There's clearly an issue that goes beyond scions always being there. Lately they've been struggling with writing compelling characters that could possibly take up a new slot on the scion crew.

The last actually good character we had that joined up is Estinien. They tried to shoehorn Erenville in, then completely shit the bed in Dawntrail. If they wanted his character to be a proper addition to our group, they probably needed to give him character development and stuff. Screen time. You know, the usual. Apparently the amateur writers forgot that.

Krile has been tagging along for SO long, but didn't get a crumb of character development for years. Once again, something that was supposed to change with Dawntrail presumably. Did it? No. The writers forgor.

Let's imagine for a second that the devs delete the old scions for good. What are we going to be left with? More Wuk Lamat?? There's nothing else there. Until they actually manage to write some replacements, all of these discussions are kind of pointless. I'm tired of the scions too. Until Dawntrail I was really hopeful that we'd see less of them and more of new characters. Now I'm cautiously pessimistic about meeting any more new characters the team will come up with. Zero and Wuk are the same crap in a different wrapper and the exact opposite of compelling characters.
