Guardians Divided
It would seem that we have a major division in our ranks. Many Guardians would like the universe of Destiny to have many more fantasy and RPG elements to it such as pets, mounts, marriage, and jobs. Other Guardians seem to want this game to be strictly sci-fi and kill people.
Well lets look at what we know...
1. Are there mounts? Yes (in a sense). Bungie has already confirmed these types of things in the form of "Pikes" and "Sparrows"
2. Are there Pets? Well, yes and i dont know. Everybody will have a Ghost and Bungie has alluded to customization and possibly assisted combat. Other than that, we arent sure. We have all seen the concept art with the "Space Tiger" but im not sure if that will be available to have or not.
3. Will there be jobs? Probably not in the sense of crafting and selling or a consistent job. "Jobs" will probably consist of small missions people can do to accumulate Glimmer (which seems to be the currency).
4. What about marriage? No idea, but probably not. That is definitely a VERY RPG element and i dont think Bungie will include that?
So what about you? Where do you stand in this Civil War? Are you for major RPG themes, or are you more for the Shooter element? Or maybe you are somewhere in between. You want a healthy balance of both.
Thoughts?

1 ReplyThe RPG elements that are important to me several of which are already in the game from the content I've seen are character customization, skill trees, a decent variety of equipment. It's also important to have that open world feel so you can take on a variety of missions / quests as you progress through the game. It's also important to include various competitive aspects in the game where players can work together either in party or against each other in PvP type zones which adds tremendously to the game's replay value and keeps the players engaged. On the Shooter side I want to have that rush of combat feel that you get in Halo with the cool variety of weapons and other abilities and have missions that put you in unique combat experiences and a good enemy AI that will give me a worthy challenge.
