As the Avatar he has the inherent ability and proficiency to do so, he's the most powerful bender but he lacks mastery & control. That's the whole point of the entire Jeong Jeong arc.

Pavi and Nisha already being able to bend all four elements isn't a retcon, this has always been the case, they're far from masters. The Avatar trains to master them, to learn to control them fully, not to learn the elements themselves. It's always there as long as the Avatar is spiritually/personally connected to the element.

When she comes across that birthday message and says hi, smiling ear to ear. When she's eagerly standing there with the berries after seeing other children, only to get shunned. When that blonde twat hits her with a rock. Made me ugly cry again, just like the first time.

Joris de Man is the man

Unpopular opinion maybe but I kinda love the "The world's destroyer, not its saviour" angle, that the Avatar mythos has completely turned on its head.

Midway through creating the world, Andag, Nassur, and Sheema grew tired.

At first, they wanted to give up, but then Nassur and Andag spit onto the Earth, and from their saliva the first humans were formed. They provided the gods with a great deal of help, but were weak and died easily.

Then another one of the gods, the one whose name must not be spoken, spilled his blood onto the Earth, and thus the first vrakhir was born. He was strong and long-lived and of great use, but soon defied all the gods but the one who had created him, so he was cast out.

But Sheema did not cease trying. She used the vrakhir’s fang and weaved her web around it for days, until she created the first Pilgrim of the Dawn. He was a man, but also a vrakhir, and so he was a perfect balance.

And all gods were content, apart from the one whose name must not be spoken, and whose creation, the vrakhir, had been rejected. And to this day, his hatred towards humans and all the other gods has not diminished.

It is hilarious that the game immediately establishes Coen as a professional MILF hunter, right in the beginning. I loved their back and forth so much, as well as the entire relationship. I hope we get to see Anca in the next game too, she's so cool and pretty.

On one hand we've got the obsessed, immortal (1000+ years old and biologically middle-aged) predator who groomed a teenager and then stalked, manipulated and tried to kidnap an (only by a few years) older version of said teenager

And on the other another immortal, a deplorable narcissist who established himself as a cult leader and planned to brainwash everyone using mind control technologies, to rule over them as their God-Emperor on a new world. Who took advantage of the naivety of his young female followers and made them audition for the role of his "mate", also obsessively modeled after his lover from a millennium ago

Who wins?

I hope the flying mount options get expanded in the next game, I'd love aerial combat segments in missions

Just imagine what his moveset would be like
