Shaw Han is literally a plank of wood in a wasteland

The cosmodrome already feels like an empty lacklustre location with no motivation or loot to obtain but we are given on of the most boring and copy paste characters I’ve seen in a while. I feel like shaw offers nothing new to the table. With characters that have so much dynamics and backstories like the brays, the vanguard, the drifter and Eris, it seems like Shaw was a massive waste of a character. He doesn’t even get different dialogue for veteran players and treats our guardian like we a newbies too. Personally I think the only way to fix such a bland lifeless character is to give some more backstory or lore to him, make him a vendor and offer new cosmodrome style weapons or armor, change parts of his design so he looks less like an action figure and add new dialogue for both new players and veteran players. Doing just this to the vendor alone may give me more reasons to go to the cosmodrome rather than it be a waste of storage space. Especially the loot to earn part.

    I don't think you know enough about Mr Han. If you haven't done New Light, I'd recommend playing that to get some more appreciation for Shaw Han and his role in the story. Yeah he's a more grounded character than Ms Time Travelling Robot, but that's kinda the whole point. He's supposed to be a basic character and friendly face to help introduce new players to the game. It's a job he does quite well. His basic characterisation as a simple fireteam leader who's a little bit too hard on himself for the deaths of his fireteam members is refreshing in the face of the more ambiguous characters like Eris. Just a friendly dude to work with against a threat that doesn't put the whole universe at stake. PLAY NEW LIGHT PEOPLE. IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD.
