Nobody is saying he's better at literally everything when it comes to writing. I'm simply saying that considering what the game provides, he is generally the best writer. The others are either too inconsistent, don't have enough content to judge, or are just boring.
I think we haven't really seen enough different kinds of Wsan stuff to judge other aspects of his writing, either.
Has he written any quests? Any lore-heavy pieces? Has he done any significant character building work, like Aileh's pregnancy and (wildly adorable) kid and visit from Kass, or seeing how everyone reacts differently to the kids in the classroom?
So far, we haven't really hit any plot heavy segments of KM, and all the story stuff there has been written by others. I'm just curious to see how well he handles it.
All of these are minor parts of their characters and don't really mean anything when they're your companions. In fact, Arona just fucking leaves her leadership position and lets Hretha do it just to join you and doesn't really talk about it again. The only companion I can think of that genuinely feels like they have their own thing going on is Cait, which is done pretty well.
Eh, I feel like Ryn definitely has a lot going on. We get scenes of her actually being a queen and motivating her people, the Winter Ball, the quest involving her ghost ancestors, your acquisition of the Wayfort is set in place by her...
But yeah, a lot of the other companions just don't have enough content to be at that same level. I feel like some of them are setting up arcs that will (theoretically) pay off in the long run, but I'm sure some of them never will.
That can be said for most sex-able characters. What's Hretha/Infrith got going for them besides being breeding orcs? Every character in the mare village is just for sex, the barber shop girls are just for sex, Dahliza is just there to do things for you and have sex with, Evergreen is there mostly just to progress plot and have a mommy fetish character, Nihara is there to have a gentledom kinda character, Kiyoko and Gwyn are just there for a broodmother fetish, Vitra's just a dickgirl to fuck, etc. None of these characters are ones you're going to talk to again if you don't want to fuck them. You'll go through their talk scenes once and just interact with them when you want a scene with them again. Wsan is just more upfront about it.
I think that distinction is important in perception of a character, though. Hretha has a background and connection to other characters enough that I feel she's as well-rounded as a random NPC needs to be. She encourages you to romance Ragnild, sends you off to get the dress, gives her opinion on the well-being of the clan and her sister's place in it, etc.
Of course you can boil every NPC's importance down to "what fetish do they serve and/or do they have a mechanical impact", but the window dressing, and making them
seem like they have a place in the world really does a lot for my perception of a character.
That, and I do feel like it would be a pretty easy problem to resolve if Savin just reigned Wsan and told him to wait a bit before getting to the sex scenes.
I don't know that I'd even put it on the level of a "problem", per se. More of a style than anything.
Well, I take that back, the way Evelyn was introduced was definitely a little bit weird for me, but nothing I couldn't get over.
