[Spoiler] Aloth Romance Ending

[Shizukai]

Hey,

just finished the game and got a question. I romanced Aloth.


I once heard, he and the Watcher stay together.

Well, they did not.
One kiss when the romance started, on before confronting Eothas for the final time. And after that - in the credits - he left. Full of love and in hope of seeing the Watcher again though. Duty before love I guess and I am okay with that. Just wondering if I did something wrong

Thanks :')

Did you tell him that one person can make a difference and to keep at it? Then he keeps at it :p

I told him to take it easy, things happen, we cant control everything and in the ending slide he stops chasing the Leaden Key -cause whatever will be will be- and stays with my happy-go-lucky Watcher.

Before the Eothas kiss, ask him what you should do. If he says "Doesnt really matter, relax Watcher!" he's on the path to stay with you. (Pat on the back I finally corrupted by buddy)

Actually, your ending is nice too tbh. Its "apart for now" so... its kinda sweet.

Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.
I did in fact tell him exactly that because it felt (and still fells) right. It's even mentioned in the ending sequence:

But if there’s one thing he’s learned from the Watcher, it’s that a single person can change the world.

I have to admit, I felt sad for both of them since they parted ways.
At first, at least. The ending is indeed kinda fitting (and yes, kinda sweet too, you are right). But since I'm a hopeless romantic, it still stings, but well ...

...
I also like the ending you had. Both options show that we are able to inspire those close to us. I will think through it and try to figure out which way of character development I like more for Aloth.

Well I rationalised it like this: Aloth is gonna get himself killed if he goes on with this cause as Eder puts it, the boy can't even travel alone. So let me tell him to take it easy. I didn't like that he took it a bit to the "Oh, well. Whatever we do doesn't matter." So the advice kinda backfired.

Both endings have their good points :)

Edit: Character development wise I think what you got is best for Aloth.

[Shizukai]

I love Edérs "Aloth still doesn't know how to take a punch" (?)-phrase every time the little elf goes down, haha. So yeah, you are probably right.

I don't believe in "best" things for people, real or fictional.
It's all about what we pref :')

[Brian Sirith]

Yup, youre right! Have fun! :)

[Shizukai]

You too and thanks!

What makes me sad is that an answer 30 hours before the endgame make the final decision... But its a nice end...
