    An epic death for Estinien would be in a context of battle; Urianger by a plot twist of the ascians; Alisaie by her impulsivity.
    The twins won't die. I bet my account on it.
    They will pick one of the easier targets like Thancred (his development is pretty much resolved) or Estinien (hasn't been around as long and was a jerk for most of his screentime) and avoid those they know would generate the most fan fury (G'raha, Y'shtola)

    Ultimately, though, it doesn't mesh with the game itself. I know a lot of people, myself included, who waited for payoff regarding the situation with Regula van Hydrus. He was never mentioned again after Heavensward despite it being a huge deal that the Emperor's best friend and one of the Legatus in charge of a Garlean Legion was willing to put aside his differences and work with us - albeit temporarily.

    I think Yoshi-P sorely overestimates how many people actually care about the Scions and how many of us invested in this game because we expected the same 'magic' as can be found within the single player titles.
    So I get what you mean and this isn't aimed at you but it makes me want to say this anyway:

    Every time I read people compare this to single player games I wonder how long ago they played one of those, or if they live in SE's AAA projects bubble or only play those "it's an experience" type of games where it's almost just an interactive movie.
    This game doesn't push itself enough to compare to a single player game neither from a storytelling standpoint and SPECIALLY from a gameplay standpoint. There are no stakes in the story and there are even less stakes in the extremely on-rails and hand-holding gameplay portion of said story.

    Sadly, I think you're right about that.

    Honestly, I feel quite the contrary. My time with Alisaie has left me with an overwhelming sense that she is marked. Now, maybe that's a red herring - who knows. But, of all the Scions, I feel like you could kill a twin and life would just go on.

    Plot twist, Y'shtola knows she has plot armor, and she keeps pulling increasingly more dangerous stunts just to see what she can get away with.

    Calling it now, she's gonna reveal she knows how to perform Louisoix's sealing technique and will not only survive using it, but regain usage of her eyes.
