Oh, I agree that what old Trace did was, as Saria put it, just unforgivable and new Trace needs to fix what he can. But at the same time, Trace cared about only one thing: Saria. Now that she's told him how she feels about all of this? Well, it's a good thing there's a "new" Trace because the old one has lost absolutely everything. He deserved as much, but that's still a sad fate.Rasol wrote: ↑Mon May 30, 2022 5:49 amI don't. Old Trace's madness and despair led him to torture, murder, and even genocide.
The man she loved died with her, and what was left was broken on a fundamental level. This also explains exactly why Saria tried to hide so much from him when they met. What if he remembered? What if he fell to madness again? New Trace might not be the man she loved, but compared to the monster he became when she died? Still an improvement. I can see why she would prefer he remain ignorant of his past.
The amnesia was the best possible outcome for him, but it doesn't wash away his sins either. At the end of the day, Fallen Trace did a lot of damage, and SOMEBODY is going to have to fix it. Given the power of many of his former cohorts, there also aren't a lot of other options that are even qualified to stand up to the corrupt templar at this point.
Not that I'm complaining, I love a good greek-style tragedy.
