Hey mate, I read youplease bring Maya back as the protagonist.
Not sure how well informed you are but I can clarify this: Maya as the protag is still there. The game will have two protagonists and the story content will be evenly split between them. You start out as Max, an outworld member of an exploration mission and get to know Kerpal through the eyes of a newcomer first. After a certain point in the story you unlock Maya and from that point forward can switch freely between the two characters. Maya, still has her flight and has a lot of very nice quest content both in the main story and side quests.
I know this narrative design wont be well recieved by some people but it is what we think works best for the story we want to tell and the game we want to make.
Speaking from a completely personal viewpoint tho, between you and me.. I agree with you. But we are too far in development to make yet another massive change to the direction we are going. From here on out we just want to push for finishing this game. We have learned a lot about this genre and about what people want and also about what we want and intend to apply those learnings to the next project.
I hope this was able to clear some things for you,
Cheers
