I didn't mind not having the Scions around, but the first act of Heavensward (up to Nidhogg's defeat) was rather long and done entirely in recompense for Ishgard sheltering us. Our rescue attempt then leads into the second act, which is done entirely because we're the Scions and primal slaying is our MO.

Nidhogg's rage is understandable, but it's the fact that he's pointing it at people undeserving of it that puts him in the wrong. The people who wronged him he either killed or are long dead, and the Dragonsong War is not a war meant to be won - it's an eternal punishment upon Isghard, even though modern Ishgardians are lied to as to why they're fighting their war against the Dravanian Horde. It's not that his fury is wrong, but that it's entirely misplaced, and he has no intention of ever giving it up. Thus, in order to save countless lives and save countless more from becoming enslaved to Nidhogg's vengeance, we put him down.

Yes, dragon lifetimes are far longer than that of a mortal's, but that excuse wore very thin. If it's Thordan and his Knights Twelve who wronged you, and they're dead, why do you need to continue exacting vengeance upon their children, and their children's children, for eternity?
