Various Criticisms
- One main thing that comes to mind is the weird out of the blue fatphobia with the character Vauthry in SHB. It also almost feels like they tried to excuse Vauthry by bracketing him in with Dulia-Chai, it's like they were saying “Look! Were not fatphobic! We can make good fat characters too!” and then couldn't resist making fat wife crushes husband jokes on top of that. In the grand scheme of things It's pretty minor, but it made me super uncomfortable, especially with the lack of fat characters in literally every other part of the game.
- The Hildebrand quest lines…. Man….. overall they're pretty harmless, just okay stories with mid jokes and some surprisingly fun trials. I'm not sure why they decided to make these mandatory for the relic weapon in EW, but god were these a slog to get through. On top of all that, in SB and I think HS there were “man in dress funny” transmisogynistic jokes that made me viscerally uncomfortable. Fortunately, it only happens for like a scene and that's it, but it's still very gross, and I hate the devs for forcibly exposing me to them.
- This one's pretty minor comparatively, but late game fights, especially those in EW, don't feel like they were built with positionals in mind. Maybe it's just cause I'm bad at juggling my rotation and moving at the same time, but a lot of the time the boss either moves too much or the hitbox is too big to reliably hit them.
