And yes, I see nothing wrong about Thancred only caring for his wishes considering how much he cared about his Minfilia. Seems pretty normal.


Minfilia was an actual character, she just recieved so much hate and they handled her so badly that they decided to get rid of her by first making her a Hydaelyn vessel with no sensible reason and then killing her for good. They ruined it themselves and then took the easy way. I just wanted another chance for her cause I liked this character and I felt its so unfair to have such a cruel fate. And chance for her rebirth was actually one of reasons Ive been so hyped about new expansion. Now it just become meh for me.
And I see nothing wrong with Ryne wanting to live - seems pretty normal to me too?

I'm also legit curious in regards to what you liked about her character? What was there to like about her - except her looks, maybe?
To me shes never been more than some 1.0-leftover that didnt serve a real prupose within the story. I went about this in length a few weeks ago, but the short version is: She did nothing special, she did nothing at all, actually - except getting herself kidnapped twice and making us come to her rescue. All she does can be handled by Tataru (calling us on a linkpearl etc.) and having her disappear didnt influence the story at all. There is nothing she did that made her special, yet we were made to believe that somehow she was this very important and special person.
Making her Hydaelyns vessel is actually the first time that claim was fullfilled. Could it have been fullfilled another way? Certainly. But that would have required her to be more than this pretty blonde in pink leatherclothes and become an active part of the story, not just your next questgiver if no one else showed up naturally.
But that would have required a change in her character long ago and would have lead to someone who might have still shared her looks but not the little "personality" she had - because that would have to been overwritten with an actual character. Just how it happend with Ryne.
