Bungie just needs to snake a few of Bio's writers. Or Bethesda's. The gameplay in the beta was awesome, but the lore? Meh. Seemed a little half assed. You're creating a alien race and you opt to go with "wizards"? Cmon now. I don't care if it came from the Moon or the depths of the Crab nebula. Get that wizard out of my scifi. He can take his knights with him, too. I'm going to play this game til the wheels fall off, but using these played out, out of place tropes strikes me as lazy and made it hard to gin up the willing suspension of disbelief that's necessary for an immersive experience. Anyway, that's my two cents. </griping>
