I never really felt the Scions died. However, I'm going to actually be more surprised at this point if all of them live with minimal "damage" (Y'shtola going blind isn't much in the grand scheme of things); my money is on Yda or Papalymo dying (which is the pair I really want back. Was hoping Y'shtola would be dead, but noooooo). Moen's death didn't really have much impact on anything, since she was new and we didn't know her well.

As good as it is for Nanamo to be alive...it feels really cheap. The way it was wrapped up let me down a bit too, most likely because I was unhappy she was just drugged. I feel the story would have been better going off her being dead and Lolorito having to deal with the consiquences, and our rage.

I'm also not sure Iceheart is dead; she has the Echo and harbors a Primal. I'm sure she'll be back, though probably changed a bit. Estinien is, at least for now, just "bound" by Nidhogg. We'll likely get him back briefly before he makes the ultimate sacrifice to kill Nidhogg for good.

Hauchefant...we *saw* him die. It was a *very* emotional scene, and all the cutscenes referencing him also had emotion to them. And that's why I'm not sure he's gone for good. I can't think of any other time our character did more than nod or another basic emotion. I don't know how he would come back at this point, but if we consider the Triad maybe something can happen there...or, worst case scenario, the Warrior of Darkness steps in...
