NPCs with plot armor, does it bother you?

I initially was wary of Aymeric, thinking he had some pseudo-villain flags about him (at least in ARR), but I was definitely pleasantly surprised.

Me too. It was very hard to work out, at the beginning, whether he was genuine or a scheming politician. It took a while before I was certain he was a character we should trust rather than cautiously go along with.
