Like many others I feel that newer and newer characters (albeit Ylva is an ancient one at this point and a female orc was probably necessary)9 month wait for .... Ylva? Was the character highly requested or something?
Wind up with these 20 page odysseys.
The thing is: becoming involved in the orc rituals (Ylva is a shaman) and politics I think was part of the draw when you could still take the game seriously. It's harder to give a fuck now about the more sorcerous and mysterious elements when you look closely at what's happening to the game and how much longer IT WILL TAKE when BRANCHES (Tekrok, Dajrab- he's not a real branch, Rokgrid, Solo Sabia, BRIS NOW?, Ornshakar) actually do their thing and - branch.
Not to mention the plethora of other characters that like Ylva may sit in the story's central arcs regardless of branch.
Ylva was a smart addition in theory, but her scenes were never taht great IMHO and her role would suggest, at least it did for me after her first update, she's a key character but probably not til later in the game.
So she just sat there looking hot but only like 3 interactions.
If only they'd idk- fire their coder, hire more staff (fuck pay me a bit and I'll handle some of these fuckin' 20+ loose ends and side stories)
The game was always going to be monumental but now they have 0 work ethic, a mountain of shit to do, fix, update, and add-
and well, 3 guys? An occasional freelancer?
To answer your question directly even though this is a rant mostly: No I doubt Ylva was HIGHLY requested.
