As long as they don't bring Haurchefant or Ysayle back, I'm content. I don't mind Gaius returning since he represents the Garlemald that I want to see more of...though I'd have been equally happy with a different character being introduced and slipping into his intended role. Though there is a very thin line being tread already. When death feels 'cheap' it rubs people the wrong way. Every person has characters they like and those that they don't. So bringing characters back from the dead is always going to be controversial as there's going to be those who question why X is brought back but Y isn't.

As for 4.4, I'm hoping that we learn why Varis spat on the coffin of the previous Emperor. He's very much a wildcard at the moment. Varis having met Alphinaud already back in Heavensward makes it likely that the pair will meet again.
