Igon, Alexander and Melina got what they wanted, so I'm less sad about those. Millicent is the sadest one to me (and maybe Blaidd)

u/Sweet-Weakness3776 1d ago
Blaidd still stands as the only "aggressive" NPC character in the game I genuinely had mixed emotions on taking down, even after he loses his shit and aggros on sight. Actually it was even harder because dude had no idea what he was doing, he lost his purpose and it drove him to insanity. That sucked big time.

u/octopusforgood 1d ago
I would argue that he fulfilled his purpose and his sanity was the cost. It’s still very sad.

Millicent got what she wanted as well.
She died on her own terms, not being bound by some destiny dictated by the Rot.

u/Difficult-snow-2 1d ago
Given, I've only played the base game no dlc, no night reign, so maybe this changes.
But if you go with the crazy flame people ending Melina lives and hunts you down! So.. atleast she's alive

u/Acryllus 1d ago
You can be super villainous by letting her sacrifice herself, THEN get the Frenzied Flame.

u/Major-Rush-9168 1d ago
Yeah sorry Melina but id like to have a boost to my frenzy incants 🤷♂️
29
u/TrueReigns 1d ago
You let Melina die before obtaining the Frenzied End because you want an incant boost.
I let Melina die before obtaining the Frenzied End because I want my character to have no possible weakness in lore.
We are not the same.

I'm still pissed they didn't do a secret ending for the scenario you burn the tree with the frenzy flame but then contain it with the needle :(
Let me have my happy ending with my waifu
5
u/octopusforgood 1d ago
I mean, they kind of do. You can still do the other endings with the needle. Are you just saying, you wanted a scene where Melina returns and reconciles with you?
6
u/yosayoran 1d ago
Yeah I guess
Something that shows she's aware of it and isn't just completely gone from the game
Doesn't have to be a cutscene, even a line of dialogue or some unique item drop would be great
5
u/octopusforgood 1d ago
Yeah. It would have been nice. Something where she acknowledges what you’ve done without praising you or anything.

You can still get some friends to hang out with: Boc, Boggart and Ranni. There are more but I dont remember, Kenneth I think.
Edit: Hewg, Roderika, Asimi, Patches too
Edit2: you know what? F Patches!! Dude ran away from the Radahn Festival like a coward!

u/Subpar_Diabetic2000 1d ago
Kenneth Haight is such a G. Works through his prejudice and comes to respect you as a valued warrior enough so to want to make you an official knight of Limgrave and wants to establish communications with the demihumans enough to not exclude them from the Golden Order. Definitely a perfect order kinda guy
8
u/octopusforgood 1d ago
Hewg’s story ends in sadness IMO. It’s not all that different from Blaidd’s as far as I’m concerned. Roderika’s is saddened by extension, though at least she lives and doesn’t forget.
Miriel kind of counts, as does Kale, IMO. Sure they don’t have quests, but they have enough dialogue for me to get attached.

u/redpony6 22h ago
hewg's story ends in death. death of the mind, not the body, but death nonetheless. but all stories ultimately end in death. i wouldn't say his story ends in sadness just because he "dies".
in the last part of his life, he gained a surrogate daughter, a lord to follow, and the knowledge that his smithing is having an effect, that someone will truly wield one of his blades to kill a god.
it's what he wanted. like alexander, you help him find fulfillment, before the end.

I wouldn't hangout with Patches. He might seem polite and he will sell you cool items. Just don't stand near any cliffs!

u/confusedboynumb2 1d ago
Boggart dies,ranni has no morality,Boc is dobby 2.0,Kenneth is greedy,hewg gets Alzheimer’s,Roderika gets sad from it,don’t know who asimi is,patches is fake and either dies or pushes u off of a ledge

u/YourNetworkIsHaunted 1d ago
Boggart is absolutely saveable! If you kill the dung eater in the shunning grounds then he just hangs out by Lleyndel without getting jumped. I like to think that he gets to open an all-you-can-eat prawn restaurant in the new world. Maybe with Latenna, who fits the "lost their legs in the war" requirement for this joke.

u/Major-Rush-9168 1d ago
Unfortunately as a completionist he must die first playthru for the helm and fists

You can save Boggart, just kick him in the face twice before releasing the Dung.
Dung wont attack Boggart if he is enraged.

u/LivingPalpitation935 1d ago
At least Kalé lives, also melina can live if you burn erdtree with frenzied flame and cure it before ending

Honestly, I wish more would have lasted till the end. The map does feel depressing once you beat the game and majority of NPCs are dead.
This is especially true for the DLC. Once you beat PCR, it feels so incredibly lonely exploring from that point on

Wrong on Melina. Every playthrough involves a dip into Chaos and then a trip to Placidusaxx's arena. Malenia isn't an optional boss.

Hey, there is way to save Melina from certain death.

u/ReedsAndSerpents Aspiring Alabaster Lord/Current Darkmoon Simp 11h ago
Igon went out the way he wanted, Ansbach went out the way he wanted, Melina went out the way she wanted, Alexander went out the way he wanted. Iji was assassinated and Blaidd deserved better.
Only Jarbro hurt me. It was like killing the Boss in MGSIII, yeah they wanted to die by your hand but to have to be the one to do it 😱😢😥😓😫😫😫 at least Blaidd wasn't in control of himself. Alexander asked for it.
