The Yda / Lyse thing was pretty meaningless. Someone we didn't know until recently was pretending to be someone that we didn't know that was already dead. If that entire thing was written out, nothing would have changed.
I feel like the whole set-up was really just so they could have a reason for the Archon tattoo fading away.

My genre's thriller... What's yours?
Lyse is funny if you talk to her between quests and she punted the cute mascot character so she is alright in my book. Also she does accomplish a lot of stuff but they have the whole telling not showing problem. During the Doma castle dungeon she was leading soldiers around Yanxia sowing confusion, raiding targets and effectively stopping any reinforcements from that southern Castrum from getting to the battle in time. She is usually leading her own force in the final Ala Mhigan sections so you don’t see her much then either.

My wildcard fanfest prediction is the next city will be in old Sharlayan considering our other usual smarty pants Sharlayan folks are occupied and we will need knoweledge about these Ascian folks and the nature of things.

i definitely get why people wouldn't care for Lyse because they really don't do a great job of showing why she should be a leader. i can't help but like feisty girls who punch things, though.

Enough of this nonsense. You are an important mayor and this absurd contraption has wasted enough of your time.
Get hype for Yoshi P to come out cosplaying in either of these outfits.



The twist announcement will be that female Viera aren't going to be playable, just males and the last footage we got was a bait and switch. The giant cats will be women only though.

How does into botes?
Lyse graduated from hiding in Papalymo's shadow, to being involuntarily stuck in Alisaie's.

I do wish there was a duty where WoL and Lyse go and beat the living tar out of eachother though.

Im surprised we didn't get one of those. They made a big deal out of lyse and the WoL sparring in the cinematic. It could have really been thrown in anywhere during the story because Lyse wanted to let off some steam or something.

Lyse is not compelling or believable as a leader but that's a separate matter from why we got a reveal on her background and what motivates her.

Her character arc was effectively derailed by the game splitting its attention between Ala Mhigo and Doma, like so many other things this expansion, and she never really stuck the landing.

It works out in the cutscene because derplander is a monk, but it would be a bit weird as other jobs.

if lyse doesn't know how to punch bullets or kick a flare explosion then what has she even been doing with her monk time

Lyse is the same character as Hien and if you don't like her it's because you're sexist.

She's a figurehead, they outright state as such when she assumes command at the behest of the old, dying resistance leader. She just has an incredible bench of people who do know what the gently caress they're doing and defers judgement to them, which honestly makes her a pretty alright leader. She's way out of her loving depth but knows it and lets people who do know what to do carry the load

"Raubahn makes decisions, the WoL murders anything that stands in our way" seems to be working out alright so far.

How do you figure? They have entirely different demeanours, and their entire approach to their respective revolutions are completely opposite each other. Outside of the twins, I can't think of a character pair that contrasts each other more.

I joined an LDR last night as a scholar and a 12 minute in progress Darkhold came up and I was like “oh cool”

Zoned in, the tank was a gladiator :stare:

I just said “lmao no” and left then queued again and got vault and everything was fine

Darkhold is like three dungeons after brayflox. Brayflox as a gladiator is still not good but makes more sense, it’s easy to shoot past 30 as a tank if you’re spamming queues

But Darkhold? How the gently caress did he do stone vigil as a gladiator

Lyse does do a limit break, but it's all the way back in ARR. You even see Papalymo feeding her the lb bar beforehand.
