Out of Character Behaviour and Epilogues - Major spoilers!!

$

This thread will contain major spoilers, please be aware. Read no further if you don't want to deal with ToB epilogues and other late-game related questions! I'm not sure if I did the spoiler tags right, so be careful.

I recently finished my first EE play through. I had myself (as a blade), Dorn, Rasaad, Hexxat, Aerie and Viconia.

*Aerie/Hexxat banter spoiler*

[spoiler]
As I'd been playing through the game I'd found the dialogue between Aerie and Hexxat to be quite good. Aerie was at odds with the fact that Hexxat was a vampire, but they seemed to be talking it out. Aerie began as accusatory and aggressive but her anger seemed to wane as she talked with Hexxat who had this "This is what I am" attitude. I found the aggression a bit out of character for Aerie, but then I'm late into ToB when a dialogue I didn't see coming happens.

Aerie calls Hexxat an "abomination she can no longer tolerate" and they both drop group to fight it out. I found this this completely confusing, both for Aerie as a character (because she never struck me as judgmental or an aggressor) and for the dialogue that'd been leading up to it because I thought the conflict was calming down. Did anyone else find this exchange weird? Am I the only one to have seen it?

*Dorn Epilogue spoiler alert!!!*

[spoiler]
I also found Dorn's Epilogues both to be slightly out of character for him. The first one, where you become a god, he ends up captured and sent to Luskan for execution multiple times. I found this really strange for someone as stab-happy and powerful as Dorn. It didn't help that he was captured by Mercy Whitedove, who I've only encountered in the Thayan Black Pits. So it felt like he was repeatedly captured by some no-namer.

If you choose to stay mortal and romanced him like I did then the ending feels worse. Dorn gets captured but CHARNAME breaks him out. They escape many times from Mercy Whitedove, which annoys me because I just assume that we'd murder her the first time. This whole "escapes and lives on the lam" gimmick seems very out of character for Dorn and CHARNAME.

I suppose its worth mentioning that Dorn was a fallen Blackguard in my game. Does anyone know if his epilogue changes from not being fallen?

*Other miscellaneous spoilers*

[spoiler]
Rasaad's ending also felt like a bit of a let down since he just goes back to die AND we find out we didn't even manage to kill Alorgoth. Does anyone know if his romance changes depending on whether or not you encourage him to stay faithful to Selune? Also, does anyone know his ending if you romance him?
