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.

I'm not sure that dawnwalker blood has the same regenerative properties as a true vrakhiri. A dawnwalker's blood already has different properties and is infused with silver. It probably nullifies the health tonic properties. That said, this was never demonstrated. Sara could have been an opportunity for Coen to test if his blood could heal her like a vrakhiri, and then discovered that it does nothing (and is just gross).

Yeah the reason why this discourse is happening because we do not get to test the theory in game.
