10 Video Games That Killed Off The Wrong Character

10. Lilith & Maya - Borderlands 3

Borderlands 3 arrived late last year and... has pretty much been forgotten about by everybody. While the premium looter shooter will never make its way onto any 'Top Ten Narratives in Video Games' list, it still tries. Apparently that involves killing off at least one fan favourite character per game, like all storytelling should aim to do.

Due to the narrative genius of Gearbox, it isn't just one, but two Vault hunters that die this time around.

The problem isn't that Maya and Lilith get the axe - it's that there are SO many worse characters the game could have chosen instead.

Ava is annoying, she's always in the way, and she complains at every step of her journey. Not only that, but then the game tries to claim she's one of its most important characters, and just gives her Maya's powers. Wonderful work Gearbox, hilarious joke.

It's as if one of the writers said 'we need to kill someone, fans love that', then made the voice actors play a game of Russian roulette. The twist being every cylinder was loaded and only the fun characters were allowed to play.
