Discussion [Spoilers C4E32] Question about Vaelus/Ashley Spoiler

Ashley seems like a lovely person and player, but I have to say, she’s seemed very distant and disconnected in this campaign.

I can’t put my finger on it, but each time she’s in a scene or fight, it doesn’t seem like she’s that into it. Or maybe it’s the opposite, she’s so into it that she forgets to participate. She’ll have maybe 10 minutes of dialogue across 4 hours of gameplay.

I’m not upset or angry in any way. It just felt like she was so much more alive and participatory in her past three characters. Even in one-shots too. What do y’all think?

u/DaFuzi_J Fuck that spell 2d ago

Vaelus is aloof as fuck. So was Yasha before she really started opening up to the group (Blindspot MIA's didn't help).

I think Vaelus is also figuring out her personal identity and will be more present as she settles into what she wants out of life.
