It may be that you might have run the gamut with your character. I certainly felt that way with my Blood Elf in WoW. She started out as a villain in Burning Crusade, with somewhat of a soft spot for lost, lonely people. The thing is she CONTINUALLY ran into these types who were kind to her, and over time, she grew less resistant to their kindness and slowly, slowly changed. By the time WotLK came to a close, she was a downright girl scout. But I felt good about it. I felt the change came naturally and gradually and I was actually a little proud of the moral standards she had developed.Â
When Cataclysm ground to a halt, I felt my character was tired. She had been through a near genocide, committed terrible acts in the name of her people, redeemed herself, helped in the war against countless legions of undead, helped with the reconstruction and recovery efforts for the Horde, got married, and started thinking about family. She'd been through all that, and I felt it was time to put her to bed, but I felt good about it. Now I like to think of her as a surly housewife who makes ridiculous, explosive gadgets and burned dinner for her husband. A far cry from her days as an agent provocateur. It makes me smile to think about it.
What I'm saying is, while I believe any character can be salvaged, sometimes a character is just "done." Of course, only can know this for sure, but I thought I'd offer a different perspective.
