What I'd like to see from bungie story wise

The characters that they introduced in a previous season don't just completely disappear afterwards in the game. For example, mithrax literally disappeared after season 14. I don't have time to be up with all the latest lore, so it would be great for them just to have hints or something that they are still relevant. Like maybe a quest or some evidence that they are fighting the hive forces.

  • Tbh I am not invested at all in Destiny's story, and I likely won't be unless they move away from short lore snippets as the main storytelling device. Obviously this is just my opinion, but I think that the current lore snippet model is a huge step in the wrong direction in terms of using videogames as a storytelling medium because they detract from the main appeal of videogames, player agency and immersion. Videogames are very different than books or movies in that the player is able to act on their own will and is able to influence events (or at least operates under the illusion of it). For example, it is much more engaging to play a mission where you infiltrate the Dreadnought and kill Oryx than it would be to read "the guardian infiltrated the Dreadnought and killed Oryx," even though the story content is the same. This is a fundamental strength of the videogame medium, and I think Bungie uses it well in some cases, but the lore bits tend to undercut it in addition to hurting player immersion by switching between written lore and the visual storytelling of campaign cutscenes rather jarringly. Or maybe I just don't like the writing style of the lore bits yeah that's probably it.

      • It's the lore that is the FOUNDATION. You can say you want these characters to remain, but there is so much going on, we may need a lot more power than just a ps4-5...can't wait for that ps9 to come out (that old commercial that I can't find anymore). You may not have TIME, but it's there...you just think it is not due to focus (bet). Either way, few UNDERSTAND, what is going on truly...truly understanding EVOLUTION in thought...in what you think you know of EVERYTHING.

              • Mithrax is "buddy copped" up with Saint-14 right now, and assisting him in his search for Osiris. Also, Caiatl has been interacting with Zavala, Crow and Saladin in the lore. It's a shame that you don't have time to read the lore :-( I'll track down a few choice lore entries for you that have those cross seasonal tie-ins if you want. But you have to lmk if you're interested in them before I spend the time doing so. Take care.
