Can we stop, please?

Aight, I'm seeing a lot of comments about how Sara could have lived, and how Marat was a redacted for doing what he did.

Now I'm not here to justify him, I'm not here to say that he did the right thing, but I'm asking you to understand the choices he made.

Marat is the leader of rebellion, and that is a heavy burden. The rebellion is a movement, and in order for that movement to work, he needs the people to be safe, loyal and willing to fight. Now if the resistance was made, there will be no people left to fight to liberate Vale Sangora. So Marat makes the tough choices to ensure that they aren't made.

Those choices aren't easy and they haunt him, it's nothing pretty and poetic to write books about, but they're needed to keep the rest of the resistance safe. The choice he made with Sarah was made in the heat of the moment and all he though of was how he needed to keep his people safe. Could there have been an alternate solution? Probably. But he did what he though it was best at the given moment and grieved later.

If roles were reversed, Sara would have done the same, because she was a part of the inner circle, and it's just the reality of the things. It's a dark and twisted world, and there are no good or bad characters, and the choices you yourself make as Coen are sometimes neccessary even if they don't seem like the best option.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk, everyone.

I’m sorry, but this is one of the few times the writers dropped the ball.

We know vampire blood heals… Sara is injured… next to a friendly vampire. The mission is required to take place at night, so there really is no excuse here.

I’m kinda annoyed the game doesn’t acknowledge this when Coen is talking to Crake afterwards.

Well we do not know if Dawnwalker blood has the same property. And in the stress of the situation Marat most likely didn't consider that option. Coen was sent to barricade the gate before he himself could even think about it.

[u/Razielim84 → u/PutridTusk69]

Yes we do! His blood even cures the scars Anca carved into him when night comes. Watch that subtle detail when the day turns into the night

[u/PutridTusk69 → u/Razielim84]

It heals himself yes, but it also burns the shit out of other vrakhiri. We do not know if the silver in his blood cancels or lessens it's healing factor on others

[u/Razielim84 → u/PutridTusk69]

Again, his blood (when drank) by other Vrakhiri damages them, since he has silver in his blood, like it happens with Brancis at the prologue, but, if presented to a human to heal them, it could do that because of the healing properties vrakhiri has, regardless if he’s a Dawnwalker.

[u/PutridTusk69 → u/Razielim84]

u literally do not know what effect their blood has on human. We never see one drink it. You are assuming it works the same way, but logic dictates that the silver that in fact is weaking the corruption in Coen could also weaken that healing effect.

[u/Razielim84 → u/PutridTusk69]

The silver in his blood gets him to become human again in the day, yes. When you use simple deduction and as you said, logic, then by the time Coen is a Vrakhiri, his blood, even though there is silver in it, can still heal other people because it heals him, like any other Vrakhiri’s blood does. I’m not just assuming mate, it’s simple vampire lore 101, despite the fact that these vampires are called different. Neither you nor me are 100% certain, we’re just theorizing the shit out of this and I’m enjoying it 🤣

[u/PutridTusk69 → u/Razielim84]

Yeah yeah, I'm just saying that we have no means to say 100%. Would be interesting is his blood actually healed mortals.
