Conflict in Fantasy

Why does getting character motivation right matter for your story, and how can you get the right balance of creating a complicated character, without overly complicating the plot?

Sidenote that I should have mentioned during the video, but it's fine to have your character have more than one motivation, like a love interest, just make sure to tie it into the main motivation driving them somehow, since this will help you keep the story feeling cohesive.
