If Strahd dies, they might find someone more interesting to take his place. You said "The whole adventure is pointless if there is no possible ending wherein the people of Barovia aren't saved." If The People Of Barovia are saved, that's a happy ending. Also, there are small victories. You don't have to save "The People Of Barovia." You can save Farmer Bob from the horror that's going after him--or if not Farmer Bob, then other people who might be affected by the same horror later on.Because horror is fun? If you don't think that, then it's probably not the setting for you. It's like with Call of Cthulhu. You can't destroy all of the cosmic horror. You probably can't even kill a single shoggoth. You know your character is going to go insane and die. You either enjoy the game for that, or you can just play in a different setting. Either is fine.</blockquote>
