6.1 MSQ showcases the narrative problems that continue to plague the game's story

would you rather they straight up delete the rest of the scions and introduce a brand new cast that no one cares about?

omg yes, yes omg yes.

I'm still bitter that over the course of 10 years of fighting Primals, Gods and beings with power that is beyond our comprehension, everyone was so wrapped in plot armor they were never in any danger. It took so much out of the story that it took all the tension out of the msq. I mean, prior to the fight with Emet, he rained giant pointy things on the scions and missed every single one of them. During the final days, not a single hair was lost, not even a single tear in their jackets.

While I didn't want any of the scions to die, well except Y'shtola, Alphinoob and Graha, having them all come out without even a scratch was infuriating. I would have much rather had some main characters die here and there to make the story better and more intense, than just rolling my eyes and thinking "oh golly gee no" whenever one of them got "hurt".

That being said, they can still exist in the world, we could still see them here or there, which would make sense since they disbanded and want to keep their heads low, but nope, can't have that cause reasons. The story has all kinds of issues beyond this and anyone who is not blinded by sheer devotion can see it. But they really should have taken the XI approach and given us a brand new cast of characters with minor interaction between us and the scions every once in a great while with each new story and expansion from here on out.
