Will my character have a story at all in Destiny 2?
I just finished watching the IGN first segment on the story of Destiny 2, and it sounds like it's much more solid than destiny 1, but there was a major red-flag that popped up for me throughout it... They never mention our own guardian's story or journey. They only talk about watching Zavala's story unfold or Ikora's story unfold - they never say anything about our own character and his/her story. So it makes me worried - are we going to have a story, a personality, a character behind our guardian? Or are we a glorified cameraman with a monotone "Tell me more about the reapers" attitude, while the ghost gets all the characterization? I'm not expecting an answer, but one would certainly be appreciated. I love destiny, and i want to see it improve, so that is why I'm being critical of this information... I want to feel my guardian go through a journey. We never got that feeling in destiny 1 because nothing was ever.. well... explained. It sounds like they have fixed that in Destiny 2 - but for all the secondary characters... not for your own.

7 RespuestasAnd you probably won't because your character is supposed to represent [i]you.[/i] The game is guiding [i]you[/i] through this journey, not the character we play as such as Master Chief or Cmdr Shepard.

I feel you, that moment you realize TTK and RoI, hell, even AoT - Basically did jack except spout ghost expositon and make you think your guardian is nothing more than a glorified shell of a person with no actual personality or story to them. The people saying our guardian is supposed to represent us as the player, sure, anyone can say that and would make sense. But saying we ARE that guardian? No, then they're just retarded, this isn't one of Nintendo's games imfamous for making main characters in a built world be blank slates to personify ourselves in. Despite the details, ultimately our guardian is a character we build and put into the world of the game, so why wouldn't we get a personal story? Like say if we were all in character creator, besides all the obvious Bungie needs to impliment in this creator: Height, body, weight,more facial and hairstyle options in general, and age. Why can't they impliment a personality selection along with that? All in all, I get exactly what you're talking about, this isn't the only concern you should be having regarding the possible issues in Destiny 2.

1 RespuestaDarkside Royalty Lore summed up my thoughts perfectly with this vid he done. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t43Y8xA5J3g[/url]

1 RespuestaYour guardian is you. Giving the PC a story is even more distracting.
-
5 RespuestasYou have no memory of your previous life when ghost brought you back. If you have no memory, you can't have a back story. Only a future story you develop as you go.

You're a soldier, that's all you need to know. And there's no time to explain why there's no time to explain.

I am type of a guy who likes stories in games and the character building. In destiny 1, there was nothing to mention but what locked me in destiny for a long time was the gunplay and raids. I wish we have a story of our own guardian but i doubt it. Anyway, i play destiny because of its guns and gunplay. Story would be an added bonus i would say
-
much like in Destiny 1, to quote the speaker " I could tell of the epic battles" but most likely they probably won't
-
I hope we can at least talk this time around. I know this is a stretch, but at least add some dialogue options for us to use. Something like a serious, light hearted, or casual response that we could choose from. They don't even need to be leading to a different response from a character, just add some diversity in how you speak.
-
Don't care, can't play a story.
-
3 RespuestasNope, it's gonna be the same story as D1, you wake up, Zavala tells you to shoot stuff and you do it, end of story
-
I am hoping for this too. I am also hoping my character speaks for himself more often instead of leaving all of my dialogue to the ghost. My character hasn't said a word since he got a gun from the stranger.

I had the same feeling watching the latest reveal.
