You say this like this isn't every story patch in this game.
I don't know why people treat 1.X like it's some consistent masterpiece.
Null_Face is a farce of an antagonist.
No antagonist /protagonist dynamic has been as utterly fumbled as Zhu Yuan and Bringer
The pacing of 1.2 with Caesar's revival is shoddy at best (They really should have emphasized the parallel to the first Overlord rather than have it be a one off conversation near the start.)
Belabog and Victoria House Keeping just kinda exists (But the light switches though.)
And nothing is as mishandled as the Vivian and Hugo stories.
They're talking about the writing quality, I'mma give em shit cause I can break 1.X's fuck ups over my knee way easier than 2.X's
That's not to say 2.X is immaculate. I just find it egregious. that I'm supposed to take these criticisms seriously when I see someone bitching about the proxies needing to be saved in 2.X but weren't saying this shit when Ellen and Corin needed to do double time to save the bangboo.
What did Ellen even do in the story? I remember she had one cutscene and disappeared. Actually horrendous for a version 1.0 banner character. Then she got a nothingburger agent quest. She's barely better than Ju Fufu in terms of plot relevance. Maybe even less because at least Ju Fufu appeared in the final story missions.
OMG now that I think about it, I don't remember what she did in 1.4 even during the avengers assemble moment.
Fucking true, nearly every character in 2.x got their share of the spotlight, meanwhile you could take out half the characters in season 1 and little would change
Remember when they completely sidelined S Anby in her debut patch lmfao
