He was fine as the exarch but even then they couldn’t help but give him immense plot armor. He had an entire expansion to shine. They should’ve just left him dead in 5.3 because as for me, that’s where his character did die. All we’re left with is fanservice. Not the good kind either. I just remember when this game used to be serious and dark back in HW and SB. Where there were actual consequences for the protagonists and peoples lives were actually at stake. Despite ShB being advertised as dark and gritty and facing the strongest opponents we ever have, everyone comes out unscathed and fine. It just seems like the devs can’t write anyone off without the community throwing a tantrum and crying over it. Look at the people still crying over haurchefant after 6 years, it’s ridiculous.
Genuine questions here...do you feel the same about Y'shtola and her many fake deaths? Or Thancred's fake deaths? Did you dislike the humor in ShB considering it "took away from the severity of the situation"?
