I just put some detailed, bulleted feedback in the Larian discord server. If you'd like a cheat sheet for ideas on what things to mention in your feedback be it in their discord, on the feedback board on their forum, through their report form (select feedback in the 'report type' drop down menu. Someone also suggested sending each issue as a separate feedback instead of all in one which is a fabulous idea), on twitter, or so on I will drop what I wrote below the cut. You are free to copy my homework and just change the wording a little if it makes sending feedback less daunting.
Hi! Firstly, I will say that I love Wyll very much. Many people do! He has far more devoted fans than you may realize :sparkling_heart: However, we are now 6 patches and 17 hotfixes in and the issue of Wyll’s content disparity still has not been addressed. This is especially notable after the romance-themed Patch 6 which did not even address the major disparity in romance content for arguably the most romantic character.
To break down what I mean:
Despite multiple patches, Wyll still lacks the same level of content as other characters in terms of overall dialogue time (several hours less than Karlach who was added later and has still received new scenes and content beyond epilogues, kisses, and idles). This has yet to be addressed.
He is the only character without a single romance greeting while most if not all other characters have several.
In the epilogue (which was created after the game and thus cannot be excused as “ran out of time to finish him” as other players have tried to suggest about the main game) Wyll is the only origin companion who cannot be hugged or kissed while you can do one or both to all other characters.
Wyll only has two romance scenes compared to all other origin companions who have 3+
He is the only romanceable character lacks a sex scene (or equivalent non-sexual romantic scene to fill this gap)
Wyll is unable to make his own choice in the climax of his story.
Wyll has the least reactivity among the main origin companions, both as a companion and as an Origin character.
Wyll still suffers from bugs that have yet to be addressed and fixed
Despite other character appearances being tweaked between EA in the full game as well as in subsequent patches, Wyll still wears the default warlock outfit which wasn’t even recolored like Gale’s wizard outfit was.
In line with the above, Wyll’s appearance as a devil does not match what is described in his dialogue (claws, more ridges, etc.)
The only updates that have been made to Wyll are the ones that affect all characters (kisses and epilogues) so, to clarify, this is not what I or any others giving feedback are referring to. We are referring to the above issues that have been present since the full game was released.
He is arguably one of the most important characters to the story, one of the most romantically inclined protagonists, and he has one of the most interesting stories. I believe many more people would see this were he given the proper updates and adjustments to bring him up to the content levels of other companions.
It is especially rare that a black character has the chance to play the role in fantasy media that Wyll has been given (heroic, romantic, the center of intruige, witty and charming, and so on), but it is unfortunately common for black characters to get sidelined in writing and for this reason I believe it's all the more important that these things are addressed. He is an important character to many people and would be a wonderful breath of fresh air for the genre if given more time and care.
All of this has been a pretty big topic of discussion on various social media, especially since Patch 6 was released, and I would be more than happy to share those posts (particularly those from social media sites Larian isn’t on) if requested so that a wider range of organic feedback and interest can be seen. If you have any further questions you are free to contact me about it! If you would like more detailed suggestions on what might be done to improve and update his story and integration, myself and especially the many talented and passionate Wyll writers and enjoyers out there would be more than happy to contribute.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this!
