Can I say that I would have liked it a lot better if Astrid ran off to join the Dawn Brigade than if she went and shackled herself with a derelict alcoholic and gambler?
I nearly pointed that out. I mean... Makalov? That's not even funny. :/
although the fact that their parents are dead might have to do something with it.
I think that has a lot to do with things overall. We have no idea what the parents of Marth or Nyna or Leaf or Eirika/Ephraim or countless other characters actually wanted, because hey, they're dead and their plans are inoperative.
And the philandering Lord of Velthomer drove many a plotline to its sad conclusion.
Jugdral is arguably the most "realistic" in some aspects, as in acknowledging that hey, adultery and broken marriages and bastard children all exist and it's not always the 100%EVIL characters involved in such.
