    Aside from cutscene incompetence? The story of Alexander takes place within a temporal loop (albeit one most of the players can exit), so Quickthinx can't be defeated / killed until his fated demise after A12 because that would cause a temporal paradox.

    Why did I let him do this? Why did I not just walk up and kill him and his guards right there? They are a clear threat. They are activating a primal that could wipe out the planet if it became mobile.
    Simple cutscene incompetence. We let Gaius fire up his doomsday robot too.

    That's spoilers for where they're up to, but seeing as it's out of the bag... there's nothing that strictly requires his presence in the later part of the story, especially if it's the sort of time loop where the details of what actually happened are flexible until the protagonist personally witnesses them.

    Ouch. Double whammy of writing no no's. Time travel and requiring the protagonist to be an idiot for the plot to work.

    The time travel logic was done quite well, actually.

    I do like a good stable time loop story.
