More than one person noted that the solo challenge in 5.3 is similar to the level 60 dark knight quest line. For me, this topic can be raised at least in every patch of each of the extensions - because the game still has not given an answer. No conclusions are drawn. We still solve everything exclusively by force. Why did Midgardsomr suddenly believe in us and in humanity? Because we are strong and by fighting we have restored Hydaelyn’s blessing. However, how, I would like to ask, does this answer the claims that he made against the "sons of man"? We didn’t say a thing to Tiamat’s story, which Midgardsomr wanted us to know. Why did Hraeswelgr agree to help us? Because we defeated him in his trial. But how does this respond to his claims and doubts in mortals?

Returning directly to patch 5.3, if we were given to convince Elidibus, it would not be a “victory of a fist”, once again, but an ideological victory. It would serve as an answer to both him and Myste, and would give an answer to the question of why the protagonist is the hero whom anyone can and should be equal to. Why exactly he is morally higher and better than his opponents are. As a game goes by till this day – the answer is no. Moreover, it turns out that our enemy, the Ascian, was able to reach out to us, to show himself and his people as people, to accept us - as the game claims and, which undoubtedly attracts so many to Emet-Selch. All this is his and only his merit and achievement. And when we were required to do the same, we did not do it. As a result, the line and death of Emet-Selch himself is also perceived by me as something that was lost in vain, gone “into the void”. If we succeeded, all of this would fit in its places, like the price paid for the built bridge, for the second chance received by both parties. But no...
