So, Yrlett... [Act 3 spoilers]

[EnemigoDeLaMafia]

i might have missed a few dialog lines so please bear with me. I just want to be sure.

Did she send RT into a trap knowingly?

I first I thought they somehow tricked her. But reading some posts it seems whe deliberately cospired with the drukhari?

It's pretty clear what happened. Events:

1. After attack on Dargonus she wanders off.
2. She encounters the inquisition guy that has been feeding you info about Drukhari attacks
3. She sees he is communicating with Marazhai
3b. It is later revealed that you found the inquisition guy after he'd been tortured by Marazhai, and he had betrayed you to help Marazhai in exchange for never being touched by him again. Marazhai's entire goal with the invasion was to accomplish this.
4. She kills the inquisition guy
5. She takes the communication device. Marazhai tells her that she might find out more about the fate of her craftworld on the space derelict
6. You go there and you both get ambushed by Marazhai and taken

Her betrayal was not immediately disclosing what she found after killing the inquisition guy. If you didn't recruit Yrliet, the inquisition guy would just tell you to go there instead.

The only thing i thought that was weak in this was that you cant tell in any way shape or form if he told Marazhai anything. Cassia doesnt have any dialogue about colors that i recall though i may have read that far far to quickly to notice, and Idira offers nothing either.

She must have the intelligence of sliced bread after looking at the highlights in her dialogue. Here a drukhari tells her basically: come to the lonely well at midnight, tell nobody, and bring a millstone. The idea of a helpful drukhari is like Gollum freely giving up his precious.

And yes, we can always hand her to the inquisition in act 4. Or push her out of the airlock after a good whipping right after she says she is sorry.

you can, i just dont see the point in doing so, i wish that entire ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ scene wouldnt play out if you didnt tell them what happened. Let me just blame it on the dead dude ffs.

All of Ch 3 feels like it was slapped together in a month.

Should have spent Ch 3 tracking down a way to access the webway by exploring the expanse, culminating in invading the spire to stop DE attacks.... kinda like tracking down the Ivory Labyrinth in WotR. Instead we visit a haunted house where the DE are like "cool bro, keep running around and do whatever, we torture people to death on the reg but you're cool"

Really lazy.

Because that is what that place is. Dark Eldar do not fkin care.
They can just pump their numbers with clones made by their flesh masters at any time. And important people never trully die getting a new body every time. Dark Eldar just do not care about lower races that run around.
Commorragh is notably a place where you can find anyone you can imagine, from human pirates and sslyth mercs to some abstract lovecraftion horrors. It is a huge melting pot of races from all over infesting the lower levels of the city. Some live there for many generations never getting outside.

Well sure we could do that. But are the rest of the companions any better?

Argenta-Murdered Theodora and Mort without even asking questions first

Hendrix-Forced you to leave one of his Agents on Dargonas who betrayed you and the planet causing the death of thousands. He also hit my Master of ceremonies with a chainsword. That alone is worth the death penalty.

Cassia-Regularly kills dozens of the crew every time she talks or has a bad dream.

Iridia-Also killed lots of crew due to warp shenannigans

Ulfgar-eats sentients so 'his stomach can analyze them.' Also he was hungry.

Abelard tries to kill decks of crewmen because one might possibly be a cultist.

Jae- Should be executed just for making me deal with the Dargonas DMV. Nevermind all the crap she does on the ship and lying about literally everything.

Pasqal is a good boy. He gets a pass.

Compared to most of my team, Yrliet feels pretty forgivable. At least she was trying to save her people. But it was no secret she'd do anything to save them. That was her entire stated reason for joining. I'm not going to execute someone for doing exactly what they said they'd do.

My only regret during the 'trial' my team tried to force on my command deck was that I couldn't open it up to the crimes the accusers did as well. If you're going to pull that ♥♥♥♥ on my deck I'm going to make everything public.

[gurugeorge]

I only forgave her because her betrayal wasn't deliberate, just the result of a rash and too-Drukhari-trusting decision that she regrets. If it had been deliberate I would have killed her, even though I'm playing a big softie Iconoclast who's fascinated by her quasi-Eastern mysticism. :)

I can't remember all the related dialogue, but the screenshot Cutlass Jack linked to above is what I got too. If there was any betrayal of me going on, it was Achilleas, and she was right to kill him.

[REhorror]

Yrliet is basically the dumbest Eldar alive to me, like even the dumber than the average muh prophecy farseer.

She decides to use her freedom to trust the Dark ones, like what's next, trusting Chaos?
Approaching Tau level of stupidity there.

Still, I gonna need her rifle-arm to get this through this hellish place.

Yeah, cool it, buddy.
Killing or accidentally killing a bunch of mooks in my ship, which die by the regular every times warp storm is comparable to leading me and my whole retinue to an ambush? Never mind, TRUSTING Dark Eldar with that.

What kind of logic is that?

Last attempt to do so by Space Marine Chapter ended with them being wiped. You're suggesting complete suicide.

That's actually pure truth. Space Marines have such ability.

Absolutelly. It is one of their survival finctions. You eat your enemies in unknown environment and learn from it. Great mechanism.

Yep, this is actually ONE of their augments.
Were they able to spit acid too, or did I disremember it?

She refused to say regrets or a short version of reasons she did what she did to my companions and friends - after they were TORTURED as result of her actions. That mean we are all stay monkeys for her and MC only became "her favorite pet".

Not the thing I capable to forgive, so bolt in the head.

P.S. I guess most of her "forgivers" never actually experienced something even distantly related to being tortured (like MC was) in real life. That's why they so easily "forgive her".

The stuff they did to all the companions were pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bad, Pascal was literal left to die as a pack of trash on the road. Probably the only one who manages to do well is Argenta because she's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Sister level of whoopass.

I feel the right choice was leaving Yrilet in eternal damnation as her "cousin"'s plaything but I'm too much of a goddy two shoes like that.

[Narky]

No - she went there under the impression that Marazhai was going to taunt/torture her further by doing something akin to providing the bodies of her missing kin. She was very desperate and suffering a lot of grief—as every Aeldari you'd searched for on her behalf up into that point were dead. (Remember, Aeldari experience emotions significantly stronger than humans do and it's why they have to practice restraint, otherwise losing themselves draws the gaze of Slaanesh).

Then she saw a shard of her Craftworld mounted in your Study like a common Trophy, leading her to believe that you were the one responsible for Crudurach's destruction. This is after she started to learn to trust a Human.

She had no idea that Marazhai's interest in you went further than simple rivalry (Marazhai believed you were secretly in cahoots with his sister)—and she had no idea he'd go to the extent of making a contract with Mandrakes in order to assure your capture.

She consigns herself to becoming a Drukhari after realising that she messed up exponentially bad, but that changes when she finds that you're alive.

[REhorror]

LOL yeah, sure, she told you straight to your face that she would rather trust the Dark Eldar (closer of her blood) than the dirty mon-keights LOL.

This is the level of stupidity that is probably close to non-canon or anything, I mean, a Eldar TRUSTING a Dark Eldar, what?

Anyway, glad Yrlet proves you can live hundreds or thousands of year but can still remain stupid.
