First off, any Ninja or community manager reading this, if you would like me to take down my post, please message me and I will gladly do it. Who am I to argue? Hello. This is a post to clear lies. Mostly about bungie and money. All sources are accurate and 100% legitimate. The spoiler is the original story cut out from the game. [spoiler]So, the story is garbage. Why, you ask? Activision. They thought the story was too confusing so they broke it to keep Destiny's T rating. From what I have gathered, here is how it went: First of all, each race had a different storyline. Ours is originally the exo storyline. So, you were found on I think mars, and your ghost had a ship handy. So you flew to the Tower. Soon after doing deeds for the light, you were kidnapped by someone known as the crow. He and a group of ghostless guardians told you the traveler was evil. (Originally it was. The vex kept creating paradoxes to open portals to alternate dimensions with the traveler. Then they would screw up the civilization unlucky enough to be there. Time traveling dirtbags.) After you learned of this, you had to go to the reef for shelter. You were not allowed to go there until you escorted a wounded dreg to the reef. If you failed, the dregs would be executed. If you succeeded, the dreg would still be executed, but you were allowed access to the reef, which became the new social space. I'm not sure of exactly what stupid thing your guardian did, but you had to escape the reef, snd once you reached Earth, (out of the last city) you were shot down. The ship you see now was originally supposed to be yours. At the end of the story, you somehow saved the traveler (Alpha Lupi) And you got the crest of Alpha Lupi at the end. Then you confront the speaker, and he takes off his mask. Guess who? You. He was you, possibly from another timeline. That is all of the original story I know of. Message me if you know another part.[/spoiler] About the money part, Activision cut the game into DLCs for money, against what Bungie wanted. They also cut a lot of content. They also fired six of the original story writers, leading another one to quit. Here is a list of stuff originally in the game: Faction wars Six factions (now three) The ability to have a fire team with A I (the stranger, the vanguard, etc) Each vanguard gifted exotics after doing specific tasks. Zavala gave Gjallarhorn, Ikora gave Invective, and Cayde-6 gifted patience and time Khvostov 7G-02 was going to be the first stage of an exotic Auto Rifle called "Ancestor" it description was "A lost gun in a lost world. But thanks to you, it has reached the pinnacle of it's existence." One of it's perks was known as "Ancient Ally" which granted more super energy upon a kill and spawned an orb of light when scoring a precision kill. Another perk was known as "Vengeance." This perk increased weapon damage, at the cost of reload speed. Even though "Ancestor" was a futuristic version of Khvostov 7G-02, one of the sights for this gun was "The Broken Visor" which is the one we know today. Hard light was a gift from the reef Bad Juju was Void, The Last Word was Solar, and Hard Light was Arc The list will be extended within an hour or so. Edit: I am a good friend with someone who did something like a concept test. That is where this is from.
