Something that has clicked about the patch MSQ as a whole....

It's called "A Requiem for Heroes", and nobody died.

I think that title, as much as anything, is what built up an expectation that it was going to 'end badly' - waiting to see who we'd be mourning, because there was clearly going to be someone dying.

"Clearly", except they didn't.

In fact we've got the lowest (known-character) body count out of any finale so far.


I wonder if the final product drifted a long way from what was originally planned for this segment of the story, but they didn't think to change the title. Maybe it was going to end with us in a more dire situatuion - but then they thought "wait, we can't leave the player like this for the next three months..."
