    And what did they learn? "Seeds solve racism."

    I have a feeling the new writers don't really know how to write the scions so they just try to utilize them as little as possible. The mid expansion scene where alisaie stops wuk lamat from attacking seem so out of character. Pre-dawntrail alisaie would have been the first to attack him.

    Alisaie was there so we could sit next to each other at a campfire and be asked the questio : “Do you have anyone not blood related that you consider family?”.

    And then she could say, “lol, hard one, I’ll think about it. How about you WoL?”

    And then my WoL could respond with, “…wtf.”

    I still remember the most important quote from Shadowbringers, “this is our future, our story”.

    I want the MSQ to be about the WoL’s adventures, not for us to be second fiddle to another.

    Spending time on Wuk is ok but not the whole expansion and then some. Definitely not make them the main character, I got enough of that treatment back when I played WoW.

    Hopefully the devs will do better in January of 2027 when 8.0 arrives.

    Final advice for the devs:
    8.0 should be a single story and only bring along characters that are required to move the story along. No need for cameos, save those for the post expansion patches. Take the time to flesh out the story properly and don’t rush or overload it. Look at HW and ShB for examples.

    They're just here to fill the duty NPC party, they literally have no other role in this story.

    Supposedly learn something to improve relations with the Garleans but it's a pretty flimsy excuse that forgets how much time they've spent as envoys/diplomats in the past. Especially Alphinaud. From ARR to HW and crowning in ShB he's shown to be very capable at navigating and understanding new cultures. You'd think that rather than sail halfway around the world to understand Garleans he'd just spend more time with them.

    Unfortunately ever since Endwalker the twins have been made useless. I suppose it makes sense since they're just kids, but why bother giving them growth in the first place if you're just going to take it away?

    Naw I don't really resonate with that particular complaint.
    I don't mind playing a secondary role. That wasn't the issue.

    I do agree though that in the future only characters that make sense to come with us should come with us.
    Like I don't like Y'shtola for example but her being absent while we travel to Living Memory when her new goal was to travel new worlds was a miss.

    I assume maybe it's not just a narrative problem but maybe a wanting to give Trusts continued relevance?

    Because if you take Everkeep as an example they just shoe horned Scions in place so they could be npcs for the Second Trial.

    I think maybe a part of their development team is pushing that.

    But like they could just make generic NPCs to help in those cases... or start preparing stories for casts that make sense since the First Trial I think with trusts made sense. We don't need the Scions.

    I believe our travel companions for the future should be Graha'tia, Krile, Estinien and Erenville (Who needs to pick up a bow or something maybe he can be a beast master)

    We should be more in line with the students of Baldesion now with Sharlyan as our new base of operations.

    Just make Erenville beat enemies up with his backpack like we used to do back in highschool.
