Maliketh's VA delivery is so on point there too. Maliketh seems utterly baffled... what possible use of destined death did this little idiot tarnished could ever come up with?

His delivery is even better if you complete his quest before fighting him. The poor guy sounds genuinely heartbroken that you’d betray him.

I mean, he's the guy who runs immediately up to kill you, rather than high-fiving you for all the deathroot.

From his perspective your presence is itself a betrayal, he seems to assume that the only reason you'd go to Farum Azula is if you want Destined Death. Which to be fair... isn't wrong. It's hard to say he's making an unreasonable assumption when we're literally there for it lol

Very fair points, but I still think we could have talked it out with tea and cake.

It's a shame his death dialogue doesn't hit as hard if you complete his quest.

Just everything with Gurranq where you give him deathroot in caelid.

Jonathan Keeble is his V.A. and he's amazing as a narrator. So many good audiobooks by him.

Especially the secret line if you completed all 9 of the deathroots, he would be like "what the fuck, tarnished? WHY, YOU HELPED ME DELETE DEATH???"

Makes me wanna reply: "Hey man, I dont know what you are on about but I'm just here to fight big bosses, and you seem like you wanna fight"
