Wyll in his original concept of being an absolute fraud with a hero complex and a taste for power who has a burning vengeful hatred for goblins and a complicated relationship with Mizora is the foundation for a flawed, interesting character.

Wyll as is in the game is like the blandest thing I can think of, like the character equivalent of eating cardboard.

He has moments where he's a hero aflame for justice at any cost, which is legitimately cool, but mixed in with everything else, wherein he comes off either as 'generic genuinely nice fellow' or 'incoherent'

Starting as a 'subversion' of the typical wandering hero do-gooder, and then being rewritten as a straight example, was a bad choice. I don't know which was preferable, but I do know that they borked the landing in trying to switch from one to the other.
