But it was still slow enough for Haurchefant to shout at us, we stopping to look back, him running towards us and then shielding us and then it took a few seconds until the shield breaks while we still stand there watching. Its just frustating that this happens to the same person that before that survived a whole dungeon with them without getting any wound and after that is able to defeat Thordan and his knights which are stated to be the most difficult of the primals to that point, completely alone too and again without a single wound.

At least with Ysayle we were on a flying ship with a huge airship constantly firing at us. The amount of attacks and the small space would have made a fight impossible, and us even being able to damage such a ship would be kinda impossible too so it makes sense that this situation was bad. I mean we could still probably just teleport away but that would leave our comrades in danger and a falling ship would certainly mean death for them. This scene makes sense and thus I could kinda accept the sacrifice. Also her actions changed the story because Garlemald was forced to land their ship there, which might otherwise be used in battle which might have changed the outcome to the worse for us later.

His death changed nothing at all. Injuring him or him throwing us to the side would have had the same overall consequenes. For example a bad wound would have stopped us from following Thordan and he might not have been able to fight anymore thus he would have been pulled out of the overall plot, his brother would have needed to grow up and this might have created an interesting character development without creating a situation where your character needs to act way too slow for it to happen. And we would still be angry at Thordan, would still feel bad for it since we could make this our fault. And we would finally have a character that has a lasting wound that hinders him. Not like Raubahn or Ysthola who are not really that hindered by it.

But thats probaly in the end all subjective. Its just kinda interesting that his death is probably the only one in my gaming career that I cant get over with because its just so stupid imo. He is also the only character on other forums that has such a big amount of posts with people saying its too soon or that they miss him. You wont see that for other characters that much.
