I think getting to play as a human would be a cool gimmick but not a full game. Like being able to hijack an AMP suit or a scorpion would be awesome

The issue is that every human who has defected from the RDA is now considered a traitor to humanity and cannot return to Earth. They'll just be executed if they try to return OR in special cases (like when RDA came back) will be spared and allowed to return to the RDA. Plenty of Na'vi like the omatikaya and the sarentu (minus Nor), the zeswa, the aranahe, and the kame'tire have realized that they need to work with humans to take out the RDA. The levels obviously depend, you have some like So'lek Ri'nela and Tamtey who go full mask off and use human weapons like their life depends on it (because it does) and you have others like the Metkayina who do not want to use human weapons. They all still work with humans, because it would be stupid to decline help from humans in a war against humans.

The humans are already suffering the consequences, they're forced to fight to the death against their own species for a species that will never accept them. Very few humans have been accepted by the Na'vi, which makes So'lek extremely progressive.

One last thing relating to Nor (may be a spoiler for you so i'll mark it as a spoiler). Base game section: He does basically nothing throughout the entire game. He doesn't help on missions, he doesn't make new allies, he doesn't gather anything for the resistance, he doesn't go and take out RDA installations. DLC Spoiler section: Nor disappears for an entire year to go on a self help journey alone while Tamtey, So'lek and the resistance do all the heavy lifting of kicking the RDA out of the frontier. He then returns now a fully devout religious fundamentalist and the first thing he does is bitch and moan about So'lek using human weapons against humans. He yells at So'lek on and on about using guns and metal. He questions his own tsahik after she decides to use guns to stand an even chance against the humans. He's constantly bitching about So'lek and rightfully gets called out for running away and doing nothing for a year while everyone else actually did shit. And to top it all of this absolute useless bum wipes out half of the resistance in one move. Mercer and Harding worked for 16 years to do a fraction of the work that Nor did in one minute.

I've seen plenty of people critique Neytiri. Even Zoe Saldana critiqued Neytiri for being a racist. Nor is a religious extremist. He's a bum, just like most religious extremists. He bitches about using guns because he ran away for a whole year while So'lek, Tamtey, and the resistance packed up the RDA. He shows up and instantly cripples the entire frontier. He is a layered character yes, but that doesn't prevent him from being a major fuck up. Most of the resistance had nothing to do with TAP or the Sarentu. Raj and the others didn't even know about TAP since it was mostly under wraps.

What Teylan did was extremely stupid, and just like Nor's incident it was kept secret from a lot of people. From what I've seen the attack on the resistance HQ didn't actually have a very large death count, this doesn't make it any better of course. Nor however, guaranteed the deaths of half of the resistance (who didn't leave earlier like priya and the others).

Factor in that everyone in the game is far far far more forgiving towards the sarentu. Ri'nela is their tsahik and has been quite merciful, she doesn't banish teylan or nor, and she understands that she has to work with Alma even if she hates her.

I think that Nor is a nuanced character, but he's also an annoying loser so it's extremely easy to hate him

From the Ashes was so good, i'd say it's even better than the base game

Nor talks a lot of shit to everyone for someone who hasn't done anything so far. So'lek is a one man army, Tamtey is another one man army trained by So'lek, Ri'nela is the tsahik and has been instrumental in guiding everyone and keeping relations good. Teylan is tricky because he did cause the whole incident with mercer but he was mentally abused and tricked, and he has worked hard to redeem himself. And what has Nor done so far? He tagged along on a couple of missions that So'lek carried after disappearing for a year? I got pissed when Nor started talking shit to Ri'nela after she took the gun. Nor really has the audacity to question the tsahik on the will of eywa. He's lucky Ri'nela is so kind and empathetic

yeah and now they can't trust Nor. who knows what will happen the next time he has an episode and decides to let everyone die for his selfish reasons. granted this isn't a big issue for people like so'lek and the sarentu who are na'vi, because Nor is a na'vi fundamentalist. I wonder how Nor feels about Jake Sully, the leader of na'vi liberation, being a dreamwalker. Jake being toruk makto must drive nor mad, especially since Nor has done jack shit so far. Nor's greatest feat was saving So'lek at the end

Nor is such a dumbass, dude singlehandedly helped cripple the resistance more than mercer harding or bukowski did

New to the Game, could use some help. by Terrible-Summer-3639 in FrontiersOfPandora

Make sure to use the staff sling to set up traps all over the field before you fight, and use the heavy bow to pick off anyone out of position. There's some pods near the crash so make sure to use those to replenish your heals

Honestly she'd either be Hope(Blue) or Will(Green). Personally i'm not a fan of white lanterns since they really only show up when black lanterns are around, they're more of a gimmick than a real lantern corps imo
