Final Word on Destiny's Story for Year 1 - Your Thoughts
Hi everyone,
Since more news and info is coming out on TTK and wrapping up year 1, i for one am starting to make the transition of beginning to leave the yr1 grind/experience behind. But still dont kno wtf to make of the story and grimoire...except for the suspicion that the Vex's time manipulation may b linked to Earth's golden age rise and collapse...and that not all of Earth's inhabitants (and beyond) r fond of the Traveler.
Im sure most of us read the posts and watched the videos on various speculations regarding what happened internally at Bungie prior to launch. Do u think there indeed was a greater/different story and experience and what we had initially was a shoddy one? Or do u think what we had upon realease was actually no story at all but the unfortunate aftermath of something that went wrong?
In short, how do u feel about yr1's story - was it a flawed one or not a even a story but the leftover fragments of something that once existed?
I personally dont kno what to believe but do hope the experience is improved in the years to come.

1 ReplyEdited by Darth CPA: 8/6/2015 1:43:56 PMMy guess is there was a story there, and it was cut-out, but for one of two reasons: 1. The story that was rumored to be there, was supposedly to show the Traveler and Speaker be actually evil and the cause of the collapse, and that the crow (which became the queen's brother) was the leader of a faction of guardians who abandoned the traveler. Prior to launch they could have realized that if this is a 10 year game, it is too early in the series to drop things like this into the story. They could have thought to find out in game 1 you were actually fighting for the evil side was too soon to drop that, and might be a better twist down the road. So they ended up having to scramble to put something story-wise in there to make up for the removed content. That story could end up being brought into future games. 2. The original writer of the story left about a year prior to release. He could of had rights to the story in his contract, so when he left so did the story. Bungie was then stuck trying to just get something in there to get the game released in time for the funding deadline by Activision. A year is not enough time to write, voice act, animate, and code a very detailed story. Either way I don't think the story we got is what they wanted to give us. I think they are going to be improving the story going forward hugely.
