Man, I know your pain, I finished the MSQ before touching this thread again.
For the Zenos stuff, yeah the reason I hope he isn't dead is the reason people hope he is dead. He was bland otherwise, basically just an animal to kill and to have him at the end basically makes the whole thing feel cheap if he has nothing to add onto.
Like, here was a boss buildup that happened over 2 expansions with the ascians...also something else. Like yeah he was a "Big Bad" but I felt like he died quick and served no story purpose other than something to kill.
So, in that sense, I hope he is the herald of something bigger, the first to come of a much greater unknown. The aggressive part of a bigger group. Because, as big as the ascians were, as told by the final zone, they weren't all that alone in their power in the grand scheme. Alone in their TIME maybe, but not alone in their reality. All it would take is something that transcends time, an emotion perhaps...something that was touched on but not really explored.
I dunno, I'm really pulling for my thought of something along the lines of the character exploring the "Karma" or whatever it's called power. With the main character being Hope and finding out that there are many other major emotions outside of it that impact some level of control over the things around them.
I was actually thinking for a bit they may actually turn the main character into a primal of sorts, what with our cohorts already following us into some pretty insane shit and some dying in the process.
