Practically every blockbuster movie in existence has a script where you know the protagonists will survive and be the victors; that doesn't stop people from loving the story. Heck, it can even help people who get really into a story keep going sometimes.



That music has become one of the most popular pieces in the entire game. Check out the vid on YT where 1,000 people sent in videos that were edited together to make a fan-made version of the song. It wasn't "comical" to most people - it was deep, and made a real impact.


While I personally enjoyed even that beginning part, when a game has several hundred hours of content, I'd have no problem going through a smaller "boring" part at the beginning to then have many times over that amount in amazing gameplay that just keeps getting better...



You answered your own question. All of the Scions at this point are quite popular with the general playerbase. Killing a character off for the sake of killing a character off would serve only to seriously alienate fans of that character. TV history is littered with the remains of shows that went downhill when they lost an important character (either written off, changed actors/actresses, etc.). The number of people who would be "pleased" by the death of a Scion pales completely in comparison to the number of people who would be turned off by it.
Those are okay arguments but all i'm getting from it is "Spectacle over substance". Yes, the average person would rather have flash but is that really the bar that should be set for entertainment as a whole?
*Looks at the money*
Oh yeah, lol.
