Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

They went to the trouble and presumably significant expense to hire Patrick Stewart to play a character who doesn't live past the tutorial?

The cost to have him work longer than the tutorial would probably have been even more significant :)

Makes sense to spend most money on the tutorial. All players see the tutorial. Fewer players see the side quest characters or final boss.
