Summary
Veilguard's companion questlines are the heart of the game, and also clearly where they expect to win the player's. It is incredibly frustrating, then, that they are all so - not even bad as uneven and unexplored.
So, I am going to spend thousands and thousands of words working through my frustrations going through each one, finding what seems like compelling themes and conflicts in it, and laying out how I'd have written it to focus on them.

Summary
People always ask, baffled and contemptuous, who would offer themselves to an evil or monstrous god, roll their eyes at the stupidity and greed that must blind those offering sacrifices.
But when the days are only just beginning to grow cold and short, and hunger pangs are already daily companions, things seem different. If Famine is to be your guest for the winter regardless, why not offer what you have, that she arrives full of favor?
