Your character as background decoration <Spoilers>

Actually, Velthice was referring to if they made the escape a fight, an actual fight, instead of a scripted sequence like a cutscene. NPC healers are terrible and not to be relied upon, ever. I've had to redo countless fights because the NPC there was about as timely as a the weather...

well 1st of all the discussion is about cut scenes and how your character is background decoration and not about combat and AI so the argument is irrelevant. 2nd IF there was a fight like that even with npcs there would be no argument because the argument is that your character didn't do shit. 3rd no one is arguing the outcome so even if everyone died (think crisis core ending) after being overwhelmed by soldiers but fighting no one would complain. the only problem with the ending is your character not doing anything.

That would be boring.
If there is a fight, then let us fight ourselve.
In every story fight with cutscene we entered the battle field and not just watched.
CS1 -> battle -> CS2

It was since 1.0 this way with character battle within story CS

This would be interesting

1. fight back
2. don't fight

Player choose #1 10 times and die 10 times (with a bad ending CS). Then he choose #2 and the story continue ^^

They don't need to give you 2 cut scenes, you chose #1 fight, your friends die you escape (having fought) you dont fight, your friends die you escape (like a coward) same outcome.
