My major problem was...
The ESCAPE scene. OK I can buy being captured. It's stupid but OK.
I can buy no one stepping in to help. It's actually pragmatic since there ARE innocents in the room.
I CANNOT buy all the scions needing to do that "hold the line!" thing. We're stronger than they are. That's why they turn to us to kill Primals. To kill MASSIVE UBER DRAGONS like the one we JUST KILLED. You know...the REASON we're there in the first place.
WE should be the ones holding the line so THEY can escape. It's even the heroic thing to do.
Not even getting into the fact that we're basically immortal while they aren't.
