I want to address this, because this is very important. Spoilers for The Ruined King game.
In the game, it is shown to us that Viego was an abusive husband in his time with Isolde. Now normally, most people would just grow an even bigger hate boner for him-which started from his passive-and then hate everything involving him.
But I am no normal person. I am a Viego main and a lore enjoyer, so I did some digging.
And I found while playing the game and through other means of information, that these visions were fake. As it turns out, they were Viego's fears/an exaggeration of couple fights. Illaoi and Ahri literally say that in the game.
And this, is what pisses me off. Because now the writers have shown ANOTHER VERSION of an already written character. From what I have seen we have yet to get a consistent way Viego is written.
To note, over the course of the retcons, Viego went from:
- A tragic man blinded by love willing to do whatever it takes to get his love back(pre-SoL).
- To an asshole for simply wanting to revive his loved one who deserves to be hated and suffer for having a human flaw.(SoL)
-To a complete piece of shit who abused Isolde(ruined king game).
It seems for whatever reason they just want to make Viego a despicable villain instead of a tragic character. Even Necritos of Camavor (Viego's advisor and Necrit's supposed character) has said that Viego was loved by his subjects, and above all else, he loved his queen, and that she was everything to him.
Does that destroy the idea of him being abusive? No, but the points I made before certainly do. It makes no sense what-so-ever, and I don't believe any of it.
It also makes me glad I am writing this story, because with this story I can make Viego a true better man, and...well...If I said anymore, that would ruin the story. Speaking of, I do not know when the next chapter will come out. It has been a pain juggling personal life, writing, and school while this is going on. But I hope you all know I am doing everything I can to get this out.
May the mist guide you well. -TheKazooBirb
