That reminds me, does anyone else think it's a bit strange that Quill's death is a lot less gory than Alfira and nobody seems to have a reaction in the morning past that initial "WTF did you do?" conversation?
This is the big issue for me. I'm doing my first Durge run and I did them both side by side. I'm fine with Quil having less meat/plot relevance than Alfira, she's a failsafe. The lack of gore on her kill is. Ehhhh. I can live with it, but it's definitely lacking the perverse brutality that the game's trying to shock you with, the reality of the Dark Urge now revealed. Perhaps they felt they could get away with it because Quil was intended only to exist for a character who had already killed Alfira (workarounds notwithstanding), and they figured you were already going evil Durge at this point?
But Quil completely skips the round of companion conversations the next morning, and that loses
so much. It seems like a huge oversight, because all of the dialogue works perfectly fine if you replace 'Alfira' with 'the bard', and getting "What's on your mind?" instead of "State your business. From a safe distance." is really missing something. The mood is predominantly ambivalent that you're murdering people in your sleep, and that should
probably not be contingent on which bard you are murdering but that you are murdering bards at all. I thought my game was bugged at first.
