[Feedback][FE] Insufficiency of crucial instruction led to a disappointing ending
== Spoiler Alert ==


The Fading Ember DLC does not provide sufficient instruction on player must make the final decision of reaching an agreement with either Colonel Markov or Taras the fence.

Ever since I learned Milena escaped into the forest, I was under an impression that the DLC wants me to survive for as long as possible until Milena eventually come back to the museum with a third alternative evacuation plan. The survivors' distrusts toward Colonel Markov and Taras the fence intensified such an impression.

I thought reaching an agreement with either Colonel Markov or Taras the fence is just optional and is for finishing the DLC faster.

Also, the survivors' monologues (which automatically appear above their heads) were just about helping Adam's orphans by giving them a book and about Ruben left. To me, that's another indication that reaching an agreement with either Colonel Markov or Taras the fence is optional and is not crucial.

Because of the aforementioned reasons, I tried to survive for as long as I can. But Milena did not come back to the museum and my first attempt of this DLC failed eventually. That's disappointing.

This DLC really needs to clearly let players know the importance of reaching an agreement with either Colonel Markov or Taras the fence to prevent players from thinking the otherwise. And I suggest adding that to the survivors' monologues, which is the easiest way of improvement, in my opinion.
