Question, genuine question, for people that don't or didn't like Naomie, Yorna, or Blaire. Did their stories turn your opinion around at all?
I ask because none of those three really resonated with me when they first got to the house, though Yorna's been growing on me during the events I've accidentally started with her and the various main story events. Lyriel's story, despite certain behavioural...irregularities she displayed at times, made me love her. Rae, on the other hand, I liked at the start, but have been growing to hate her as her story has progressed, to the point of putting her in the "Ignore" pile like the other three.
This is my first time playing the game, and it just seems a waste to only go through (about) 2.5 of the character stories (Cait's, Lyriel's, and Azraesha's up to the point of hating her). But at the same time, putting time into characters that I don't like feels like a waste of that time.
