Traveler's lack of thinking (Dirge of Bilqis)

Not rage bait. This is actually how I feel: Does anyone else resent Traveler for enthusiastically assisting Jeht with Azariq’s murder? All he wanted to do was end Babel’s cruelty. He wanted to discuss things like adults. But Jeht interrupted him by screaming like a toddler. Which made Traveler want to help. The Dirge of Bilqis world quest genuinely made me feel awful for him. Azariq is NOT a traitor.

You can't talk someone like Babel out of their mindset.

Don't worry, I will personally convince Mother Babel to change her ways.

indeed not his finest hour

Only wanted to end Babel's cruelty.... while colluding with Fatui... and the other Tanit that got 'exiled'. Don't pretend he's not just as much of a two faced snake as Babel is. 'Work with me. Oh, and kill your friend.' That's not exactly something that makes someone very trustworthy.

It's funny how it's only in the world missions that a part of his personality is shown; some people believe the traveler is stupid, silly, and naive where these missions show that he is nothing like that.

I don't get how Jeht is popular. She did terrible things. Saying "well, Babel gaslighted her into doing those" doesn't make her victims any less dead.

Like that other tribes woman who genuinely saw Jeht as a sister, but she was a rival to Babel so Jeht went camping under the moonlight with her and then just stabbed her in the back.

Nothing ever mentioned about her many crimes. Babel made her do it as total blanket excuse for everything.

Because it shows the complexity of her character and the story did a good job telling that anyone, including Jeht and even the traveler can do evil just given the right circumstances.

We read a note of his later where he says he's colluding with Babel and the fatui and was planning on marrying Jeht in order to rein in her influence

I feel like the traveler has always been a hypocritical asshole. You can especially see this in their relationships with the fatui.

Automatically hates every single fatui member, even goes out of their way to harass a harmless soldier who's just picking berries. Confidently says all "fatui dogs" should "lick the floor."

But when it comes to befriending the psycho leaders of the fatui? They're first in line. A woman who grooms kids into becoming child soldiers, an ex-serial killer, a guy who was fully willing to flood an entire populated city, a colonizer who ripped a guy's tongue out, so on and so forth.

Their moral compass is totally inconsistent, they just act on a whim for personal gain.

Even if he was right about Babel, he wasn't a good person.

It would've been more like "Freed? Nope, under new management" type of situation has we helped him.
