You can refuse to agree all you want. It’s something even the devs have agreed on, that the sundering and its inhabitants are abnormal. They’re fractured beings with degraded souls. Nothing more.“Unnatural” is so incredibly loaded, I will never agree with such a description of human life.
And what right do the Ancients have to decide what lives are worth living? That’s not a decision for anyone to make for anyone else. Not to mention Emets own words on the topic, where he doesn’t even recognize the humanity and personhood of the sundered. I’m supposed to believe they’re doing that out of the kindness of their own hearts?
Hell, even by their own definition of personhood they were more than happy to sacrifice untold innocent people to bring back their friends. Yet these are the ones to be trusted to with the power of gods?
He tried to DESTROY her sense of self to allow her other memories dominance. He didn’t offer her choice like the WoL or Ryne did. At no point in the story did we ever dissuade her from making her own decisions. Mitron did. There’s no both sidesing it. He forcibly merged with her, had her attempt to destroy her memories of Ryne, and then fought to death to make sure he could have her. Gaia’s not the Ascian her soul was. She’s her own person with thoughts, feelings and ideas. No one but Mitron denied her that.
She LITERALLY cheers you on as you fight to free her!
And the game also takes effort to show that the sundered have and will surpass the unsundered in various ways, because like living beings we are flawed and virtuous in our own ways.
