I disagree. I think tragic stories have their well earned place in video games. It's just that they have no place here, in a freaking D&D game about magic and shit and being able to kill powerful demons solo in 1 turn (6 seconds). It was never advertised as a game about doom and gloom, it was advertised as goofy adventure about romancing a bear and flirting with anything that moves, talking to funny animals and committing a horrible atrocity or two if you so incline. But not boring sobby mess about incurable conditions.
