Where should I start... Eris is just one of many characters where I wonder why they were seemingly abandoned. "Oh it's a sequel we desperately have to create new characters and throw other ones away!" - Bungo - The Speaker was never mentioned by the Vanguard since Homecoming, where Ikora went to get him, then ended up on Io. - Shiro-4. I liked him a lot. He had a balance between seriousness and jokes. Like a more serious Cayde. I miss him. At least Saladin could say a single line about his status. - Variks and Petra. Only through a Telesto ornament called "reef in ruins" you can imagine something happened there. But it's very unsatisfying. Also, on consoles, your Ghost recognizes the Fallen banner and says we worked with a Fallen. Yeah so uh, how about someone looks for Variks? - Ouros. The Sunbreaker Clan on Mercury just got wiped out while the Traveller was "offline"? That's it? There goes our chance of seeing another Titan leader. Instead, we got Sloane. D'oh! But at least we got some Ouros quotes. - Saint-14.. well, the shotgun has a fitting name. Perfect Paradox. I can't be certain what the hell this is about. I'd say he may still be alive and that we only saw a simulation of him. But it's weird time stuff, and Praedyth is still lost in the Vault of Glass, so there's not much hope. - Saladin once more only returns for the Iron Banner and has no words about the SIVA Crisis and us. I liked him as a more active person in Rise of Iron. - Speaking of which, Saladin is titled the last Iron Lord now. So, what about Efrideet? I didn't really like her teen-behaviour, I have to admit, but that statement contradicts her. And Efrideet also had a weird story about some friends far away. I don't know man. D2 reminds me of the new Star Wars trilogy... new creators just feeling the urge to kill or abandon characters from another installment. In D2, many things are just uncertain and you never know if some characters are even returning. That sucks. I'd trade in Hawthorne, Failsafe, Asher and Sloane in for Petra, Shiro, Variks any Eris any day.
