We've gotten to the point where if certain characters show up or the story takes us back to an older location then it's obvious that even minor characters will be perfectly safe. All to maintain the status quo at any cost...but mysteriously never really throwing a bone to those of us who favour the antagonists and would enjoy seeing at least some of them stick around without being forced to lose everything, proclaim that their ideals were 'always misguided' or just generally end up going in an utterly bizarre direction far removed from what appealed to those who liked the character in the first place.
It's gotten to the point that every time Y'shtola (for example) has another potential (but obviously fake out) death scene, my immediate reaction is "THANK GOD, FINALLY!"

I felt more of an emotional impact and a deeper sorrow when Elidibus died at the end of Post-Shadowbringers than absolutely anything involving the Scions across every expansion.
