My wet dream is Hoyo designing a character to look like a playable one, have a vision and colored hair and stylish clothing and all making it look like they're gonna be playable. Just to have them die in the Archon Quest. Ever since Teppei in Inazuma (I believe) and excluding Sumeru (the Dunyarzad fake out), we've had an NPC die in the AQ and have a whole sad section for them. Teppei in Inazuma, Melus and Silver in Fontaine and the one warrior guy in Natlan



The thing is, I've gotten used to it and now I want the game to surprise me.


So, instead of having the character survive through a deus-ex Makima, I want Hoyo to fake us out by making us believe they're gonna be playable and kill them off.


I know this'll never happen because they spend time designing characters and thus don't wanna waste it and stuff but a man can dream
