I finished Dawntrail last night, & I know it hasn't been out long, so I wanted to get these thoughts out now. Spoilers under the cut.

The entire time that I was playing through Alexandria, I was thinking about Myste, our darling little boy that wanted to help people. I was thinking about how similar the situation with Myste & Sphene were, of course what Sphene is doing is on a much MUCH larger scale, but still. Both of them wanted a world where people don't have to suffer loss, or pain, or grief, they love people so much. They also both use memories to bring the dead back, though Sphene does so by holding the person's memories of life, while Myste uses the memories of their loved ones.

I personally couldn't get my character to become emotionally attached to most of the endless, not completely. He wanted to help them let go, to finally sleep & rest, but he did not grieve for them, he did not feel guilty about their erasure. Because he's done this, maybe not with his own hands, but a part of him has done this process before, he knows how this goes, that it isn't more than a dream, unrealistic. He snapped at Sphene in one scene due to this headspace, as I imagine he's upset she didn't realize how pointless this endeavor is like he had. Though, then maybe she didn't have anyone left close to her to stop her anymore, how lonely she must have been, trying to protect everyone.
