Destiny got butchered during development. Activision to blame?

Did Activision or some other corporate entity make you chop up your game that was supposed to be your vision? I know your games have always had a really deep and compelling storyline and that leads me to ask the question why Destiny has such an extreme lack of a story or any character development. You have such an extensive Grimoire and yet none of it is encaptured in the game? So many opportunities to create a new universe the way you saw fit and now you have countless numbers of dissatisfied long time fans scratching their heads and shrugging their shoulders. The purpose of DLC is to expand on a already structured story that is unique in itself. DLC IS NOT supposed to be used to finish the first chapter of a game that barely had an introduction. I played through the story and at the end i was very underwhelmed on in game content. I have patrolled all of the locations available and found at least 5 locations on that are developed and ready to explore yet blocked off by barriers or invisible walls. My only guess is that you had a solid story and you planned to implement all of these locations into the story on day one, but someone came along and made you butcher your game and come up with something on the fly and hence Destiny was released, but not as intended. Things you need to improve on if you intend on making your game better, from a gamers perspective; 1. Make the players gaurdian have some significance. By this i mean that during the story it is stated that i am one of many gaurdians. What makes my gaurdian so special that i am the protagonist? 2. Unique patrol missions something that requires you to think not the same 4 mission types just on different planets. Challenge us! 3. Development of lore (in game) Have some clues in game scattered about in missions that could activate cutscenes during play which give depth into the games supporting characters or protagonists. Explain what are the motives of the Vex, Fallen, and Cabal. Where are they from? What do they all want? Who is the queen? Who are the exos? Who are the awoken? Motives! Directive! Plot! Suspense! These are all missing from your game Bungie! The Queen's Wrath? C'mon! You had so much oppurtunity to create a new hub within the reef or an oppurtunity to extend the Destiny storyline, an oppurtunity to impress your fanbase to give us hope! All the queen's wrath is replay story missions for rep!? I am not expecting an apology for your actions just merely an explanation on what went wrong? You said Destiny is to unfold the next 10 years? In that case why didn't you just wait 10 years later to release a complete game? TL;DR [spoiler]Bungie was making great content before getting into bed with Activision. Should buy the game 10 years later when it is complete [/spoiler]
