Too Many People Ignore Wyll Ravengard, One of the Greatest Characters in Baldur's Gate 3

The acclaimed In the gaming business, Baldur's Gate 3 has caused quite a stir for almost everything that gamers could possibly dream of. The method used to modify the Dungeons & Dragons 5e system, character development, and story are all excellent, however Too many fans are losing out on Wyll Ravengard, which is one important thing.All of the companions in Baldur's Gate 3 have their fans, but Wyll is frequently left out of fandom discussions. Despite the fact that many have worked to have him included online, he is still incredibly underappreciated, and we are here to tell you why you should give the Blade of Frontiers more affection.

With a tragic twist, Wyll embodies the classic folk hero archetype

The player encounters Wyll in the first act when they stumble across the goblin ambush in the Grove. Wyll is presented with a masterfully done sequence that explains to the player what he's all about right away: flamboyant heroics and traditional do-gooding. In addition, even though he is known as the "Blade of Frontiers," Wyll is a complete sweetheart, and despite how many tieflings faun over him and his abilities, he still stays quite modest. He is stranded in a similar predicament to all the other players in your party when players first see him, helping to teach the tiefling kids, having contracted the Mind Flayer parasite.Wyll grudgingly informs the player that he managed to get infected while chasing a demon in Avernus, which isn't the usual activity the traditional storybook hero type like Wyll would normally be up to. This makes it clear very immediately that Wyll isn't all he seems to be. His stone eye also has an unsettling resemblance to a Sending Stone, a magical artifact from Dungeons & Dragons that facilitates communication across great distances. In any case, he is eager to go with you as long as you swear to him that you will help the tieflings reach Baldur's Gate safely and assist him in killing the demon he has been pursuing. His own quest line, The Blade of Frontiers, now becomes accessible.

Wyll's past comes to light as players get to know him better. The only child of the well-known Duke Ulder Ravengard of Baldur's Gate, Wyll was brought up among the other aristocratic families in the city, but he had a rebellious streak and would frequently run away to spend time with children from lower socioeconomic backgrounds and train with his father. From an early age, Wyll was expected to fulfill his father's wishes for him, which included following in Ulder's footsteps as a member of the Flaming Fist, succeeding him as the future Duke Ravengard, and carrying on his heritage as a protector of the city.However, Wyll's world collapsed when he was only seventeen years old. After witnessing his father's elevation to the title of Grand Duke at a very early age and sending him to Elturel to help resolve one of the several political conflicts of the day, Wyll started to hear eerie whispering in the night that he go to Dusthawk Hall by himself. There, Wyll claims to have seen Dragon Cultists trying to call forth the ferocious and very strong entity Tiamat in order to wipe out the city. Wyll was a young, desperate man who couldn't halt the attack by himself until a cambion by the name of Mizora unexpectedly contacted him and gave him the chance to preserve the city he loved so dearly. His family promised to defend his city, his father's city.Wyll struck the deal, giving his soul in exchange for the ability to rescue the city. To his dismay, his father did not consider Wyll's decision to be a selfless act upon his return from Elturel. Rather, Wyll was thrown out of his house and the city he had given his soul to defend by his distraught and enraged father.

Wyll only needs you in his corner; he doesn't need you to fix him.

Wyll is a victim of circumstance, much like the other companions in Baldur's Gate 3. He is a victim, a young guy who was easily taken advantage of and misled into believing that what he was doing to defend his upbringing was a brave deed. Having said that, Wyll doesn't seem to have many, if any, hidden reasons for joining you, in contrast to some of your other friends, particularly those you meet very early on. Though he is well aware of Mizora's cunning and vicious nature, he was unaware that the "devil" he was sent after, Karlach, was really a tiefling coerced into Zariel's service.Furthermore, he never makes you feel guilty for getting healthy, even though it's obvious that he's continuously threatened by his Warlock patron and scared sick for his father's safety despite their tumultuous relationship. Wyll promises to defend the party and that he alone is capable of containing Mizora's fury from the moment the party learns that he is a cambion employed by Zariel. Even more generously, he would gladly forfeit his second chance at life at Baldur's Gate to accompany Karlach back into Avernus and fight by her, enabling her to go on living and seeking a solution to her devilish engine problems. Wyll has a heart of gold, despite the negative perception that Warlocks often have. Even though everyone has faults in their personalities, Wyll makes it so easy to support him and desire to walk his own quest path; we just wish the game had more of him for players to interact with.Wyll Ravengard demonstrates that you can be a hero in spite of all that occurs to you as long as you keep going ahead and keep your head held high.
