While he has always be shown as just an enforcer or lackey when it comes to the story in the Mortal Kombat games for one of my favourite characters id be stolked if he was in MKX as a playable character. Although most MK games have to have their enforcers like Reptile so it would be true to form for him to be in the game, on the other hand though he could not. We'll just have to wait and find out. NRS could give him better roles in the games, because usually he's nothing more than that enforcer, and does nothing more than either trying to serve the main villain (and get screwed when he's defeated) or trying to betray him... to also get screwed for it. It looks unfair. He could be so much more popular if he did something more significant, but everyone keeps on giving him the same stupid roles.

Also, his powers look so... well, he doesn't have powers other than his blades, and that's also annoying, because even people like Sonya, who's supposed to be a normal person except for her combat skills, have more abilities and special moves than him. The only thing he can do that involves "power" is firing a spark. That's what makes him so sad. Now try to invent 3 variations for Baraka in MK X: "Oh, the first one can be focused on his blades, and the second one... uh... err...". If only he could do anything else.
