What Zero Could've Been

[RukoBoshi]

I think some of your points are worth considering but maybe you overstate the case. I don't have any problem with the character but it is the exact same pace we've seen dozens of times.

I'd argue the pace is a little different this time around.
Her relationship with us is purely professional right now, our goals are aligned because she benefits from it. She don't really care about our objectives.

Now i wonder if it will stay similar when Zero's character arc is complete.
Will she become another character that just tag along and do what's right just because it's good, or will she gain new objectives of her own ?

I really hope that Estinien and Zero have their own agency coming into the next expansion (if she tag along).
Or at least that they come with us for the adventure/discovery and not because we have to save something. That way they can figure out a goal once we're there.
