized that it had a place in the ecosystem.... and when it became insane he didnt know how much of a threat to the ecosystem it really was...

引用自 Lantheros：

I know a thing or two about character development and in my opinion this is just bad writing. I think the goal was to make Nata feel reasonably bad for killing the Arkveld because it was artificially generated and "enslaved" by humans, and then it went coocoo and started wreaking havoc. Like, it was just a tool they created and then they decided to destroy it when it was no longer useful. Point is that the plot didn't even try to create some sort of empathetic connection between you/Nata and the monster, so it just feels like a forced reaction on Nata's part.

my2cents anyway

yeah thats what my buddy and i got from it aswell. we both laughed when he started crying right before we went to off the big bad.
