I want to say i truly enjoyed EW story and think it's best so far. But one thing is a bit bothering me.

When we finally meet Hydaelyn we have 5 min conversation and it goes pretty much fight me if you want to be prepared to face Meteion. But i struggle to understand what we gained from fighting her to death. I feel like it was forced, unnecessary and for emotional impact rather then good reason.

It was like here is that mother figure that guided you and helped in your darkest time now kill her if you want to face world consuming depression.

But then again i might have missed something in conversations that said why i have to fight her?
