That random Kryptis death was a new speedrun record.
Comment on (Spoilers for new patch) feeling disconnected from my character

I also didn’t feel the impact on Peitha of the death of this random Kryptis. What helped a little bit is reading a story journal descriptions of those chapters. It contains more insight on what commander is thinking and Peitha’s feelings. This leads me to believe, that their direction is actually that Peitha is a good one. But again, it is obvious that gameplay needed one or two more instances and more dialogue to properly show this story and portray Peitha’s feelings and motivations.

Same, I felt absolutely nothing about that random kryptis. They just appeared, had no character development, and instantly died. I honestly have no clue why that character existed. I could say the same for Heitor.
I’ve never really liked how gw2 seems to want to give every species human emotions and relationships. Why are these emotion eating extraplanar demons going through very human seeming grief? I just think the writers could do better personally.

Yeah they made way too many characters for limited dialogue we had. They could’ve only focus on Heitor, scrap this side character, and make Peitha’s cousin be killed by Heitor (don’t remember his name) So Heitor kills Peitha’s cousin, which would really make sense she was sad after that. Peitha’s cousin and Heitor have more character development because we skip story about this side character

Totally agree. One memorable character is better than a handful of forgettable ones.
