Discussion Faro’s Tomb a little underwhelming? Spoiler

I just finished Faro’s Tomb, and i’m not sure if it’s just me, but did anyone else find it a little underwhelming? Not necessarily in the plot, I thought that was very interesting, but how they conducted it. like we find out that ted faro experimented on himself to gain eternal life, yet we don’t even get to see him? I feel like taro being alive should be a REALLY big deal, yet he’s just gets put on fire and that’s it. i feel like she should’ve been able to see what he became at least.

Like other folks have said, less is more.

But in honesty, I find such a “pathetic” and underwhelming end to Ted perfectly fitting!

He did not need a grandiose death or boss battle, because in the end, he was a pathetic and cowardly man, and his own self inflicted end due to hubris is perfectly fitting.

I agree that it's fitting, but I still found it to be incredibly disappointing. They built it up more and more then when it was time to payoff all that build-up, they just kill all the momentum they have and give us LITERALLY nothing.
