Xavier is more and more unrecognisable in the game. Recent couple of festival text messages, are utterly insulting to read, so ooc. The early World underneath , anecdotes, built up several layers when it came to shaping him. But later writing doesn’t seem to grasp even one of those layers. It stays completely on the surface, like low-quality fanfiction that just keeps circling around the same labels and repeating them. If you don’t truly understand the characters, you can’t uncover where their sense of being real, living people comes from. And without that, you can’t develop anything new from them either. Even when the later stories try to call back to earlier material, that’s already the better case. Sometimes the callback itself ends up OOC. And then the original versions of them get overwritten all over again.
