What do you all do when MSQ events necessitate knowledge of the WoL?
For example... You wouldn't need to be too high up in Ul'dah to know that the WoL was involved in that fiasco at the end of 2.55. Or that the WoL was involved in the very public Ishgardian fiasco at the end of 3.1.
There's a lot of MSQ events that even if your character isn't part of it... they really would've heard about them.
Yeah, you can refer to him as just 'the Warrior of Light', but if your partner isn't conscientious and has their character ask you what they look like...
Just weird. It's a pickle. At this point in time, with all the High profile things the WoL has done everyone should really know what they look like.... A Miqo'te... an Au Ra... whatever they are, our characters should really know, but to be respectful we have to have them feign ignorance.
Well, canonically, he's the highlander guy.
The way I handle this is either my character hears about them through the rumor grapevine and therefore the details, if any, get muddied ("Hey, there was this big scene up in Ishgard where some dragon showed up!") or hasn't heard about them at all. A lot of people put a lot of effort into manipulating the public perception of events in the end of 2.x.
Oh, and since fighting Primals was mentioned, I'll just say that not everyone agrees with Val's assessment, and those interested in the arguments on either side may find the search function instructive.
