I admit there is very little, but you present that as something inherently bad. I believe there's very little and that's all there needs to be for such a character.

And cliche is essentially just a pejorative version of archetype in this case, and at any rate that's personal. I don't feel it comes off as particularly cliche.

And how the hell is it a forced twist? That makes no sense. The Dragon makes an offer to each Arisen, it just so happens that Edmun took up that offer. It's not exactly deus ex, it's sensibly established. Especially considering just which entity is giving this offer. Hardly a twist, let alone forced.

Well it's objectively minimal, whether you like it or not. I mean you're the one complaining about how minimal the exposition is, I'm just someone that appreciates minimal exposition, because I don't think anymore was necessary for this character.

The thing I like about the world-building and the narrative of Dragon's Dogma is that there's just enough context given, still with a lot left to the imagination. Not to too great an extent, but enough that it doesn't shit on anyone trying to enable a narrative of their own within the game's world. And I like that, I like not being shoehorned into a narrative like that. Just the right amount of potential ambiguity.
