Yrilet's endings
On reddit people say that the true romance ending of Yrilet is bugged - and aside from the ending where Yrilet leaves the player immediately after the end of the game and returns only at the time of his death - there is an ending where the player and Yrilet stay together. Is this true?

I had romanced her in my first playthrough Icono and she stayed some 50years, or something around that time frame with me, in my epilogue.

And yet in the end she left you :( So, there is no endings where the player and Yrilet stay together in relationships? :(

It's more like a special friendship you share with her, but I have only pursued that romance once.

Unfortunately, I think that is the bugged ending (what I also got, but she promised to stay with me until my dying hour, made no sense to leave, because her Path was over). The real "romance ending" slide should be:

"Her elantach alone kept Yrliet among the mon-keigh, but her heart was restless, and her soul bled from journeys through the warp. Her quests in search of spirit stones grew longer and more frequent. One day, Yrliet returned to find the elantach on his deathbed - her search has taken decades, yet decades pass without notice for Aeldari. Yrliet spent the elantach's final days with him, and when the time came for death to place its hand on the Rogue Trader's shoulder, she entered his world one last time. The elantach, young again, looked at her with a smile. Tears burned Yrliet's skin, and then, the dim light of the human soul endede. Yrliet touched the elantach's wrist to check his pulse. She closed her eyes, sighed, and left the von Valancius protectorate, never to return.

Then why they named it as a Romance route and why she does not give us a possibility to be with anyone else in the Act IV?

So the best ending is where Yrilet leaves the player after the end of the game and returns only at the time of his death?

I still can't understand why the player couldn't travel with her for the soul stone? Why was she travelling alone? And why the player lives so little, when according to Warhammer lore with genetic modifications and augmentations Free Traders can live for a thousand years :(

I think you are reading it wrong - she stays with him and occasionally goes to search for a spirit stone (since, you know... she broke hers to save the RT). And the RT can't just ditch his responsibilities to the dynasty to go on a quest with her for who knows how long. She always returns. Until one day, after her n-th long quest, she returns to find him on his deathbed. (Frieren parallels?)
And yes, this ending is much better than the one she leaves after ending the path of the Outcast to be gunned down by Pasqal some time later.

1. In the game itself, the Free Trader is often travelling around the region rather than sitting in the capital.

2.
>Her quests in search of spirit stones grew longer and more frequent.
>Her search has taken ///decades///, yet decades pass without notice for Aeldari.

Very good "living together" - haven't seen each other in decades (sarcasm)

3.
>Yrliet spent the elantach's final days with him, and when the time came for death to place its hand on the Rogue Trader's shoulder, she entered his world one last time. The elantach, young again, looked at her with a smile.

According to Warhammer lore Eldars live about 2-3 thousand years on average. Also according to Warhammer lore very rich people and Mechanicus can afford to extend life, with the help of gene modifications and augmentation, for more than 1 thousand years. Which is confirmed by the fact that for tens of thousands of years, our dynasty was ruled by a total of about 20 Free Traders - that is, they lived extremely longer than ordinary people. And the Free Trader is a very rich man, and he surely can not be afraid of augmentation.

You're connected with her on a spiritual level, which is something huge for a Aeldari, you don't get a human romance with her. If you expect something like kisses and sleeping, or children with her forget it right now, you have a special relationship with her, you have seen her inner world and she has seen yours.

I'll just remind you that in Warhammer not all Eldar are created in incubators, there are also a lot of liveborn. Learn the lore.

I didn't say they're all born in incubators, I said that you shouldn't expect a humanlike relationship with her, she sees the human species like we would see a relationship with an animal.
You also can have a talk with her about that in the game, it shouldn't really surprise you.

Craftworld Eldar have offspring normally with each other, a male and female. The incubators you're referring to are a Drukhari method and they're not Liveborn, it's True Born. Marazhai explains this too us when we ask about his sister.
For Drukhari normal births are dangerous and only the Archons and high ranks can get away with it.

It's a sad thing Yrliet hasn't developed lovely feelings to our Rogue Trader, even platonical ones. Hugs could have been cool you know ...
