WTF is with the story?????
Is it just me or is the story in this game very weak? Yes I understand it will be built upon in future DLCs and Destiny 2 but why on earth couldnt things be clarified that are already present? For example, who exactly is the stranger? So shes not a guardian, great, so? Lol. And who was she talking to after that first mission on mars, what happened to them? If the cabal couldnt break into Rasputin because "he's everywhere" - so what? When ghost says in the final mission that everything makes sense now, well... What makes effin sense???? And why are all the alien races fighting between each other.
Yeah, not everyone cares about the story in a game but I do, especially if its one where I put in an immense amount of time and effort. Please devote more time to this element in the future! I want to understand what my character is involved in and why

1 ReplyAlthough I do agree to an extent in terms of the story, I think it's the delivery that is lacking. Two things though: 1. I believe there is a lot of intentional ambiguity within the story. A lot is left unexplained or unsaid. I have likened this to the first chapter of a book... The first chapter sets the scene, introduces main characters, gives a hint as to the overarching narrative perhaps. It does not give you the full story. This is a game with a 10 year plan, lest we forget. We just read the first chapter. 2. The story, each and every mission, needs to make sense in terms of structure to a fire team as well as an individual... This is why they are so similar in terms of construct, go here, defend this, activate this and so forth. I think this set up is quite jarring and doesn't allow the delivery of story in any meaningful way. Cut scenes are also kept to a minimum, again because three people don't want to sit through reams of video. I still think the delivery is weak. The Grimoire is a great idea, but is relied on too heavily. We all know Destiny isn't perfect in this respect, far from it.
