How do I explain Destiny to my parents?
So my dad asked me one time what destiny was about...
I didn't really know the ENTIRE backstory that helps explain the rest of it, but I had a feeling that he wouldn't understand...
Could any of you give me a good summary of the game in case I ever get in that situation again?

13 RepliesYou play as a person or blue man or robot that gets resurrected by Peter Dinklage. You are then brought to the Tower, where Bill Nye tells you go on an alien genocide bc we got some beef with them. So you go to Soviet Russia and shoot the Covenant. Then, you have to go to the Moon cause you pissed off the Flood on Earth and woke them up. So you go to this giant anus on the moon and kill space zombies. Then, a hot robot lady tells you to go to Venus and fight Skynet rejects, cause they aren't good. You then talk to the descendants of the Blue Man Group in the asteroid belt. Their Big Booty Babe tells you to kill a Terminator on Venus so that you can kill all of the Skynet rejects. You then go to Mars and fight Fat Kids from space. Then, you walk into a parallel dimension and kill a zero-gravity grease puddle that the Skynet rejects worship. The End

24 RepliesQuote me: Destiny is a game set in the future where humanity is reduced to worshipping a false god shaped like a giant tennis ball that, like the "real" god, just sits there and doesn't actually help anyone. People kill each other in an arena to hone their skills, but that's ok because they all get jesus'd by these little offspring of the false tennis ball god called ghosts. When they're not killing each other, they venture out into the frontier on a holy crusade, slaughtering any other sentient beings they can find, including four armed refugees, overweight fast food customers from mars, malnourished ethiopians on the moon, and brain dead prosthetic people on venus. They do all this in the name of the speaker, a self proclaimed omnipotent politician who hears voices he believes to from the tennis ball god but are more likely a hallucinogenic reaction to huffing little blue balls of light. The speaker could tell us why we do the things we do, but he won't.

Ok here's the basics of the backstory. Sometime in the "present day" we discover a mysterious object on Mars, dubbed the Traveler, which allows unprecidented technological development, ushering what is referred to as the Golden Age. Some time later, agents of the Darkness invade the solar system and eventually force humanity back into one Last City underneath the Traveler, an event known as the Collapse. Centuries later, you are resurrected from the dead by a Ghost, allowing you to wield the Traveler's Light (also known as "Space Magic") as a weapon against the forces of Darkness still occupying the system. You are now a Guardian, and you can either face the Darkness alone, or team up with other Guardians to do it. You and your team are essentially the Tower's Delta, DEVGRU , or [insert elite spec-ops unit here], tasked with taking the fight to the enemy and taking down important targets. In simple terms, you're a space zombie wizard/paladin/generic outlaw archetype telling the bad guys to get off our lawn. Usually with a case of high-velocity lead poisoning to go with it. The ultraconservative right-wing militia wet dream.
