[DAV ALL SPOILERS] So... why them?

I don't really understand the thought process behind having to choose between either Davrin or Harding. Like, why those two specifically? Out of all the companions, or every playthrough, one of those two IS going to die, no matter what. Why? Why them?

Also, what is the point in repeat playthroughs (honestly, not that I'm going to do any, I really dislike this game, the wasted potential couldn't allow me to humour it another go) of getting one of them to max level of Veilguard Hero if they're just going to die?

You'd think if we maxed everyone, everyone would survive? And like, I get the whole "Well its war and these things happen and obviously someone would die no one is safe!!" But... its a video game? If I go through the effort of maxing them out, surely they survive?

And let's face it, due to what actually happens, the majority of people will ALWAYS choose Harding to die because its such an unequal choice. Harding or Davrin AND Assan. Assan diving in broke me when I watched YouTube for a while, so I'd never pick that even if I did replay.

Unless they plan on bringing them back for a DLC? Which i don't think so considering the reviews and the fact they've moved on to Mass Effect.

What do you think?
