I can't be the only one who dislike this quest. It's a celebration, it should be jovial. There are many way to involve that tingling heart warming feeling without the unnecessary drama. This quest could have been about the WOL making a orphan day by becoming her knight for a day. We have Zhloe who runs an orphanage and M'naago running something similar. But noooo, it has to be about a child getting ... you know what the game implied. I'm not saying a story like this should not exist, but time and place for everything. This quest story can have it splace as a side quest somewhere else, it's only put here for the sake of drama with the intention of a shock treatment for maximum effect. Given the players' reaction it probably is considered a success, but for me it's just the case of lacking true creative writing using excessive drama as a clutch. Good writing can still give people powerful feeling without the drama, but I think very often times these days the writers just go with the "hum, we want a powerful feeling here ... oh I know, let's just show a child getting killed here, easy!".
