I honestly don’t like DE 2.0 at all and much prefer if we had stuck with the original crew. Or if we’re going to change team members, do it with every new expansion. There is literally nothing they contribute that the original members couldn’t. The only one I really approve of is Canach although I didn’t play LS1, I liked how his character developed through LS2 and HoTs. I think the problem is that non-sylvari who played through HoTs don’t really get the bonding that sylvari PCs get with Canach. Since I only played on a sylvari character, I felt Canach was the only one in the party who understood the internal conflict of fighting back Mordremoth in the mind as they went through the jungle. Like we made sure to keep each other in check most of the time. Granted, any Sylvari could’ve fulfilled the same thing, like maybe Caithe.
Taimi and Zojja could’ve done the same thing except Zojja can fight without her suit, so it probably would’ve been easier.
I’m guessing Marjory was only a detective in LS1 because I honestly think anyone else could do her job, she was also barely there.
Kasmeer I thought was actually useful, but I just reeeeaaally didn’t like her. I can’t really describe it, I guess her personality just seemed generic to me.
What was Rox supposed to do?.. she just seemed kinda there.
Braham didn’t really interest me because they never explained the conflict him and his mom had. He just kinda hated her and she felt guilty and then they just got along. Then when they killed Eir, it felt forced just to give him some kind of resolve to him.
Rytlock, had never really had any reason to do what he did, but he didn’t really have a reason in EoD. Things just kinda happened, so him being there was more or less “Not leaving a job unfinished”. I wish they’d go more in-depth into his journey in the mists. I think he would have gone his own way to fight back Mordremoth, especially if he found out his boyfriend and Zojja were captured.
Final Verdict: We need Biconics to help the PC overcome obstacles that wouldn’t make sense for us to know how to solve and for commentary to answer questions we, the player, might have or to develop plot. Do we need these specific guys? No, I despise em. I miss the original DE or i wish they would change them every expansion so we can experience different people.
