Amaurotine relationships, any word?

This is also ultimately expounded on details from the Eden storyline in Shadowbringers, which really confirms that... well, it's that Emet-Selch was the weirdo. It's not that the Ancients think relationships are gross, it's that he does.

I don't recall any sign that he dislikes relationships, other than his general grumpy attitude, but when he tells us about how wonderful the ancient world was he touches on having friends and loved ones.

His apparent disgust at it when he talks about living with mortals seems to be entirely about his disgust for mortals in general, and how (to his perception) all his attempts to connect with them are found wanting.

I'm going to second this.
