Although the majority of D2 planetary vendors were bland and dull. Devrim’s personality is just a copy-pasted Wikipedia page defining the word “British”, Sloan should have died in the Savathun’s song strike (Taeko-3 would have been a more interesting character to keep around), and I have seen several petitions to kill off Vance. But Asher and Failsafe have the potential to be interesting and memorable characters. This could be due to the fact they have an actual backstory. Asher’s being his arm was corrupted by radiolaria and has vowed revenge ever since. And failsafe is a surviving golden age AI whose entire crew was killed off by vex on Nessus. Too bad they were limited to a few missions and some virtual claw machines for year 1 loot. [spoiler]Also, the adventures with dialogue from the planetary vendors interacting with each other felt interesting and was a step to flesh out their personality. Bungie, can we have more stuff like this? The failsafe dialogue in the raid was an example of how this could be implemented in future content. [/spoiler]
