I liked the cut scenes also, but we didn't get a story to match them (or enough of them really). We knew Oryx came to get us because we killed crota, which was covered in a 30 second commercial, but that's about it. We don't know: What the traveler is Why crota wanted to beat the traveler What the motivation of the other species are Where the hive home planet is Was oryx really the king of all hive or just a higher up? Info on eriana and what happened before Why are we fighting? Are there other human settlements where survivors live or are we fighting to save a handful of npcs and 12 guardians in the tower? How did we die? Who are we? There's so much that the story could be, but it was a letdown. The few cutscenes were cool, but they didnt give us any more information than was released in the taken king commercials. Oryx was supposed to be this amazing enemy but did he have any real or significant dialogue? The new missions were cool, but there weren't enough of them and now the game is a grindfest for gear that isn't as cool as year one exotics were, especially without any good story to help motivate us to actually grind. These guys made halo! They tried to do something different here in Destiny but I can't help but feel they threw the baby out with the bathwater and are failing at really meeting the potential that's here. The raid definitely was amazing, a great addition, but could use better rewards.

Read the Grimoire lore. Will answer most, if not all of your questions.

It should be in the game, not in cryptic and often poorly written text on a phone app. It being shown in cut scenes would really fill out the story of the game and give note players an idea why they're grinding so incessantly.

Should be, shouldn't be, meh. Point is, the answers you seek are provided.

They aren't provided in the game I play is the point. If the next halo story sucked, it wouldn't be an excuse for me to say to you "your answers are in the books". It should be in the game.

Chill out bro. I was just trying to help answer your questions, not start an argument about game design.

This expac was focused on and centered on oryx attacking us. We learned that he is the self proclaimed king and that he takes races to build his army....we are fighting him because we killed his son. Really not a whole lot to cover. The new story is a step in the right direction. I expect to learn more about the traveller in destiny 2 or god willing in some form of dlc in the upcoming year. I agree they need to at least attempt linear story telling because they are all over the place atm. Alos moldering shards can fűck off....and gear should not drop at a lower value than what your current LL is.
