the winter wolf quest was AWSOME! But when it came time to get Gweyr to come back to her kids it feels just sad and unfair, too many npc characters focusing on one fact. It feels like they are placing blame in the wrong place to avoid addressing the uncomfortable truth.
for myself, personally, I think Gweyr was in the right. She was maybe too enthusiastic, but she did give them a chance to surrender and from the way it sounded she was going up against 20+ year old's who were willing to sacrifice a young girl for their own gain. Gweyr was by herself fighting people who were willing to kill her, she couldn't afford to show mercy, not if she wanted to 1, stay alive and 2, save the girl.
Also Sanders and the rest didn't even try to help her, had they been in the fray with her maybe it wouldn't have been as despite of a fight and they could have taken them alive.
Bringing her back didn't feel like a home coming like it should, I felt like and attack on the player characters choices.
P.S. gwyns reactions felt extra unreasonable, she had never even met her till now and her crying and breaking down over this, while perhaps in character, came across as childish and entitled.
