About "wael"

[Ben No.3]

Just saw that "Wael" is a old Arabic name. It is believed that it means "protector", "rescuer" or "he who seeks refugee"....

 

This is interesting

Hmm... I suppose you could consider Wael to be a protector and rescuer of mysteries and forbidden lore I guess. Might just be coincidence though, as Wael given how short Wael is.

 

That said, it is interesting as I've learnt something new.

 

I hope Wael is explored more in PoE2. I feel that there are some great possibilities for quests involving him and his clergy given his strange nature. He's probably not main quest material*, but a good length side quest would be cool.

 

*Well, I think he could be main quest material, but if he were it would probably have to be a Torment style weird quest. Nothing wrong whatsoever with Torment style weird quests, but I suspect PoE2 will stick to the more classic fantasy and let Torment: Tides of Numenara do the Torment style weird questery.

You know what would be awesome as a reward for the wael quest? An item (or maybe even talent?) that has a 15% chance (it something along that) to make normal loot hidden loot, but also a 20% chance to make hidden loot visible.

Or, more fittingly, a talent which hides item descriptions so you have literally no idea what any of your items do
