Thread: 8.0 speculation

Genuinely, I feel like Titus suddenly becoming a presence now would feel worse than him never coming up at all. It'd feel like a cop-out; why did he never turn up or get mentioned in the big story about the Garlean succession crisis that he would reasonably be the very first answer to, when he could've just walked into the story at any time and gone 'what's up, I'm voiced by a slightly famous British actor'? If that happened, I would feel a little ripped off.

That would not feel like a positive turn for the character (why the hell did you just sit out your entire empire crumbling and your son dying without doing anything), or an intentional or interesting turn for the story ('oops, we forgot about Titus, let's let him magically be relevant... here, sure'). No, I think the best you could reasonably expect is that he's unceremoniously dead somewhere, and you might find out some other time while doing something else.

I could see a note in Clyteum mentioning that Titus chickened out and died in some bunker, but I wouldn't expect--or want--him to physically turn up.
