I get the impression that Saavedro didn't figure out the fourth symbol thing because he was so busy planning revenge in a fog of insanity he failed to internalize everything and/or consider other options. Perhaps Saavedro realized in this scene that his quest may have been unnecessary.
It bothers me that even after realizing that his people are alive, Saavedro still takes the opportunity to be vindictive towards Atrus and throw Raleeshahn into the abyss if you give him the opportunity to do so. You have to resort to tricking Saveedro and make him give up Raleeshahn in desperation. I know that he and the protagonist part ways on...well, I'll call them "cordial" terms, since he ultimately goes home, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Indeed. However, he never moved on from his grief and had years to blame Atrius for everything and I'm sure that's hard to let go, especially since I'm sure he convinced himself that it was all his fault because his sons were already punished and out of Saavedro's reach. He decided to take it all out on the person still within his reach: Atrius. Spending years doing mental gymnastics to make it all his fault means that he's now so twisted that he can't let go of his rage at Atrius, because he was being unreasonable to blame Atrius in the first place. I'm sure the player just decided that now that they had the book, Saavedro is safely on the other side, they have no reason to leave him trapped and just let him go. It's not about if he deserved it or not, it was about not letting a person suffer out of spite, you know, like Saavedro does if you just let him go like he wants but he still has the book. Being kind when you have the luxury to do so.
I wonder if, after this, Atrus has tried to reconnect with Saavedro and try to make up for his sons' actions...

I played this game, years ago,and I loved it
This is AMAZING! I can finally win my game of Exile without just figuring things out. Thanks for making this :)

After what he has been through, it's very difficult to blame him.
Nah I trapped that bozo, after what he did to my mental state by embedding that single red peg into the rotation device in amateria...
