Can I have my Scions back?

This must be trolling or something.

More than a decade with the same cast to the point that the director doesn't even know where to put them anymore and there is absolutely nothing else left to explore their development in the story and yet you want more of the same?

Nothing else left to explore their development is just an excuse for bad writing. All they need is a purpose and a new plot. They don’t have to be the center of the story and being generic NPCs like 7.0 is even worst, is not what am I saying, but there should be something for their fanbase.

Even sidequests would make me happy.

This.

And also, I think it would help tremendously when the writing allows them to have conflict with each other (i.e thancred vs ysthola in ShB). Or even divide and pair them in an unconventional way.
So like, instead of the usual Alphi - Alisae, Thancred - Urianger, ysthola - Graha, or Graha - Krile; maybe it can be Thancred get partnered up with Alisae, which allows them to have unique interaction (i.e thancred is shown to have competitive streak and was looking forward to beat her in the succession rite).

On a side note, I wish we get flirty thancred back. Maybe not as much as ARR Thancred is, but his playboy persona is his trademark.
