0 Days Since I made myself sad about Ansuran

Words can not describe how infuriating I think it is that Ansur is a part of Wyll's companion mission. It literally has nothing to do with him, but it provides great world building. We learn more about Balduran, legends of Baldur's Gate, and about the Emperor. But we learn NOTHING new about Wyll.

Wyll is also used to connect and introduce new characters. Like Karlach, Mizora, Duke Ravengaurd, Florrick, Duke Stelmane, etc. He just adds a little more backstory to these characters. Besides hearing the strain on his and his father's relationship, we don't learn more about Wyll.

Compare that to Jaheira who also connects and introduces a few characters. It's the other harpers who she leads, her best friend Minsc, and her children. These add world building but let us see and understand Jaheira as a character more.

Also comparing Jaheira and Wyll's stories, Wyll is the "blade of the frontier" but it's mentioned just a bit. While we see Karlach literally fangirl of Jaheira because of the tales of Jaheira. I understand that Jaheira is from the previous games, and she's been a hero for a much longer time. But Wyll is a hero too and known well enough to have a nickname. They should have at least some books or someone at the Grove fangirling over him.
