As Angry Joe pointed out, one of the downsides to Destiny is that the ghost's sole function is to unlock doors. Unfortunately, your ghost is your only source of information in the game. Although the "Grimoire" and Bungie.net is filled with extensive entries on just about everything you can think of in the game, the problem is that none of it is actually in the game. Joe made a great point stating it would be great if all of it were in the game so that players will begin to care about what they are actually doing in the game and find a sense of purpose. "Players should not have to leave the game in order to understand what is going on." --Angry Joe [b]Ideas for Ghost Functions[/b] Below is a list of ideas I thought of for Ghosts. If you have any other ideas for Ghosts you would like to share, please comment below and share. [b]Ghost Perks[/b]: What if you could add perks to your Ghost. By default, your ghost can be a scanner, opening doors and scanning environments. What if you could level up your Ghost? What if your Ghost can be used to scout forward areas, checking ahead for enemies and provide their information and show their stats. Enemy locations could then be noted somehow by markers. Instead of just showing markers, what if Ghosts could map out paths to the objectives for players. What if players could add weapons to their Ghost to spawn when battles get heated. Having a robot sidekick could be very handy. [b]Ghost Customization[/b]: What if players could customize their Ghost? Provide players the option to change the look and voice of their Ghost. Give players the ability to add different skins to their Ghost. As you level up your Ghost, you can change the model of your Ghost. Why should every Ghost look alike? What if player's could give their Ghost personalities? Ghost could be funny and provide a sense of humor in the game. They could be either fully honest or not so honest and depending on their settings. This then results in the type of information players get provided. [b]Ghost Patrol[/b]: What if players could send their Ghost out on a minor mission like mining for resources. There could be a drawback to this such as your Ghost takes damage and players have to go summon him. This could lead to gameplay that feels less repetitive.
