    Up until 4.0, I would say yes. They were killing characters left and right for very little reason beside a short-burst impact with very actual narrative or story reason. Haurchefant's death formula was so typical and his death scene was so bad that's my reaction during his scene was just "really? that's just stupid". I bet the story writer looked at Moraeby's death and was like "ohhh look like people like it, so let's do it again!"

    IMO from 4.0 onward the writing has become a lot more "mature", ironically because they stop using these death as fake inflation for a character's worth, instead actually write something substantial to make me care about them.

    Well, except for the obligatory Y'shtola death fakeouts.

    That's just her legacy, I suppose.
