Why are you assuming you were ever supposed to feel sympathy for them to begin with? It's 40K, every race is antagonistic to and hates each other, the most you'll ever get is a temporary truce while two opposing sides focus on a greater threat. The Eldar and the Imperium are never going to be anything other than enemies and were never intended to be. Quite frankly the way that they tried to force Eldar characters to be part of the retinue in RT is really, really poorly done and doesn't fit the setting at all, but if you went with a full Imperium team the way you should have, people would cry and bitch that "it's only Imperium characters I want to have xenos!" so yeah.

She should've been a competent and intelligent agent of her Craftworld (and Farseer) who actually understood perfectly well what was happening on Janus, and viewed the RTs arrival as the perfect opportunity to manipulate them into taking care of the Slaaneshi infection, and done so, rather than being the incompetent moron she is in the actual game.
I also would've really, really preferred they actually made her an actual, full Ranger with all the experience and skill that would've entailed, so she could actually have been a source of information and an asset to the retinue that would justify her presence on the ship. What does the version of Yrliet they went with even do for the RT? She's just constantly asking favors, while doing nothing to earn them, and providing nothing of value in exchange.
Personally I would've really liked it if she wasn't even a Ranger and was a full on Aspect Warrior, as well, Rangers have been done to death in licensed 40K material and it's tiring. It also would've allowed for real explanation of how the Paths work in her dialogue chains since she would've actually understood them.
I feel like the entire reason that Yrliet is an Outcast, in fact, is because the writer who created her didn't want to bother with all the details of writing an actual Eldar and so went with the lowest effort, easiest option possible so they could create an "Eldar" character that knows nothing about being a CW Eldar at all.
Writing this stuff out annoys me. Yrliet is all that RT is ever going to have, and it will forever be trash and a completely missed opportunity to show off CW Eldar. Maybe the Corsair in DH will be handled better, but I'm not holding my breath.
