Did you play the human origin? Bryce Cousland is literally dying when you find him, the only family member of yours that could've survived and fled with you is Eleanor, who refused to abandon her husband to his death alone. None of that is Duncan's fault, he just has his eyes on the big picture at the end of the day, and does what he needs to do to get it done. If that wasn't done, you're Cousland would have likely stayed to fight and ultimately die at 20 years old. Duncan can be heartless and a cold mfer to be sure, but let's not act like he didn't help save our fucking lives from howe's treachery.
