Yeah, I was little bit upset that Bungie, and the people in the tower aren't making a bigger deal about this. It always used to bother me how lifeless the tower in D1 & D2 was. The only people you can interact with are vendors who give you bounties. For all its immaculate world building ( the grimoire ), Destiny isn't very subtle at reminding the player that they are playing a video game, because its NPC's don't feel like real people. Last year I started playing Genshin Impact, and NPC's in that game feel more 3 Dimensional. They have specific jobs, crushes, prejudices, and personality quirks. They gossip about shit, and they react to changes in the world.
