Idea for a New Expansion: Gaius van Baelsar lives... and he needs your help

[Anonymoose]

I've no doubt that a number of people merely liked Baelsar because he was a badass antagonist and those always draw certain types of people (even Zenos has a devoted player following...). However...

A Good Character ≠ A Good Person
Having potential value to a satisfying plot doesn't make a character necessarily estimable. I see Gaius a bit like certain iterations of Magneto from X-Men, or The Operative from Firefly (Serenity), Loki from the MCU at times. Hell even the Templars of Assassins Creed are out for world peace and human survival by means of subverting freedom of choice as a shortcut. Potential Tropes: Anti-Villain, Fire-forged Friend, Sympathy for the Devil, Enemy Mine.


As long as his character makes sense and he goes down deserving of having had the game's number pinned on him, I'm happy.
