Yes they should do something more with Vaylin

Let me edit! She also said things were going well until Vaylin attacked, I'd assumed there was some time. But, yeah, that doesn't mean five years worth of time, it's quite possible. I'm still suspicious of these things, though. At least they aren't common. Temple both got a whole chapter of story to be at least a little relevant in AND never bashed the Empress. I'd like more of that.

I won't lie, I did think they threw Vaylin into those dialogs to take some of the 'heat' away from Arcann.

Temples return was pretty good, even if the flashpoint was a bit dull.

Statue of Vaylin will be great.

No, they shouldn't have been tied to one another. But, really, Senya's death, regardless of what I said up above about her, was the only one that I found remotely tolerable. She betrays us, whether I find her reasons sympathetic or not, and she dies of injuries received in combat. Like Vaylin, she effectively dies fighting. Unlike Vaylin, we can actually give her some kindness (though, as someone said, her asking to speak to the creep who destroyed her children while she watched is a bit much, but if I ignore that, the rest isn't bad). And we also don't have to give her kindness if we don't want to.

But, getting her medical aid and throwing her in jail would have been good, too, but I'm reasonably OK with most of how it played out.

Arcann, on the other hand, dies on his knees because we choose to summarily execute him rather than take him in. DS or neutralish? Fine. LS? With no legal authority that I can see? Ugh. If he has to die there, to the goody-two-shoes Outlander, it should be because he refused to be taken in and got up one last time. Still, at least that version gave Dad lip rather than the kind of horrid, "Go, be with my brother" (I really wanted Vaylin to say, "You're forgiving HIM?!").

Given all the damage Arcann has done to both the player's character and the galaxy - I will admit that I don't mind the way his death scene plays out. Someone in another thread said they killed him *because* they were LS and wanted to eliminate his threat to protect the galaxy, and I like that take on it a lot.

With Senya, I have no wish to be kind to her because she was so rude and abrasive and betrayed the Outlander and the Alliance, but I do like the choice that lets you say. "you threw your entire life away for Arcann. Why?" It's a way for the Outlander to say they really don't understand why things turned out the way they did and why Senya made those choices, and that was good. I'm fine with how Senya dies, yes.

I would have preferred a npn execution method for Arcann on the other playthrough, Valky is clearly baiting you into killing him before you get the murder options.
