All these people bashing the ancients for sacrificing etc. I’m really curious then on how you all feel with Venat’s backup plan being to sacrifice all of the other shards and only have the people on the source survive. So much for all of her “children” hm? Or how about we talk about ironworks, instead of moving forward, decided to mess with time and jeopardize billions of people just to being 1 person back to life. So much for the sundered moving forward and not being tied to the past. Oh but i’m sure this is just one of many examples of it being perfectly okay when the protagonists do it, but when the antagonists do it it’s wrong.

As far as Venat telling people goes, we at the very least know she didn’t even tell the truth to her own people who were going to sacrifice themselves for Hydaelyn. As per the anamnesis cutscene, it seems they didn’t even know she was going to die or that they would be sacrificed. But also, i’m not sure why people are acting like she was some horrible person the ancients hated and would never believe? She’s an ex-convocation member. She’s friends with one of the most popular ones. She used to be Azem. There are many many ways she could’ve gone about telling them. About the whole “well she talked them later on” yes, she talked them after the fact, after the planet was dying, and they had lost their loved ones. The fact is she could’ve prevented all of that completely. Instead she lost hope for her own people, and placed it in a single person. Of whom by the way, is part of a group of people(sundered) who give into despair just as easy if not even easier than the ancients did. So i’m not sure why that’s even an argument. We have both garlemald and thavnair for that. Just because our plot armor scions don’t give into it doesn’t change the fact 90% of the sundered would give into despair just as easily.
