The fact that this person was saying there were supposed to be different arcs for each race might be discrediting. As far as I know they said from the start that they wanted the races to be cosmetic and not affect anything you experienced down the road.

Obviously I have no inside information one way or the other, but the fact that you have to create a character for each race to unlock that race's Grimoire card could point to unique story arcs for each race. At least, I think that's right. I've made an exo and an awoken and I have their respective main cards, but no human card (except for the Human Fragment 2 from one of the dead ghosts I found).

But there's Grimoire cards for everything.

Yeah, I could be totally off-base here. Maybe they always intended that you unlock a race's specific card by creating a character of that race and there was no reason beyond your getting that card because it now pertains to you. I don't have the human race card and I assume that's because I haven't created a human character. However, I do have the Warlock class card unlocked despite the fact that I've never created a Warlock character. This could indicate that class selection was never intended to play a part in the story experience but race was, justifying why you unlock a race's card by creating a character of that race. Again, I don't know for sure and I'm not stating any of this as fact; it's just something I noticed.

I thought they just meant no stat differences, no power differences. Backstory/cutscenes could be different in this regard with no affect on gameplay.
-
I think withholding story if you don't play a race counts as more than cosmetic.

"Withholding" :| Different opening stories are for explaining about your race. This is normal for all MMO's/other-games-that-use-multiple-races, so it only makes sense they'd have it in destiny. People wonder why there isn't any info on the races in the game; the lack of different openings is telling to me.

Normal for MMOs, which Bungie never defined Destiny as, in which race affected much more than just how you look. [i]Do I think that Destiny's story (in this first installment) lived up to its potential[/i]? No. [i]Do I think that Bungie pulled the rug out from under us and we received a vastly different game than was originally intended or we were led to believe?[/i] Still no. That's the bottom line for me.
