It mostly feels like, "Oh hey, you're a damn strong warrior and you ended up fighting alongside my Vrykul. You're going to be the leader of my army. Also we made sure you remained alive." (That last part made me chuckle. My warrior is Undead.)
-An army that was originally written to be stuck in Skyhold, but you can send them down to do missions in Broken Isle.
-A class hall that now has its first non-Vrykul guest. Yet there's tons of non-vrykul(player) warriors running around.
-The insults or put downs by Vrykul and more, throughout Stormheim and Halls of Valor. You're barely recognized, even though you're their champion. Unless you wield the Fury weapons, which gives you a couple extra snippets of dialogue.
It's been said by others on the warrior forums, but Vrykul's story feels too open for anyone to come in. They could have been a faction with Skyhold as a base of operation in a future patch. Hell, that may eventually be the case unless they want to dismiss this massive, stormforged army floating in the sky.
It feels less like Warrior fantasy/lore, and more like Vrykul fantasy/lore. But they over-associate warriors with vrykul. Especially since, as people have seen in the Halls of Valor, not everyone there is a warrior. They have rune casters, archers, hunters, shield maidens, valkyr, and lastly warriors.
Due to the fantasy, warriors lose out on many big-name warriors that could have joined us in Skyhold. Instead we get 3 new followers that have very, very little development. And then Thorim/Hodir. I wouldn't even call either Thorim or Hodir warriors, they're Keepers that both wield a specific element. They might wield a melee weapon, but it doesn't feel very warrior-esque to me.
