It is a great game. It is a beautiful game. I do thank bungie for bringing us this game. I've had loads of fun with it. But I've looked at the tower. Fxck the tower. I looked it over in year one, when they first told us it was a ten year experience, and I went and looked at all of the doors and seemingly expansive areas that would one day house new vendors and quest tables. I thought "man, one day this big courtyard in here will be full of NPC's when the future DLC's get here! Imagine how many doors will open up into new rooms or areas!" And none of that shit happened. The queen's emissary showed up like once in the courtyard. Then she couldn't be bothered returning. Saladin showed up too, about once a month or so. When he left, one of the frames locked the stupid door at the top of the stairs and was like "Oh, no... no there isn't anything else to see up here." Now Saladin doesn't even visit anymore, and the courtyard is open so we can enjoy its emptiness. Now we can take in all those little places where they could have put kiosks or vendors but didn't. Then Eris got here. I was like, "Oh shit! She'll probably have her own dark little room or something! And I'll walk in and she'll be studying some hive husks and walking around talking to herself!" Nope. She tied her ship to the railing and stood in the weirdest possible spot. Then Oryx came and they moved her... to her own room? No. To the bottom of the fxcking stairs so that even after you've murdered Oryx and Crota a million times over she can still mutter "Something, Something, something, dark side" as you walk by. None of the NPC's have moved from their places. For a guy named "the Speaker" he sure hasn't said one single meaningful thing to us this entire time. Xur is the only one that changes position, and that's actually in a way that's more annoying than anything. Been the same dumbass puddle since the first time I sat in it. And yes, I look longingly off at the Last City, remembering all those times I read articles about Destiny, thinking how amazing it would be to walk those streets and gaze up at the huge traveler overhead. Nope. Instead, I just stare at it, also wondering if they built the other towers where you could only walk on the top floor like this one. Then came the reef. And I was all like, ooh! Sweet. I'll get to check out like, how the Awoken live, and walk around the Queen's throne room and stuff! Only for Petra to be like "No, dumbass. The social space is just this one little insignificant hangar right here. Sure there's another huge door over there, guarded by my people. Looks like it might open one day right? But you thought that about your tower and how did that go? Oh, and this guy Xur has been showing up? Said something about how it'd piss you off that you'll have to endure more loading screens to find him now that he can be at another social space". Then the iron temple came. By this time, I just accepted that social spaces were just places where you look over the edge and dream of what social spaces coulda been like. If you stand on top of Felwinter's Peak, and squint really hard? You can see some of these lights from these little towns just below. These are the lights of the small villages in the Witcher 3, each of which has more interesting shit to see and do than the three Destiny social spaces combined. Cheers. Here's to hoping Bungie learns what quest hubs are before D2.

Sometimes, I like to stand at the edge of the balconies and railings, and just appreciate the background, the city below the tower, and of course, the skies around the Traveler. But then, I just get a bit sad, because I'll wanna go down into that city, but I can't :(

10 minutes at the tower? LOL been playing this game since the beta I do not need to see the tower and btw what's a traveler? Sorry bungie didn't give me a story to know who's who in this pvp game
