That makes me think, if this is the most divisive content in the game, then what is the most universally liked one? Or at least content with the least amount of controversy.
That depends really on what we're talking about, for example:
If we talking universally liked characters then I'd think Brienne and Vari (Evergreen maybe too? I know I like her) take the cake, ESPECIALLY now that after first encounter Vari becomes stationary in the frostwoods rather than a random encounter, that was the only gripe some people had YEARS ago when level 6 was still new, the "Pick a Fight" button didn't existed and only frostwood offered a challenge, leveling up there was HELL since you would try to keep fighting enemies only to randomly encounter the kitsune lumberjack no one gives a fuck for, the magic caravan, the chocolate kitsune ninja or vari and break your stride.
If we're talking quest-wise? hmn...can't think of anything...maybe the quest in the ice palace where we meet Ryn's grandmothers? I thought that was a cool quest and Ryn has always recognized us so her quest was cool to me (yes I know she gets a powerboostfrom it instead of us but it makes sense story-wise and we also get a bunch of cool items and new spells so I'll allow it)
