I'm sure you've all heard this before, but one of the weakest parts about Destiny is its storyline. The expansions added some good plots, but the original story was never fully explained. I mean, who's the Exo Stranger? Who was she talking to? Those are the main ones, but also, where does the Traveler come from? And the darkness? All I'm saying is, when you're adding all these new stories in the Expansions, can you please also explain the original story? I don't want to have to wait nine more years until you finally reveal.
Sign below if you agree.
If you guys have any comments about this or other loose ends I didn't mention, post below.

Even Bungie doesn't know the full story. Ever since they cut up Joe Staten's complete polished story for this game, the "story" has been lost to the ether.

2 RepliesYou really have to look through the grimoire to get a better understanding. Even then there is a lot of questions still to be answered. I can try to explain some though. The Traveler has been around for a very long time, The Traveler once was at Fundement(hive world), and was at the Fallen home world as well before arriving in are solar system. When it arrived it brought about the Golden age for humanity. When the darkness arrived The Traveler tried to leave as it had been running from the darkness for a long time but Rasputin crippled the Traveler so that we could strand a fight against the darkness. Thus the darkness was pushed back and held off because of this. The Traveler created the ghost at this time to seek out those who could wield the power of the light to fight the darkness. This is were us Guardians come into play. Basically our job is to help the Traveler heal and do our best to keep the darkness away. The darkness is never really defined, it is referred to as a very powerful entity but no one knows exactly what it is. We start out by heading to the moon to fight the hive and claim the piece of the Traveler, in the process the exo stranger is watching us. It is believed she either traveled back in time, or is from a different timeline and traveled through more then likely the vex network to find someone who could destroy the vex. After seeing us fighting the hive and that we are succeeding she calls out to us to find her on Venus. This is when she warns us of the evil powers of the black heart. Basically the Vanilla story is us finding the black heart, finding a way to access it and destroying the black heart. At this time we do not know who the EXO stranger was talking to in that cut scene as well as we do not know the exact reason why she was so worried about the vex and black garden. The hive and fallen both followed the Traveler to earth, the hive took up resident on the moon as Crota's armies took over it. There is not to much back story on the fallen but to understand more about the hive and in particular Oryx(which I understand is not Vanilla) go and read the book of sorrows or watch a lore video about the book in youtube.

Edited by DrGR33NThUmb000: 5/10/2016 4:46:16 PMThis games direction is completely lost. I bought it for pve. I play Battlefield for pvp. Thankfully it looks like they have delivered again. Battlefield 1 is goin be epic. Destiny will be forgotten in my books by then. I barely play as is and used to really enjoy it. Im just so sick of getting used to something, just to have it made useless. That and seeing them waste such an awesome opportunity to make a game that could be so much better. It had potential, now its turning into a bad joke. Bungie suffered from this before and never learned.

TheShadowBungie is no more... - old
How can they add something they scrapped? This story has no sense of direction and never will. Winging shit never works... -
That's why they have grimoire. So you can understand. I personally think they just got lazy and the grimoire sucks anyways but that's where you'll find out

The stranger I'm sure is a time traveler just based on her lore , the original cutscene with astronauts on Mars shows the mountains and surfaces changing like different time periods , like it's happened over and over again , I find that interesting .. If they reveal that in the future it'd be super interesting

I would be very suprised if anyone at Bungie knows where they heading with the so called story and would be even more suprised if anyone knows about the "original" story.

I herd they are turning all the Grimoire cards into a novel, it's called "All The Stuff We Left Out Of The Game, A Story About A Story"

1 ReplyI don't have time to explain why I don't have time to explain. I could tell you of the Great War, but that's not in the budget.
