I mean more in the broad sense- to hope that there’s going to be any action at all towards something one personally likes.
My standards are pretty low I guess.

Its a vague undulation in a direction I think most folks here would probably prefer?
That’s kinda all you can realistically hope for a lot of the time
Technically, random race/class/etc upon a new life is really more common with Roguelites. (You kinda acknowledge that, but roll with me. Trying to be facetious with the Roguelike snobbery thing, not sure if I pulled it off lol)
Traditional Roguelikes usually let you pick what kind of fresh Hell you’re setting yourself up for.
…So maybe this is Roguelike rules.
You fuckin chose your species, religion, and class.
Just not how much food you get to eat, what books you get the chance to read (without tremendous effort on your part) and when you will die.
Oh, sweet heavens, this is so much worse! We did this to ourselves
Not totally related, but in the mid 2000s, I had thought that being made an NPC in a video game was a really kind honor- that someone probably really cared about you.
(usually if they didn’t, you’d get relegated to a humiliating gag or antagonist. Technically also NPCs, I guess, but not what you think of as “NPC”)
…And then the internet went and turned NPC into an insult.
Makes me feel sad for all those loving tributes and Make a Wish kids.
