Yeah, I think the fact that Venat just kicked the can down the road is conveniently ignored. I'm loathe to mention it because I don't want to get into a theological debate, but I can't help but notice some parallels with certain Biblical stories where when mankind isn't behaving in a way that God approves of they get wiped out and have to begin anew. The problem is Venat is no god, she was just a person like everyone else who convinced others to give her the ability to elevate herself to 'supreme deity'.

At the end of the day, both Meteion and Venat are responsible for the bulk of the tragedy and death in the game's story so to me, it doesn't make much sense for either of them to be treated so differently when characters with far less blood on their hands were treated with far more disdain.
This, for a protagonist Hydaelyn has more blood on her hands than all of the antagonists combined except for Hermes and, by extension, Meteion. I frequently see people mention the WoL/Scions don't have a problem with it because she benefits them, but for how long? Ever since someone commented that the 8UC is a complete bad end for Venat I couldn't help but wonder if she'd sunder the world again if she had the ability. After all, the sundered were behaving similarly to the unsundered in striving to bring back the past over moving forward.
