Why was this character killed off? (Warning spoilers)

Recent · October 19

I was upset when they killed Darian off but then he showed up as meridia's golden saint in summerset but why did they have to kill off gabrielle? Do you think she too will return or is this the end for her? Her and Darian had a bit of a romance going on and I'm wondering if they decided not to continue with that.

Just because the new stories are meh doesn't mean you should spoil them 🙃

My theory is its BECAUSE her and Darien had a bit of a romance going on. As a Darien enjoyer, she felt like competition and I’m glad she’s gone because of that.
Spoilers for post East Solstice:

Especially considering ZOS actually gives us the option now to start a romantic relationship with him.

I apologise , I edited my question with a spoiler warning

Though my elf might admit to a bit of fluster when Darien walks around shirtless, she realizes he's an incorrigible skirt chaser (like Jakarn) and quite unsuitable as a mate.

Gabriel, on the other hand, is the only mage we've met that has the potential to be Arch Mage. And given the pompous nature of Vanus, we were quite hoping someday to see Gabriel replace him.

Same. I'm ngl I was worried they were gonna bring her back to continue the romance so I sought out spoilers lol. Regarding Eastern Solstice:

Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised when I learned we finally get to rescue Darien from Meridia AND start a romance with him. It's like they found my content wishlist 🤣

The problem is she has a LOT of Antiquarian Circle correspondence letters meaning she is important to a LOT of other quests in the game which now will be extremely awkward to do if they do not resurrect her.

Also, I do not get what this obsession with Darien is, isn't he that guy from the Summerset questline?

He’s in 3 quest chains: Daggerfall Covenant, Main Quest, Summerset. I think he’s one of the most well written characters due to his developing connection to Meridia spanning multiple questlines. Not everyone loves him but to each their own— I don’t like Naryu and she’s another pretty popular “I want to date this NPC” target. All I can really say is Darien seems like the kinda guy to hold open a door for people instead of just opening it for himself.

Soarora, i just cannot resist: Darien is like our friendo Joey Tribbiani, while Naryu is our slayer Buffy

Yes I was hoping that she would eventually move up in the mages guild ranks, even surpass vanus some day.

Cute is one way of describing him

I'm sad because they killed off their breton mage with the most potential. I was hoping she would grow and become great after ESO's story. Something that could catch up to the great mages of history.

I just wish we had more relevant breton mages .

Walks-In-Ash absolutely spoiled it for me just by doing the intro quest to do the Stirk dailies for this Wall Event. Even ZOS couldn't spoiler warning it for an Event that everyone can participate in, lawl.
