I agree with this 100%! To me, it felt like a lot of story was taken out for the beta. Things like your vanguard representative assigning you quests were taken out and replaced by ghost's narrations (that's my hope, anyway). I'm sure there will be more cutscenes, or that the ones we saw will be longer. The speaker's "i could tell you about x" may well be replaced by him actually telling you about those things. [b]A story's beginning is extremely important.[/b] And the story we got in the beta may be nothing like the finished story.
