The feeling of beeing Home ...

There was definitely a chance to do something more interesting with Zenos, including a potential situation for him to join the party and force the scions to work with him. Despite my general dislike of his character, this would’ve added an interesting dynamic to the party and may have even redeemed him to a limited degree if something of greater substance was actually done with him besides merely being the protagonist’s foil.

Yes Im sure loads of players wouldve loved to have the guy who roofied you and violated your unconscious body in lv83 quest to be a party member, because that makes sense.
"Oh but redemption" no. It was bad enough we didnt get to kill the chick who poisoned us in hw, we dont need to let more wastes of life live. We already let Gaius and Fordola walk around happy as can be, Im sick of letting villains live.

I hate to break it to you but the villains are probably the best part of the story. If you enjoy vanilla stories where everything is happy the entire time that's on you, I personally prefer the opposite and would rather be put on the edge of my seat by a hero almost losing it all (Stranger Things season 4 finale is a great example of this).

So? I don't see how your post relates to the quote. XiRon was simply argueing that Zenos shouldn't be forgiven. Since ShB the writing teams seems to like redemption stories... or rather telling us that the mass murderers aren't that bad. I don't see any claim in his post that the villians should be removed, are less or equal as interesting as the protagonist or anything like that. Please explain.
