I will never find love in this world because I want to be a loyal husband in the 12th century who dies in a brutal battle and is disemboweled and my wife mourns me so hard she dies of grief and reunites with me in a completely real afterlife
The worst writing concept is introducing literally any character ever, having them be relevant in different degrees for two to even three games, and then cutting them with an off screen death or something
—death because who wants to mourn a character like a real person, and feel dishonored when the characters in the game do not care enough. So an off screen death, or being cut off screen, is even worse, because you get pretty much none of that at all.
I just know some dumb shit will happen to Gaz. It's not like I am being unrealistic and saying he can't die, I'd just rather it be on screen and impactful.
Soap's death was mildly realistic because it was so sudden and couldn't be focused on, but it made it a shit cinematic—
