Anyone else surprised what happened with Valens Van Varro?

[FrightfulNight]

Part of why I played the new Werlyt story first was wanting to really see Valens get his just deserts, and I was very satisfied with it (especially as an Au Ra player) even if it was not my character who delivered the finishing blow. This was not the WoL's (they do not even meet in any scenes surprisingly) nemesis but Gaius and his orphans and the fact that it was perhaps even more skirting the line and certainly more drawn out and poetic then even Telji Adaledji death made it all the sweeter.

The almost cartoonish "pop!" sound effect was very unexpected.

[DarkMasamune]

Gosh, thank god, I couldn't stand him.

Surprised ? A little bit, it was unexpected, but glad ? Oooh yeah.

[Derio]

I was surprised as well. However I was hoping we would get a role play instance where we got to play as Gaius and fight him. Then in the end show the cutscene.

[VelKallor]

No

And I shed no tears at his passing.

This is actually a huge reason why I love the ending. Yes the WoL was instrumental in getting the story to the point in which Valens got cornered, but the people whose lives were ruined by him got to dish out the retribution themselves, they didn't have someone else do it on their behalf. The WoL wasn't the constant star of the show and I really enjoyed that.

Also it was so satisfying to watch Valens get picked up by Diamond Weapon and get crushed by his own horrible creation. /chef's kiss

I was honestly worried the guy wouldn't get a satisfying end after all the terrible things he had done, so I'm glad they went above and beyond in that regard.

I definitely agree this was an instance where the villain was better off being dealt with by someone other then us.

Agreed with Ran'jit.

I feel he was more Thancred's foil than ours and he should have just died in Ahm Aerang. It's not like he had much to do after anyway. And while they'd have needed a new 'boss' for the Eulmore assault, I feel it would have worked well to have Vauthry panicking and not knowing what to do without Ran'jit there, and also explain why Eulmore's supposedly formidable mlitary was in disarray and unable to mount much of a defense.

Everything about Mister V.V.V. was so over the top, that the nicest thing I could think to say about him was "Well, it was left ambiguous if he actually raped the children, after torturing them and branding them with hot irons."

Being taken out by his victims in some way was almost a given; crushed to death by a giant robo-fist powered by the souls of the dead seemed fitting enough.
