For the story inclined of us, are you satisfied with the promises for better story and characters in TTK?
For those of us who feel the storyline and plot of Destiny fell miserably short of their expectations, are you satisfied with the current press releases pertaining to the overhauled method and delivery of the new story? If so, why? If not, why not?
This is being billed as a full on expansion, not just DLC. How many new missions do you feel there should be?
Finally, were you satisfied with the cast of characters from the original game(launch. DLC can be discussed here as well though)?
Or maybe you feel like the story doesn't matter. Feel free to comment on that as well.
Thanks for your time. Just curious on the community's feelings about the story.

5 RepliesTo answer the OP: 1) Storyline/Plot - I look at this in both a pessimistic and optimistic view. The optimist in me hopes that the way the story is told feels natural and done in a progressive manner in such a way that it helps answer questions about the Universe we're in. The original "story" and all of the grimoire tell a story, but I'm not sure it tells it well at all. The pessimist in me sees this as a potential failure given the current track record in story telling past. However, I'm more optimist than pessimist and I hope that the way the story is delivered that it will help answer questions we've all sought answers to. 2) Missions - Original game had 20 story missions. There were only 7 story missions between the last two DLCs. I'm hoping for a minimum of 10 new story missions for TTK. 3) Cast of Characters - There was nothing that stood out to me about any of the characters except the Stranger since she was integral to what was going on; Eris who was the same for her part (and her fanatical ideals); Petra for her guidance. However, NONE of them gave us anything other than more questions. A lot more "why" questions stemming from things they have said. 4) Story - I've read all the grimoire I could. I've read dialogues from the game and tried to weave what understanding I could from it. There is a story there. Connecting the dots in your own brain though, leads to assumptions. Those assumptions, regardless if they are right or not, can only live in my mind as to how I see the story unfolding. So in a nutshell, I'm satisfied with my understanding of the story they have given us, but not satisfied with it because of all of the questions that it has left me with. /soap box I like the game. It's visceral enough to keep me happy shooting things that are shooting back at me. I have taken breaks when I felt the need to, and come back when I felt the need to. I will be buying the new DLC. I'll play it. I'll put the game on the shelf when I've done "everything" I want to do, and play other games when I don't want to be here. /soap box OMY
