She does a 180 and the writer starts writing her as if she's a completely different character because her previous characterization is a paper thin, cliche'd temperament and he doesn't know how to apply that to other situations.

It's not a facade being dropped or anything, which would have been fine. It's literally just not even trying to approach "how does my previously established character act in this situation?"

He gets brought back for 4 in a really hamfisted way. After half a game of the PC suddenly believing Gat is alive for no fucking reason and trying to devote all of their limited resources at finding him, even though the last time they knew he was getting shot to death on a crashing plane, and the Earth got blown the fuck up.

Then he gets put on a pedestal for the rest of the game and everyone's sucking his dick because....?

holy fucking shit, you people all have no idea if you havent played guild wars 2.

No one, no one any of you ahve mentioned here comes even close to the piece of shit design that is traherne.

>Start the game as a low ranking member of your race
>climb up the steps to become an officer or something along those lines
>Eventually get to represent your faction within one of three larger organizations
>work yourself up in said organization
>gather a group of NPCs to help you about as you ascend the ladder while uncovering the main plot
>In comes TRAHERNE
>Hes a gay PLANT necromancer who has no relation to the rest of the story and suddenly shows up
>You think its just a one shot sidekick but you are mistaken
>Suddenly for the first time in the game, this NPC that has never been mentioned before gets ALL the praise for the stuff you did
>Most of the NPC you have gathered along the way are no longer relevant
>It turns out, hes not your sidekick, you are his sidekick
>We must find the ancient magical sword to defeat evil!
>Traherne gets it, not you
>the entire story is wank about this character
>Traherne actually becomes the leader of the world saving organization
>You are relegated to beeing his "general" and all the dialogue options you get are about praising him

I cannot convey how much i HATE this character with a furious passion.
I have played many many many games, i have played shit games with shit writing but NEVER EVER Have i encountered a character so irritating and so blatantly shoehorned in as traherne.

>>384999689
I hink she was a bad idea with decent execution. She didn't ruin the game for me, but I couldn't look at it the same way after her introduction. In a game where the appeal is that your living this sort of double life, it feels stupid to give the normal life side of that this aspect which is completely unreal, and for the characters to seem fairly unsurprised makes it even worse. I hope they don't add another robot in the spinoffs of P5, I like the character of Aigis, but androids have no place in the series, in my opinion.

The sad part about Sylvari overall, much like with 90% of the end development of GW2, is that they wound up being nothing like how they were described to be when their race was introduced to the roster.

Idea presented:
>Curious and often times cruel like inexperienced children
>Unwittingly morbid and driven by their curiosity about death and how it affects them and the world
>Unable to see the world in anything but black and white due to their moralfag upbribing by centaur-human gay couple thing
>Extremely adaptable and numerous, generally attempting to be better than their "siblings" at all times, causing them to be extremely competitive and aiming to be friends with anybody but their own people so they would feel like "themselves"
>extremely sensitive to any climate change that didn't adapt to their tropical environment, making prolongued exposure to different areas literally changing their shape in order not to die
>the largest majority of them would have a Wyld Hunt that would drive them to the extent of obsession; a supplanted train of thought to override their need to be a dragon minion, replacing "serve mordremoth" with simpler things like "herd sheep"

Actual outcome presented:
>So Randumb XD humans-but-not
>plant puns
>their only two subjects: THE DREAM! and BECAUSE THE PALE TREE-
>capable of doing pretty much everything, being anywhere and just about adapt to any environment without any major complaint
>basically just humans dressed up in salad clothes talking about Dreams
>only special snowflakes have Wyld Hunts, and the plot by now has entirely forgotten that's even a thing
>the only remnant of their devotion and interest in death is Trahearne and the bitch in the books having been necromancers, and even then neither show any particular care for the subject beyond "lol corpse summoning shocks people!"
>their only "black and white" morality is that they don't like their edgy perma-teenager Court of Thorns

That's typical Bioware. The story flows more or less okay if you make the 'right' choices but completely falls apart if you try something different. I liked Leliana when I romanced her on my first DA playthrough but on the second one I skipped recruiting her and left her to die and she showed up later anyway. That's just insulting
>>
>>385000353
It's not the escapist aspect of it, and I think intertwining the supernatural and the real world is a good thing in the way that it's done towards the end or how your trying to prevent the Shadows from causing events in the real world are both good or how more and more people get Apathy Syndrome are good examples of how to do that well because it's a natural extension of the Dark Hour and the supernatural elements of the story. Having a robot who is not from this supernatural world, but from the real world, just feels totally out of place though, because it has nothing to do woth the Dark Hour aside from the fact that it was designed to fight Shadows.
>>
>>385000259

The TL:DR?
She is a super genius capable of doing everything she wants because she gets to.
So she learns pretty much to be the best of all playable classes at all times from the most talented people in the world from each race (whom despite you are told time and again they adamantly refuse to share their technology with other races as an excuse for why people aren't more technologically advanced; they don't refuse her and teach her ALL the things without question.)

So she goes on to be the source of every major thing that has happened for a while, seemingly for no real purpose, being capable of using a multi-class system (I.E being a necroelementalistengineer) that the lore literally says cannot happen; so they rewrite the lore to suit that, and now that is not what the lore says or has said. (Invalidating much of GW1's lore just so she can do just that.)

This goes on to her not only having the means and time and resources to create alliances between all the major enemies in the world, enemies that for the record have no reason to cooperate but the bribery she brings to the table; they all willingly devote to these alliances to go as far as to DIE FOR IT and shit, so she gets to make a giant army of her own that "fear her power so much they are devoted to her!", and make this army create a giant, city-sized drill that flies in the sky (no, seriously.), and attacks Lion's Arch, destroying it (again), to wake up the elder dragon.

To wrap up how retarded this is, she was doing it because she saw in a Deus Ex Machina (literally a machine that lets you see the eternal alchemy, which now isn't an abstract concept anymore, but an actual thing that exists???) that she was a dragon minion. So she went on to use all of these resources and shit to kill Mordremoth by forcefully waking him.
And didn't tell anyone because she was "too insane" to do it and "battling Mordremoth's influence".
So you kill her.
And her army.
And the dragon's still there.

It has the same purpose as Ryoji being a boy: they need a gender for blending in to the human environment.

I agree that the romantic angle sucks, but they went with a girl for the Pieta ending and maximum Jesus symbolism. There's nothing wrong with Aigis being strange reinterpretation of Mary Magdalyn, she just needed to be more of a character and less of a waifu.
>>
>>384999789
Whole GW2 is bunch of retarded SJWs. Those are completely new people. Only one or two people from original GW stayed. This game is pure shit.
>>
>>385000726
>I have nothing against the line being blurred unless it blurs the line.

Persona's world is completely saturated in the supernatural and the line is arbitrary. Ryoji and Aigis are representative of both sides and are each birthed from the other world. Giving him a pass while drawing the line at August is silly.

Not really. They killed him in SR 3 and got massive backlash from fans, so they resurrected him. If anything this is fans fault.
>>
>>385001096
There's nothing supernatural about Aigis other than her Plume of Dusk which they only added in The Answer, as I recall. I am okay with the line being blurred when it relates ot the Dark Hour becuaee that had been established as the sueprnatural aspect and the real world had been established as a real world. If a dragon came in to the story that had only a tangential relation to the Dark Hour I would have thought that to be stupid as well because it's not blurring the lines between the natural and the supernatural, it's just introducing something entirely different.

I wouldn't consider that being a creator's pet in the same way as the rest of these examples, though; that's just the writers using their fiat to retcon the player's choice, as annoying as that might be. Being a creator's pet would have had them make Inquisition all about her.

Scarlet's overall cringe was later "subsided slowly" by the developers releasing "excuses" as how she managed to do things, I should add.
These were small written stories as to how she coerced, blackmailed or tortured people into helping her, teaching her or whatever other shenanigan she got up to.
(Ultimately adding to nothing, though, as the damage was kinda done and none of it ever reflected in-game anyways.)

Trahearne is dead. You kill him in Heart of Thorns for the cheapest and most retarded plot device reason. Elder dragon captures him instantly the moment the expansion starts and you don't see him until the last fight. he opens a portal for you to fight mordremoth's mind. ... because he can do that, somehow. he is then the last part of mordremoth's mind alive because mordy put a part of him inside of his head before the fight (how convenient!), and then you kill him to fully kill mordremoth.

Jokes on Trahearne because now the plot of GW2 is about how everyone fucked up by killing the dragons which is a bad thing to do, something OBVIOUS TO EVERYONE PLAYING THE GAME AND HAVING BASIC READING COMPREHENSION, but not to the brightest minds of the world of Tyria. Not even Scarlet pieced together that if a text reads;
"Dragons show up when there is TOO MUCH magic and eat it."
You might not want to release that magic back straight up without having something to fall back on.

But it's okay, because Mary Sue Cripple pieced that together herself without any help eventually.
Pic related. GW2's current Trahearne, essentially.

It is magic in Persona though, is it not? The Shadows aren't the same as the Demons of most MegaTen games.

so they literaly cant do without it.
they cant make a plot without putting some retarded mary sue character in the forefront.

For all that great art design they couldnt hire a single competent writer

Yes, you literally mercy kill Trahearne at the end of the first expansion.

He had been using the last shreds of his will to allow you to travel into the Dream and battle the dragon's mind. He tells you to kill him after you win to prevent the dragon from regenerating.

Now the PC is the leader of Destiny's Edge 2.0, Logan is leader of the Pact (maybe?), a Glint egg hatched and now there's a friendly baby dragon around, Balthazar pretended to be a Mursaat for some reason and is a bad guy now I guess, and we're going to Vabbi eventually.

Oh also killing dragons is bad now because it releases too much energy and makes the other dragons stronger. They made us literally stop Balthazar from eating Primordus because reasons.

>only thing that's not canon is the FeMC herself
Anything that happens in the FeMC route is noncanon, such as Shijiro surviving and Akihiko being interested in girls. The only thing that isn't is Theodore for whatever reason. Also it doesn't make sense why Ryoji is male in the FeMC side, so it's all just bullshit to me

>gets mentioned in the rest of the games
Only in the spinoffs

>It is magic in Persona though, is it not?
Not really, especially not in spinoff material.

>The Shadows aren't the same as the Demons of most MegaTen games.
1, 2I and 2E, and 5 disagree. SMT never clarifies exactly where Demons come from. Persona does. That, tone, and the state of society are the only real differences.
>>
>>385000353
>The fact that the natural and supernatural overlap and become more tangled as the plot progresses is a good way to develop a story, though.
The difference here being that Persona is entirely a mid-fantasy supernatural setting, but Aigis is a high-technological fantasy character. It'd be like if Gandalf suddenly rocked up in Star Trek, or Commander Shepard appeared in LotR. Aigis is out of place in the setting

That sounds about right. She is basically the "opposite" in execution to Trahearne, purposedly to pander to you being the leadership role. She is a child, and so can't take command.

But she is also an asura super genius so she gets to make all the "I literally just pulled this out of my ass five minutes ago." machines and explanations which despite her entire race is meant to be some pseudo-enlightened super intelligent cluster, only she gets to do. So while all the other asura just kinda do nothing (oh, and while Zojja is in a comma because her voice actress is like lolnah about her payments), Taimi figures out literally the whole world on her own because fuck you that's why.

You might think, but wait!
I can play an asura too, surely my character would behave in a manner similar to her.
S/he was one of the best asura minds of his/her generation if we go by what my personal story says.
That must have some impact!

No, screw you.

I mean, yeah he is, but why not call him by his real name?

I was always under the impression that Homer was a blind dude on a boat and the soldiers were just telling him stories and tall tales that he took seriously. When he returned he shouted in the streets his tale, but no one listened so he made the main character a hero that others could get behind instead of a blind homeless man.
>>
>>385003293
Gandalf was more of a magical guide than a Firaga spammer. I mean he could, but that wasn't important.

Whoopi most likely could as well, seeing as she may as well have been any given episode's writer.

I was actually OK with Trahearne. It was somewhat refreshing not being the Chosen One.
But fucking Taimi. Jesus fucking Christ she infuriates me.
>>
>>385003592

I didn't have an issue with the IDEA behind Trahearne. The character itself becoming an eventual leader of a coalition makes "sense", but the execution of the character was entirely ridiculous.
It literally required the player to have;

>knowledge of material relating to Trahearne prior to GW2's release
These were short stories that not only are not found in the wiki, they were released as side material for books and in developer/writter blogs.
Literally ALL of Trahearne's achievements that everyone goes around praising and hailing him for are detailed here - and only here. - and the game just rolls with you assuming you have heard of it.
Why the fuck would you know any of that?

>Trahearne only shows up literally once before this and hints to the whole overarching plot, introduces you to several key characters and the Mirrors of Orr...
>... in a single path of the sylvari storyline, clearly the path they wanted you to choose in order to actually give a fuck about the overall storyline.

>Trahearne is meant to be a necromancer first, historian second, researcher third.
>He is actualy historian>>>>>>>researcher>>>>>Deus Ex Machina ritual provider>>>>>>>>>>>>>necromancer

>Trahearne's demeanor is meant to be that of an unnerving, cryptic guy with no social skills who has only ever truly interacted with people in times of death and chaos.
>Behaves like a spotless gentleman at all times and nobody except one NPC ever comments on him being weird.

He was just Logan except with a sylvari reskin, and that was my issue; His achievements are entirely different and dissonant to what you actually get stuck with.

I just love how all of their poorly planned characters they were meant to scrap and they had no pre-planned ideas for now are just there in the most filler way possible, or just outright terrible.

>Rox is literally non-existant and just there to follow Braham around

>Braham is just some suddenly turbo emo faggot that just whines and does stupid shit while nobody stops him from it, including your character who knows he is going to not only kill countless norn, but kill a dragon (which is bad now, and apparently just about anybody can do these days)

>Marjory is like "lol you can't tell me what to do, you are just my guild leader and my boss" and fucks off to follow Balthazar around
>Manages to do absolutely nothing in the process of doing that, by the way
>Almost dies again (I mean come on.)

>Kasmeer just doesn't show up.
>At all.
>Like she literally shows up for the Balthazar reveal.
>Then she hiccups and leaves.

>RYTLOCK HAS STILL TO EXPLAIN ANYTHING IN ANY WAY ABOUT REVENANTS
>THEY JUST CONTINUE TO IGNORE IT

Most player character stories don't set them up as any sort of chosen one though, often you have a lot of help that you're in charge of because you actually worked your way up to that point. The fact that the game dumps literally everything related to your personal story by about lvl30 is already aggravating, but to then have that leafy git swoop in and jump ahead of you just by hanging out with you while you do the actual hard work? He was a shit character that had an even shittier implementation.

I am unironically in this wild ride just to see the extents of raping they can do to their own project.
They lost the speck of credibility they had left with Scarlet. But I am in too deep and have too much time invested in it to leave; I may as well see the trainwreck through nad have a sad laugh while at it.

>>385004089
It seems that your dislike for Trahearne comes from him not being the character hew as supposed to be, and that you're supposed to read stuff that is not in the game to understand him. Well, I didn't read anything that was not in the game, and I have no problem with him. So it looks like you have it backwards.
To me, he was just a powerful necromancer, whose destiny was to cleanse Orr. Him receiving the weapon from Pale Tree and becoming the leader of the Pact was only natural. Trahearne came into the story as the expert on undead and Orr. He was the brains of the whole thing and the player was the brawn.

>>385005350
I meant it. as opposed to other games. Right now in WoW you are the chosen one of your respective class and are able to wield the most powerful artifacts, weapons that would, and most have, destroyed weaker minds and bodies.
I agree about the personal story, though. Wish your background played a more important role.
>>
>>385005732

Well, to you it might have felt natural, but for the largest amount of people it was anything but natural.
I am glad that you find yourself in the small minority that had no real expectatives one way or another as it gives you the capability to enjoy the whole thing without disappointment, but as you can tell by the fact he wound up cheaply killed off to appease most people (which i would prefer they had not, fixing him from the ground up and making him actually interesting would have been better.), you really do remain in the minority.

>>385005732
In WoW it still makes sense at least, your character has defeated elemental lords, several dragons (two aspects even), giant bug invasions, old gods, high ranking demons, etc, etc, your achievements by now are already rivaling those you obtain your weapons from so it is hardly unwarranted.

GW2 you're no more a chosen one than any other military commander and you're usually assisted by troops and other strong characters, having Traeherne show up and get special treatment, essentially shifting the story even further away from you and onto him was terrible. I'd much rather have invaded Orr with Reeva and my warband

Seriously, entitled worthless little cunt. Only reason she got as far as she did was that her bodygaurd had the hots for her. She knew that, used it to her advantage, and then got all high and mighty about him FORMALLY spying on her meanwhile she was crucifying/ executing people by the hundreds and preparing to declare war on westeros cuz muh dragon blood

Seriously, fuck this chick
