The biggest treat in the destiny universe and no one dies is kinda lame. Yes Cade dies but he was already dead so it really doesn't count. The story was good but the impact of losing multiple characters would have make it alot more meaningful.
Characters that could've die
Ikora, she has little to no story in the game up to the point and is kinda boring imo.
Osiris, he lost his light and could of had an emotional story arc between him and Saint.
Petra, were was she didn't see her once.
Anna/Elizabeth, either one could had sacrifice there self for the other but they just show up in a cutscene.
Mithrax, could have die and his daughter takeover house of light.
Vavala, hard choice but it would make sense he loses his light and misses his family, could have make the ultimate sacrifice to save the galaxy and went on to be with said family.
Just to name a few they didn't have to all die just some. Imo i think it would have made the Witness that much more imposing, and the scope of lose that much more impactful.

They are just setting us up before killing of all the major characters in the most surprising twist ever.

3 RisposteIt would’ve been amazing if Salvation’s Edge was so hard that no one cleared it and they had a sweet cutscene of the Witness enacting the final shape and after the game just went blank and said “The End.” 😂
-
Should have had higher stakes, you mean? Yeah I agree.
-
Have. Should have.

1 RispondiHilarious that you think A. The company that made failsafe and Cayde would care about a serious narrative. B. Or that said would company would ever kill off an agenda character like Saint or Osiris
-
1 RispondiOr Nimbus... [spoiler]Because I deserve SOMETHING today[/spoiler]
-
1 RispondiThe Final Shape should have come with some steaks.
-
2 RisposteImposing? lol We see it dissect and freeze not just the planet but existence and the Traveler manages to resist for a little while but would've been corrupted in a matter of days. Killing a few extra bros isn't on that level of reality manipulation and genocide lol

18 RisposteBrother. Targe literally sacrificed himself to save zavala.
-
2 RisposteSpoliers. Technically both Targe and our Ghost died, although one was resurrected. But perhaps they should have saved Amanda Holliday's passing for this campaign instead of part of a season last expansion. It could have had a bit more impact.
-
For the sake of keeping the cash flowing, this is how it’ll be
-
Zavala should have died with Lance.
-
I was honestly fully prepared for Zavala to die after losing his light. But he didn’t so what exactly are the big parts of the campaign? Like the Witness dies, that’s it. We get that much out of a single raid or dungeon, a big baddy dying. A campaign with as much riding on the narrative as this one should have included the death of a big character. Crow, Eris, Zavala, Osiris, Ikora, Mithrax, Eramis, Savathun. Maybe even a combination. Like to help us get to the Witness, Savathun, Eris, and that Hive witch that helped us that one mission all work together and collectively die. Idk, something big.

I thought the same thing. Game should feel different in some way (post campaign), but it’s more like business as usual. https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/264086892/0/0
