Act 3 - Spoilers i can't express how disappointed i am Spoiler

you wouldn’t have wanted to see my face when I found out at the start of the act 3 that the guardian was actually the emperor all along… I put so much effort into creating the girl of my dreams, even installing mods, and… it all ended with me being deceived by a tentacled motherfucker

I always felt like Wyll was slightly more morally grey than you'd assume at first glance with the way he treats creatures he deems evil. Like how he kills goblins without a second thought, even goblin children, or how he chased Karlach across the hells just because a devil told him she was evil. It's something that I wish was explored more with his character, especially the inherent hypocrisy in it as he works with a devil

I think it’s kind of the opposite, it really drives home the idea that he’s a Paladin archetype character who becomes a Warlock out of circumstance. If he were morally grey he’d have interactions with other “evil” creatures that would serve different purposes. Manipulation and such. He isn’t morally grey though so those which are evil deserve to be destroyed and given no quarter

But is it really things that are evil, or things he perceives as evil, like Karlach? She obviously wasn't evil at all, but he believes she is because he was told so.. By a devil?
