Tressa, Chapter 3

Guess who's back, back again... Knick and Knack, tell a friend. Mikk and Makk remind me of the two Pirates from Pirates of the Caribbean that are meant to serve as comic relief. I feel like there isn't enough substance to Tressa's story and they are meant to be filler though.

I'm disappointed in this Chapter. The story doesn't feel like it's Tressa's story, and is instead Leon's story. There's also the high dependence on convenience, like Leon even being here, the trading a map for a shield that was also in town, and the map leading to a buried treasure right outside of town. Convenient story telling, kind of at it's worst.

The whole Chapter could have even been washed away if Tressa could learn to keep her mouth shut and read things to herself. She probably could have bought the map outright for cheaper that trading for the shield without even realizing what it was she had gotten and stumbled into a massive windfall. The treasure being that close to town though, a town full of fighters, you'd think it'd just be easier to have the merchant lead a crew to get it himself.

You learn very little about Tressa in this Chapter. It's almost assuredly her family that's her most precious thing, but that's about the only thing we can associate to Tressa from this Chapter in total. Tressa ends up just being completely outshone by Leon on the story-telling front, and as much as I like Leon, I feel like it's a misstep since I should care more about Tressa since we have a limited amount of time to deliver her story as it is.

On a brighter side of revisiting Victor's Hollow, I found the old man ship captain that was meant to go back to Goldshore since I've started paying attention to the NPCs and their dialogues, so that's another quest in the bag. We'll see how Tressa's story wraps up, but it's starting to feel pretty weak at the moment.
