Official Feedback on The Taken King - The Story
The one about the story.
Better story has been a big request from the community since Destiny first launched last year. Many of you have gotten through the initial story missions. There are still some untold elements in the end game, but what are your thoughts on the story so far. What do you like, what do you dislike? What do you think about the characters, are they more interesting than in the past? Did you enjoy the new cut scenes? Let us know what you think.

I enjoyed the story much more with the added cutscenes and interaction. As mentioned by others I would love some interactive grimoire somewhere while we are going. The missions were definitely better especially regicide. Lots of previews of the raid in the Crota mission as well as really enjoyed the taken. Not in story but the taken champions on patrol are cool as well.

There's a story now. Cool. Our guardians actually seem significant now. Cool. But how come we never say anything or have any opinions or anything haha. Ghost does all the talking...

Edited by PlutoIsAPlanet: 9/27/2015 4:51:31 PMBetter story, lacks depth though. I still ask many questions yet unanswered, quests definitely needs more depth, instead of shooting stuff add more interactions. If the game is gonna have grimoire that are x2 better than what's on the screen why not have audio logs, the ghost scan is a step foward. Now have a menu category, where you could hear the lore while you play or in orbit (Look at MGS V). More cutscences, you guys went all out in the beginning but lost that momentum in the end. In-game characters, they could be randomly encountered NPCs that could trade with you during patrol, help you during patrol, share there stories, or even give off exclusive quests called "Favors". This could bring more life for the game and at least show that the Tower is serious about defending there city. (I know this isn't entirely story feedback but at least it will support more in the lore, and back story of the game) More characters in the cast, and better character development. I love Cayde-6 and Eris Morn but I know the Vanguard could bring more likeable characters. Also PLEASE have interactions as simple of 2 options a talk, and buy option. I don't want EVERYONE to be vendors you know. Voice for Guardians. I just see them as dolls. [b]HAVE TIME TO EXPLAIN[/b]. Who the hell is Cayde-6 and Eris Morn? WHO IS KABR AND PRAEDYTH??? Why is the Darkness is so attracted to the Traveler? Who's the Traveler???? Xur and his crew? Stranger?? Why did I kill Atheon? Where did the Vex come from?? (*cough* it's in the grimoire it's not in the game) Who's the Awoken and why did they fight against Oryx?? How did Oryx came and know about his sons death? You get me. [spoiler]Also think what Bioware would do with all the lore Destiny haves. Giving off a hint.[/spoiler]

The story has had a drastic improvement. Now add more (like right now plz) and keep that level of story coming and better in all future dlc and sequels. More character interaction, and maybe some more lines coming from our guardian.

Cozmo Totally off topic questions but I would really and truly appreciate answers please So when will the next dlc launch? Also will it lock you out of ttk content unless you purchase it?? Will it require all prior dlc be purchased like ttk has? Will there be a bundle deal for it and ttk ? Or will it take about a year later and include ttk with 2other dlc? I'm asking because I genuinely feel it will be more worth my money and time to wait till the next dlc and pick up ttk with it I'm really just hoping to get some answers so I can choose the best decision and course of action to take Any answers you can provide would be appreciated thank you cozmo

Alot better than the original story but can still use some more work. More dialogue , more cut scenes
-
It blows
-
The story is a lot better than before because it has meaning now. Its still not mind-blowing, but it is better.
-
Story was definitely better, could've gone a little more in depth with the Queen and her brother, that part felt rushed. Cayde was hilarious, needs to be MORE of that as it was truly entertaining. Overall great improvement, keep at, give a little more depth, and keep us smiling with character dialogue like u did with cayde. Good job

5 RepliesTTK story is better but still fails to answer many questions. In fact, it didn't answer anything from the beginning of the game and the initial cut scene leads only to speculation. Cayde is the primary reason I enjoyed the story. "Eris, get your rock...off my map." Best line. But the ghost fails to really tell us much, he simply talks more. He even states that as an entity, who was able to resurrect us from death, that he sucks at math. I get the attempted joke but it diminished the value of NoNo Bot. Why does the Queen fight oryx and seemingly sacrifice herself? What led to the decision? I saw the grimoire on the Prince... Why is none of that made into a cinematic cut scene. I stand by the notion that every grimoire card should be in an accessible library in game that has cut scenes to show us the "rich cinematic story telling" we were promised. Overall, the storytelling is still below subpar. Even all these side story missions from quests fail to delve into any real information. [b]i would sit there and watch grimoire after grimoire to learn the story, even if all the cards took me 3 hours to watch.[/b] [i]add them into the game[/i]

The story is ok. But still, way too damn short!! All the little stuff is fine, but in truth it's just repetitive farming. I really thought Bungie was going to give us an extensive story line. Or at least that is the impression left me with. It's pretty sad that An individual can run three different characters through the main story line in less than a day :(
-
The interactions with Cayde are my favorite.
-
Needs more guardian facial hair.

1 ReplyIt started out strong and before we knew there weren't anymore cutscenes just flying through space reading subtitles. Seemed unfinished. Where's the queen and where's the crow. Where's the stranger. It was entertaining initially and I had great laughs and enjoyed it plenty, but fell back into the routine before I realized it

Compared to what exactly

I enjoyed reading the grimior cards they seem more interesting, now hopefully a lot of those gets put into a quest in the future. I would like to know more story to some of them. So far the new quest are more engaging and flows better. Year one story mission felt like everything was all over the place, you start off with fallen yet the story about the fallen never finished next thing you know your introduce to the hive. I'm enjoying year 2 of destiny so far and felt like this should have been what year 1 should have been like. Love the quest system some of them may never be completed though, because the lack of matchmaking. Some quest are hard and very though and some people may never be able to complete them, example the kings fall quest for eris without matchmaking one could never be able to complete that. I have friends to play raid with so I'm just speaking on behalf of those who's doesnt. There should have been an super easy raid with match making with out top tier rewards for those who just needs to complete the eris quest.

8 RepliesGood to see you let Captain Mal be Captain Mal. I honestly didn't even know Nathan Fillion was in destiny. Now give us some more. Give us the rest of the story that we're missing. Tell us more (in game) about the traveller, about WHAT the darkness is. The book of sorrows touched on the origins of the vex but I want to know more about them.
-
It sucks!!!!! Why don't you asshats change the name to hype train to grindtown, bc that's what it feels like, same repetitive shit, I don't see how anyone can be happy with this game, it is a literal joke.
-
I read the Grimoire on the Taken. Holy crap, it is unnerving. They behave almost like the Flood from Halo. I've also unlocked one of the Books of Sorrow, and the little insight into the Hive origin has whetted my desire to learn more about them. Might I recommend a Grimoire kiosk near the Speaker so we can see this stuff in game (and to stop my fiance from saying they explain nothing)?

Edited by ShoimiFang: 9/21/2015 7:06:45 PMloved it not going to lie but sadly the its just a bandage on the game. THe core of the game is now pointless to play the entire story leading up to TTK is a joke in comparsion. you should have really rewrote the entire storyline but instead you just made it pointless to experience. and we STILL no NOTHING about the traveler other then well.....we dont even have time to explain while we dont have time.

1 ReplyEdited by Bradw317: 9/21/2015 4:50:48 PMMy only real complaint is your guardian became a silent protagonist in this expansion name one word he or she spoke in it at all, mostly it was Zavala, Eris, Cayde, Ikora, or your ghost. After watching the live action trailer's, I really feel the guardian should had responses to things the NPC's said. Granted I did my own comments for my guardian, but a lot of people don't and would be nice to hear.

House of wolves was great. This one was even better! Humor is key. Don't be afraid to make fun of the cheesy seriousness.

The story was amazing to say the least, it makes Destiny feel like a new game. Okay now my review 1. First thing I noticed was in Phobos you get to actually see cabal get taken by the taken and lose the battle. I love a lot of the scenes I've seen including 2 centurions cabals in a elevator and it collapsed... It just makes it feel like tragedy everywhere. 2. The new sub classes missions is awesome, I love that they all have their own destiny to obtain this subclass. Btw Warlock's story subclass is epic! 3. The taken is a new enemy race and they're are epic, I must say some are annoying then others but the fact that they have abilities like ward of dawn, duplicate into 2 or summon acolytes eye makes this race just difficult and fun to fight. 4. The vault of glass story mission was a lot of fun but what tops the cake is crotas end while being invisible. That's just a whole new level of awesome and different, and I like different! 5. The leveling system is amazing IMO! I've played for 3 days straight and I'm light level 297 highest... That's just crazy haha but I love it. I love the new exotics and the sounds of omolon scout rifles. This new DLC is nothing but amazing. GRADE: A+ I'm not the generous type to just give you a high grade but I've been more addicted to Destiny than any game I've ever encountered. The story is different and makes Destiny feel fresh, the towers changes is good and the legendary marks makes you grind the game in a fun way. Thank you Bungie!

Edited by firerwolf: 9/21/2015 7:09:55 PMLoved the deeper story and expanded interactions of the NPCs. It reminds me again of Halo which I loved. The story in the game has good characters and depth and if you're really interested there's outside material to read with more depth that is outside the story. Could only be improved with a book series. Though I am a bit unsure about some of the references made. If you didn't play HoW or Dark Balow does your ghost still mention killing Crota and beating Skolas? Cause if it does that's lame. It should reference much better guardians, legends, doing those activities and hopes that one day you'll be as good as those legends.

Definate improvements to story and story telling. I enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next chapter of the Destiny saga. Constructive criticism/ feedback. 1. Please include guardian dialog in the next chapter cinematics. I felt like Silent Bob to my Ghost's Jay. 2. I really would have liked one more mission on the subclass quest. Two was just too short. A beginning, middle and end to the story would have been better in my opinion. Other than that... Hats off to yo all!

1 ReplyI haven't finished the story yet, but a couple things jump out at me. 1. There was more emotion in the opening scene for ttk than most, if not all, of the year one content. And the cut scenes really help with the flow and actually fit with what is taking place. 2. A couple of mission I thought were short, but then the game was like, "no, fight your way out". I appreciate that. As someone already mentioned, the speakers roles should be revised, becuase well, he doesn't do much speaking. I'll come back when I've finished the story.
