Man vs. Nature - Destiny

Well, I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but here goes: During my time here at Bungie.net, I've heard words tossed around. Certain ones, namely : reactive, breathing, alive, and changing; all of these words pertaining to one thing: Destiny. In order to truly make a game that is a living and changing environment, wouldn't it make sense to include a weather system? For example: You are on a rainy slope, you obviously do not have as much traction or control as you'd like. What if your character reacted to the rain? I mean, maybe an occasional slip? If you can climb or something in Destiny, what if you just slip more often depending upon weather conditions? This is all purely conjecture, mind you. Can you see environments being created and destroyed? For example, a tornado rolls by a small village. The village is devastated and needs rehabilitation. Things like that, that's what I'm talking about! Bottom line: Do you think that we will see changes in weather (i.e. Tornados, Thunderstorms, Wildfires), and their effect on the world around them? What do you guys think?

  • I'd like to see the environment/weather truly have an impact or story and game play. I think after being abandoned for so long, Earth would have seen some major catastrophic events. These events could have resulted in things like the sea levels raising, putting many cities underwater, certain regions being launched into their own ice ages, while other places could have absolutely no Ozone above them, creating a different type of danger. I'd like to see certain places where it gets so cold you have to find places to take shelter from the cold and warm up, while others could have UV rays so hot shining between clouds of ash that it can burn anyone the light touches. Other places could be plagued by severe thunderstorms, random bouts of Acid Rain and some places could be unsafe due to giant hail and razor sharp ice crystals falling from the sky. Just types of environments that sometimes force you to think about how you're going to get from Point A to Point B.
