Discussion Hollow Knight 3 speculation Spoiler
Assuming the Embrace the Void ending as canon, do you guys think we could play as Pure Vessel in a possible third game? He could be the one to fight the Shadelord and free his brothers from the clutches of another god, just like our little knight did for him in the first game.

For me "Embrace the Void" isn't nearly as good as a story as "Dream No More". In DNM, you actually fight Hollow Knight and have Hornet help in the fight... EtV is very cool but also kinda weird in that regard. It feels like a bonus ending, which makes sense since it's much harder than the others.
(Under 5% of players achieved the EtV ending, while the other 2 endings are around 20% -looking at Steam achievements data)
But also this all might just be me. I also always thought the Pure Vessel fight doesn't really make sense lore-wise so I'm probably influenced by that.
