To watch them have sex of course.
You joke but I am legitimately beginning to wonder if this entire game is Savin's NTR fuel, but not in the sex sense, but by being cucked out of your own story.
> You get a call to action that sets you on events and pairs you up with a catgirl to save her sister. Turns out you can't save her sister because that's her story, and she doesn't need you, and will sabotage events important to you to put the spotlight onto her (Atani's marriage).
> You accrue power, but it will never be enough, without breaking the game you will always be weaker than companion characters. Those companions each also end up having more impressive backgrounds or stories than you (saving the three no one cares to write for, Atugia,
Azzryn(FUTURE EDIT, Even Azzy gets more important stuff in turning into a fucking dragon amazon, fuck these devs), Quin). They either come from nobility, are on some incredible journey, or in one case is literally fucking immortal and should be able to do more than play a shitty lute. Hells, Berwyn got done dirty, but his ending has him ascend to godlike power in the Ways Between, some new kind of diety.
> Even when you accomplish things your rewards are soured by the "Important" characters (saving Brint/Brienne). Wayfort, everyone is dismissive of it even when you fix it up. Kiyoko, enjoy being shat on by people for the rest of the playthrough. Complete Gweyr quest, not only does Saunders not bother listening to you at the ending, but it's all Garret and Garth that let her stay, no one even talks about the accomplishment of beating the cult yet again.
In Dawnsword Azzyrn ruins your victory if you don't let her latest crush take the sword at the end, regardless of how useless she has been.
LIES AND SLANDER, I have save edited to go back through and if you don't let Liaden get the sword then Azzy just shuts up and has no more to say instead. My bad.
> Saving Brint/Brienne, the only character of importance who seems to care about the Champion is the "Bad Guy". And Kas in canonically a high functioning sociopath, but she's just so deep into her roleplay of wanting to be a good loving mother that she won't break character. Her goal is to rip out your soul in an untested ritual in the hope she can use some of it to have a baby without killing you. This whole adventure, having removed Cait, is just to fatten up your soul a little more. Your adventure, is the equivalent of a goose being force-fed grain, ready to be slaughtered for patte.
That or... you know... they're shitty writers with their heads up their arses and no plan for content meandering back and forth between their own personal fap material while drinking in those patreon bucks.
