No one wants our character to suddenly develop a whole new personality in cutscenes, we just want our character to act like the character who's actually championed these causes, not some hapless bystander.

But it does matter who reacts first, or in this case, who reacts at all. It's all indicative of our character. And that's the thing, we are experienced in combat, FAR more than Y'shtola and Thancred. But heck, for arguments sake, even if we werent stronger than them, any warrior with experience in combat would have at least reacted after arrows fell. But we didn't, literally almost everyone in the scene responded before us. The paladin, The Black Mage, the Derplander, Y'shtola, and Thancred. You would think, the vaunted warrior of light, savior of the realm could have done something? Heck, anything? And that doesn't ring odd with you?

Yes, we fought the primals alone. It's confirmed in the story numerous times. From our character standing alone in the aftermath of each fight, to which the Ascians always credit us solely with it's defeat and no mention of a team, to the scene after we face the derplander where Alph expresses his surprise that there is anyone else besides us capable of culling a primal, and if there was we would have known about it.
