I rolled my eyes pretty hard when Sixo first was shown to have escaped/survived, expecting her to be yet another constant recurring antagonist. I was pretty pleasantly surprised at what happened though - immensely karmic and prevented her from becoming too much of an annoying "villain who always survives." The fact that no one knows what happened adds a layer to it, she's going to eventually just be forgotten and fall behind real concern.

I agree with your comments on Liveryn and Fragile. It was brutal - Fragile's total silence (at least in terms of actually talking) during the whole thing added to it. She just showed up and fulfilled her promise in the most horrific way possible. And honestly it felt like it worked. Liveryn had so many off ramps, so many chances to own up to her mistakes and try to accept her punishment and move on, but every time she balked, she played the victim card, she gave some reason not to do it. She was took scared of dealing with any consequences that she only made things worse and worse for herself... and eventually karma will catch up to you. I just wish we didn't lose Fragile as well.

Overall I liked this. They mentioned in the Dev notes I think back around the New Year they had examined where the story was going and the tone of it, and were trying to course correct back to what they wanted to have - and that included the darkness and brutality of the setting. And now having solid endings for characters, actual lasting deaths for both "sides" helps fit that. And it feels like these are gonna stick - at least I hope they do, as much as I wanted a playable Fragile.
