We go into yet another season where Ikora practically does not exist. It looks as if she will have no impact or involvement in the new season's storyline, or activities. She isn't even so much as ACKNOWLEDGED in the Season 13 trailer. Her ambient dialogue/idle lines don't seem to have been updated since Shadowkeep. She repeatedly talks about how "we need to get inside that Pyramid", even though we did that a year ago, and the story has progressed through a whole year and a completely new campaign expansion. You threw us a bone last season with a single weblore featuring her, but nothing game-wise. I love Gina Torres. I do. She's an amazing actress. But come on Bungie. It's been long enough. If Gina is unavailable and/or now out of your price range, it's time to recast. Please. Ikora is 1/3 of the Vanguard, which is supposed to be the Overall Leadership of the Guardians. But you all are having Zavala shoulder literally all of the weight of this, and on the Vanguard side of things he is basically carrying the story by himself. You can't possibly tell me with a straight face that the decision to flat out IGNORE Ikora for over a year's worth of storylines is based on the actual story itself. Ikora should at this rate, be due for an entire season focusing solely on her. At the very least, she needs to be taken off the bench and put back into the game. Please recast Ikora and put her back in the story. She's supposed to be the Warlock Vanguard for crying out loud. At the moment, there is no Vanguard at all. It's just Zavala.
