I think, honestly, the Giant is keeping things in suspense too long though.

I'd be okay if Roy came back or if he died for good.

The Order of the Stick should go on without him if he dies forever, though.

Treating the idea they can't function without him is fanon that just diminishes them as heroes.

They're better characters than that.
I'm pretty sure you'll see this different when you re-read the stuff once Roy is back. You'll say "Cool storytelling. It was a annoying while it lated, but not that it is over and the large frame of the story stays, it is a truely good story!"
To me, it is the same as with the Miko-Story.
