A while back I remember watching a playthrough of Plague Tale: Innocence and remember how I felt for some of the "party members" of that game that had been travelling along with us. Actual heroic sacrifices and last stands. Friction between people. Arguments. Tension. These are things anyone should expect of most RPGs. However, the scions aren't providing this to a sufficient degree to where they come across as believable - many have written them off entirely and it has been stated by too many people that they cannot take especially Y'shtola's actions seriously.
