TBH, I feel bad for Sara at this point. He wasn't a bad guy prior to 2013. It was hinted that he had a darker side to him, sure, but basically everything about him starting with The World Wakes is overwhelmingly negative. The wing ripping thing was brought up in a battle between Armadyl and Bandos that didn't even involve him. Conversely, there's no emphasis on what should be the positive sides of his character. He's built vast and thriving civilizations that seem like some of the best places for ordinary folks to live. He gave his followers a good sense of right and wrong, and the majority of the ones who don't know him personally are very likeable. However he doesn't seem to play by his own rules, and it's never explained what his philosophy even is besides 'I am the only god.' Tweaking a character to be more pragmatic to try and balance them out is one thing, but this feels more like character assassination of what used to be an entertaining character in the god letters.
On lore related terms, are we going to need his cooperation for using the elder crown to track down Kerapac who is now bound to the needle?
