Why is the dialog in the Reef the same if you're an Awoken or human or Exo? Seriously missed opportunity for interest/acting/subtext/layers/intrigue/emotion/making choices/anything-at-all.
Wouldn't an Awoken either know, or ask his/her ghost a more knowing question than "How did the Awoken survive?" or where the reef came from, or anything? the same as an exo or human would?
Wouldn't the Awoken queen act differently to a fellow Awoken? If she didn't, wouldn't an Awoken Guardian respond to *that*? Wouldn't the queen's brother say something like *you may look like us, but don't let that fool you. You're in the wrong place, otherworlder." Where's the nuance in this scene?
If I understand correctly, a lot of people fled Earth during the Collapse. Most died, but some of them were changed by some event, and became the Awoken, and they survived out there between light and dark.
And somehow the Awoken you play got back to Earth, died and then was revived without any understanding of what Awoken are, what even created the reef, or anything. And even asks the question as if it all happened while he/she was dead.
When people talk about story, I think it's these kind of scenes they're talking about. It HAS a story... it's just not told very well.

Question to Grimoire fans: What if the queen was *more* hostile to earthborn Awoken? Wouldn't that be a more interesting choice? I mean, when people say the story of Destiny feels "flat" or "unengaging" or "emotionless"... It's these moments I'm talking about, where moments of dramatic opportunity just sail past. It's kind of indicitive of how *every* character in Destiny treats my character. All of them talk to me with neither fondness nor hostility... like we live in a world entirely made up of IRS agents and DMV employees. The queen couldn't even bother to figure out my gender, let alone my race!
