Not flawless corner <| sep |> Characters can behave illogically emotionally and it does not make them a bad character . You are meant to be frustrated at Braham . Clearly the developers were succesful but clearly that is a feeling that the player base is not willing to tolerate . The players think Braham should deal with grief the Norn way ? Well what if Braham is being a dick ? Can Norn characters just not be dicks ? When people make these posts they are clearly in reaction to Braham . Then , they like to then nitpick the rest of the lore . It turns out you can ' t actually tell a perfect story that makes everything fit together perfectly . There are going to be plot conveniences , all stories have them . If you read Jane Eyre , you have to wonder why Rochester didn ' t tell Jane everything sooner so that they could have gotten married before she ' s ran away . But then there wouldn ' t have been a story . The same is true for a lot of your inconsistencies . Sometimes stories thrive on frustrating the player . Of course the devs know we didn ' t lead the air assault on Mrodremoth . Of course the devs know we didn ' t kill Snaff . Of course the devs know that Destiny ' s edge is no more . It ' s not an inconsistency it ' s just Braham being stupid . As for why we couldn ' t just beat some sense into Braham there ? Well then there just wouldn ' t have been a story . Hamlet is known for being one of the best stories told in play format . Yet it relies on a huge and blatant feud ex machine in the penultimate act . Does that make it a bad story because of its convenience ? No .
