I've made this choice before, and I chose to keep Raz alive. But I can't kill Naryu, I just can't. So I would have to off Raz, at least I know he is prepared to die for his queen.

Honestly, it poses a more interesting conflict for my characters, as one is based in the Dominion, while the other in the Pact. I suppose it would come down to who I'm playing as at the time, but the choice would have severe consequences for my head-canon.

My Dominion character would accept Raz's death, since he knows that Raz is always ready to die for the Queen, and would probably choose to kill Raz to not make the same mistake twice.

My Pact character however, would not be so accepting. He would never choose to kill Naryu, as he is too blinded by emotion, and he would ultimately come to blows with whoever condemned her to death.

Ultimately, Raz will die given the choice, but I doubt such a choice will exist, as it is far to "extreme" for the devs or writers to go through with. And killing a prominent character would just be "immersion"-breaking and confusing for new players, especially since the game can be incredibly confusing when played out of sequence already.

Personally, I think it would be a great choice to have the players make (despite its flaws), to kill one of the two most prominent characters is incredibly ballsy and respectable. It would also make a great forum poll.

As long as Evelli comes back, I don't care either way

As a player I prefer Raz, maybe because Naryu's feminine wiles don't work on me. But if I had to choose one of them to stay in the game it would definitely be him.

Ilsabet the character would probably lean that way too, although she'd have to carefully (and probably angstily) consider all of the ramifications of the choice. Going through with it with Raz the first time was very emotionally-charged for her, and there'd be some lingering baggage there. But all other things being equal between the two she's more attached to Raz.

Raz. He's funny, charming, and I got the impression him and Ayrenn fooled around in the sheets. Because they were too embarrassed to admit something, after they said "things" happened after too many drinks. I took this as sex, but that's left to players I guess.

Naryu is cool, but she keeps making sexual remarks, which is fine, but playing my Argonian a certain way, makes it feel odd.

Raz, Naryu is just insufferable.

Only choosing Raz because I'm pretty sure Naryu isn't going to be appearing in Summerset. At most we're going to see her "daughter", Veya, because of that prophecy.

She is an elf......that's all I am going to say..

*whistles in thalmor*

There are only two NPCs in the game more annoying than Raz. The 'queen' Ayrenn and Stuga.

It depends: Does Naryu look like she does in the base game or does she look like someone messed up her face like in Morrowind?

raz, cuz he calls me friend and thats how i refer to everyone else i talk too

RAZ. Period. Just look at him, just listen him. He is perfect.

Raz

I love both, but Naryu kills people for a living, so ... I'd save fuzzy-faced Raz.

I'd save Raz for one simple reason: Naryu is more of a "reluctant hero" type, so her sacrifice would be more poignant.

Naryu for sure. Hopefully they’ll let us romance her properly at some point.
