Wow, Wuk Lamat is really single-handedly ruining the DT story...

The dev really need to let go the scion for real, maybe we still have their companion once in a while but not the whole scion, urianger and thancred is basically free people, just let them go yoshi, the twin should be busy again with garlean so again let them go too

Yshtola probably busy in library, krile and graha also the same, the only person that make sense to join our adventure is estinien tbh

I think people should stop fixating on "they should let the scions go", which is a superficial issue. It's not the core problem. They are all our friends, if the devs have brains that allow them to write well, they can legitimately come adventuring with us if they like, since as you said they are "free people", why can't free people join us? And why can't they have new stories too? I mean the devs can choose not to, but that's not inevitable no matter what people claim. People who dislike these characters will like to not see them, that's totally understandable, but that's a separate issue. There are tons of characters I don't like seeing again, doesn't mean if the devs have chosen to they can't make more new stories for them, my taste notwithstanding.

The fundamental problem is that the devs no longer know how to write ANY characters and stories in a not "in-your-face" and superficial way. There are tons of new characters this expansion, I don't see this new cast of characters being written any better. No matter whether they write the scions or not, if they don't wrestle back the ability to actually WRITE, nothing will work.
