'''Option 2: Define "hero" to be any major characters with obviously good intentions.'''<br>
'''Option 2: Define "hero" to be any major characters with obviously good intentions.'''<br>
This opens the gates ever so slightly more: instead of limiting the category exclusively to protagonists, any notable character who helps out for obviously good reasons would be included as well. This is more in line with the proper definition of a "hero", and it also allows the category to be filled out more thoroughly. In this case, the [[partner]]s would remain, due to their required nature and constant (though perhaps inconsistent) involvement in the gameplay and story. The flipside of broadening the definition, however, is that there may be some overlap with [[:Category:Allies]], and that category's a mess as well. To counter this, a compromise could be made that clearly set notable characters as heroes and more minor characters as allies - though this isn't strictly relevant to this proposal. If we're keeping the category, I'd prefer this option for its wider reach.
