I was wondering if we could talk to Gwyn about her mother Gwyer to help to fix their relationship.

Don't. Just don't. I did that once and she freaked out, badly.

It's going nowhere, as that story is already considered concluded by the authors, I believe.

The champ is someone thrust into the role of hero, while they may be able to help others, familial matters are a whole different demon.

I guessed it does take time for Gwyn to get used to her mother company. It’s a start, but we’re not there

Successfully weaning Gwynn off of Daddy Garth and suppressing her outrageous Electra Complex would be the most realistic way the Champ can help in resolving that whole mess.

Even then, for all of her kind and soft nature, Gwyn can still choose to never forgive her mom for deciding to abandon them all, no matter what reasons she had.

To be honest Gywn is absolutely ridiculous.. my champs always shag her if I play Herm but anything after that, gives me the creeps.. she has an unhealthy obsession with her father and either he encouraged it or the poor guy has no clue what to do. Her mother did what she had to do, not only to protect her family and to hunt down the asshole that helped tear her from her family.. at the end of the day Gywn needs to grow the fuck up and accept her mother will be the only canine in that family to warm dear daddy's bed.

I doubt Garth is even fully aware of Gwyn's Electra complex, let alone how bad it really is. We all know the main reason she doesn't like her mom is because she's jealous. Gwyn would probably hate anyone who got that close to Garth. There's no way Gwyn can get over it unless she has years of therapy, or gets a Garth look-a-like to marry her. And didn't Garth have to shut down a rumor that Garrett was the dad of her intro babies? If I'm remembering right, then I wonder what she's done to make anybody assume that? Because I doubt anyone would risk pissing off Garth or Garrett by speculating and we've seen some of her behavior.

Her mother did what she had to do,

Gweyr did nothing wrong. Except maybe child abandonment, but everyone's doing it. It's Hawkethorne's most popular parenting method.

IMO the only "right" thing to do would have been to have stopped Tollus before it got that bad in the first place. I called Gweyr a monster, but for what it's worth her enemies are infinitely more so if you ask me.

There wasn't many to to stop him and most likely other factors that we don't know about.

So what if the brainwashing stayed after stopping him they weren't the same person she did what had to be done, people die, you call her a monster but she did as she was trained she dosen't knock people down like the Champion does.

I view it differently, I think a few other people to tho I'm not sure. He's the one that said you gotta go etc I know it was for her well-being but still.
I talking about Hawkthorne’s most popular parenting strategy. And how Sander’s had no control over how his own turned out

Sanders is definitely is the wrong. What right did he have to decide her fate so cruelly? What, because she did everyone a favour and got rid of a bunch of fucked up brats and stopped an innocent from being sacrificed.. she didn't abandon her children by choice.

It was a shit situation all around. Somehow I get the feeling that if Gweyr managed to stay, someone would've tried to shank her with her back turned.
Also, I get the feeling that if the cultist brats were the ones "put on trial", that they would not end up walking the ice.

So on the renewed Gweyr debate, I'm just gonna quote myself from an older post instead of typing essentially the same thing out. Slightly edited because my views on Sanders's actions have worsened over time

I'm gonna throw my 2 cents in and say that exiling Gweyr was not the best option or the right call, though she probably would've left anyway to pursue Tollus and Sanders just gave her no choice. Yes she slaughtered the youth of the village and treated them like grist to be milled, but they were trying to sacrifice an innocent. Gweyr's actions, while monstrous, were the best course of action. She gave them plenty of chances and warnings to stand down. By exiling her, Sanders sent a message that you can step all over Hawkethorne and they'll punish their defenders. Them being stupid kids doesn't recontextualize or excuse their actions at all. And by exiling Gweyr and keeping the whole thing in the closet next to that oddly placed skeleton, He set Tollus up to be able to come back in later and no one knew who he was or what he was doing. It's just speculation, but I feel if Gweyr were still in the village then Tollus might not have been able to sacrifice Calla right down the road. And even then, Gweyr was the best protection Hawkethorne had until now. Sanders made a terrible call and the events of the game could have potentially been avoided, though we'll never know for sure. And if the parents of the cultists she killed really wanted revenge, then they would've done so regardless of exile. If anything, her being kicked out would've emboldened them since they know she wouldn't be there to protect her family and that she wouldn't find out for a while and give them time to flee. In short, while violent, Gweyr made the best call and Sanders let his emotions and panic cause him to make a really bad call. Those cultists were not innocent children of Hawkethorne. They made the call to kidnap an innocent girl, prepare to sacrifice her, ignore warnings from the experienced mercenary who just cut a bloody swath to their main barricade, and do their best to ensure that girls demise. Gweyr was right and did nothing wrong. Sanders was wrong and did things wrong.

Gwyer probably isn't a great parent. But I don't think anyone in Hawkethorne is really.

I mean my main character still see's her as a monster, but understood keeping the family apart would have been the worst possible outcome.

I don't even know if this relationship ever can be fixed tbh. Gwyn takes care of children for a living. Her mother got exiled for murdering kids. Those two things don't really mix, lol

Plus the whole parental abandonment thing

She never really got her chance to be a parent, she didn't get to see them grow and missed out on a lot of moments.

That's what I was saying earlier.

It builds character. I'm sure Gwyn turned out fine.

Same. There's just way too many issues with both women. There's not enough time to fix the problems their relationship has.

Given a few more years and Gweyr's famed persistence, who knows? They're already living under the same roof and having short, non-shouting interactions with each other, it seems like they're making good progress.

Personally I reckon they need to fight it out. Give Gwyn the opportunity to try and smack the old woman around a bit and see if that helps at all.

Don't think that's the best idea. This family seems to have a thing for solving problems with violence and that hasn't really gone so well.

I don't know about there was that one time that Gweyr chased Tullus all the way around the Marches and up into the Rift, and that worked out fine.

And the cult's continued messing with the portal was what kept it from asploding and obliterating HT. So Sanders sending Gweyr away worked out fine because she wasn't around to stop them from resetting the timer on the death bomb.
