What about that hm?
    We could lose any of the scions and I wouldn't bat an eye. Y'shtola, Graha or Alphinaud meeting their maker would actually be cause for celebration for me.

    But some of the villains we lost actually made me ugly cry

    I don't mind Alisaie and Y'shtola that much in SHB, because they at least understood Emet-Selch's points, but I can't say I would bat an eye lid either if any of the Scions were to go. I find Thancred to be the only one I find likeable on any level, but even then. I also echo the second point - didn't quite cry but the storylines and personalities of some of the antagonists resonated with/intrigued me far more.

    I'm weird, I like Urianger. Thancred is maybe #2 on my list. idk how many times I have wanted to slap Y'shtola tho, kick Alphinaud and give Graha a nice new set of concrete shoes.

    Emet and Yotsuyu hurt tho, as did a couple others, just not the same extent.

    Ah, Urianger. Yes, he's not too bad, either. He at least is fairly centered on the more serious aspects of the plot. I also forgot that Estinien is now a Scion, and he's again someone I find tolerable/more likeable, mainly due to his grittier demeanour. As always, though, I'm keen for them to not allow emotional connections to get in the way of deaths when they fit the story.
