Emet-Selch Is Not That Tragic

[ValyrianBlood]

You can't feel sorry for someone just because they say "I've been through shit", you have to let the players *experience* what it's like to be in his own shoes.

You can't? That's sad. I don't need to experience the demise of my whole family (as example for 'being though shit') myself to feel sorry and emphasize with someone who lost theirs.

His motives are evil

Well his motivation is to bring his whole perished race back to life, I wouldn't exactly call this evil? But the means to do it certainly are.

All in all I do find Emet to be a tragic figure (maybe not in a classical sense) but still. I can understand his motives, I feel for him but ultimately he had to be defeated...



Possible Dragone Age: Inquisition spoilers
Oh boooy, I cant wait for Dragon Age 4, I think many tears will be shed... Emet is nothing like Solas but in the end it's the same story and I feel for both of them

It's things like that that go a long a way to creating an absolutely fantastic villain, which Emet hits on all cylinders. It also doesn't hurt that he is extremely charismatic, and those of us who love eccentricity in a villain will definitely be lured in. But it is understandable that he won't resonate with everyone.

Yep, that's pretty much it, u summarized perfectly why I just love love love him
