The bank thing I thought was wierd. So at the bank, Halsin makes a comment about the money hoarding, and how its selfish and can be used to help people blah blah blah. Shart says in response dont bears also horde and gorge themselves? Halsin responds with something about only until the frost has thawed, implying bears dont spend the entire freaking year gorging amd hunting, foraging and scavenging anything they can when they can. Bears dont share with other animals. Animals arent kind and help eachother. It shows a complete disconnect from what nature really is. It made me cringe really hard, espescially given that there was a whole group of volunteers in Wyrms Crossing collecting donations to help the refugees, which is something that would NEVER happen in nature.

I dont want to change his view really. I thought it was something my ranger Tav could connect with him on. "I see the same suffering you do Halsin, but I disagree that it is a rot in the city. Nature can be just as cruel, just as heartless. There are many parallels between civilization and the wilds, and people and animals are more alike than we think. Everyone is just trying to survive in their own ways. But...I do think I prefer the beauty and serenity of the wilds."

He decides he wants to help those suffering in the city, and takes them to reestablish a colony in Reithwin, giving them a chance to rebuild and live better lives. Tav, his lover, goes with him and helps him in this.

I just dont like how holier than thou he gets about city stuff.

The part about the bears and horde and gorge is really cringe, not gonna lie.

As for changing his views, for me it's more about changing some nuances of his view, like I would like to see that it's not the orphans that made him change his way of living, but also the whole journey. I mean, in the end we not only lifted the curse but we also saved the world, so within all of that, there has to be something that he can take with him. If he still doesn't like the city, then it's fine, but as I said, I would like to see more of a nuanced view on civilization and the city instead of the whole black and white opinions. He is wise, he should be capable of reflecting upon all he saw to see the little details.

If you want to answer to any of my posts with just hate, please just don't answer at all.

If you want just to white knight everything and can't accept opinions, please don't even answer me.

Thank you!
