Sundering stuff established in the Q&A

[Lucida3b]

To me with Emet,i actually liked that he stuck to his ideals. In the end the Sundered were living at the expense of the Ancients lives. The Ancients themselves didn’t have a choice, or outside help like the Sundered did. In the end though it just comes down to genocidaelyn making all the wrong decisions and the ancients sadly had to pay for it. In terms of the sacrifice the Ironworks were fine with sacrificing all the people in their timeline to being the WoL back. The ancients were doing no different.

There is also the argument to be made that once again metieon spoiled the results of the plenty via her dynamis manipulation amplifying any issues to the point they made a primal type being to kill them all.

To touch upon some of what has been said, I feel like part of the issue is that it's easy to sympathize with 'do terrible things for the sake of family/loved ones' that Emet is motivated by, vs the 'do terrible things for the sake of a ideal/fiat' that Venat has if that makes sense. On the whole writing elsewhere, I feel like I could agree with the idea of writer bias for the simple reason of the end of elpis cutscene, that scene makes no sense outside of it being metaphorical but then the question becomes, 'Why was it metaphorical' and the only reason I can think of is either budget or to make Venat look better by underselling the horror of what she was doing.



Anyone got the source of a second expansion being cut after Shadowbringers launched? I would like to see that.
