I just want the feeling of mystery and discovery to return to the game. Deep and dark lore i agree with too.

I think it's more about consistency. They introduce characters, and then do nothing with them. Where the -blam!- is Shiro? The most I've heard is a line from Cayde about how we wouldn't believe what he's gotten up to. What is Sloan's actual purpose? It was literally like they just needed an NPC for Titan. What is up with these new Iron Lords? And for that matter, where is the rest of the stuff for the other Iron lords introduced in year 2 (E.G. Nirwen)? Are we just kinda pretending that Holliday doesn't exist until the summer when SRL returns? Oh...um...what in the actual shit happened to Efrideet? Or the group she mentioned? Is Tyra still alive? I haven't been to the farm in months. I'm just gonna assume that we won't get more on the Exo Stranger. I figure that we will hear from Eris when we get the Savathun expansion...I hope? No idea when we are gonna hear about the Queen and her brother. I think one of them was on Mars, and we are on Mars for the next DLC so maybe? Maybe not? Shit I don't know. Are we ever gonna see an Arhamkara, or is that just #Folklore? Honestly, at this point I would like them to just focus on telling stories with the characters that they have in place. Sure, maybe introduce some new ones every now and then, but focus on developing who we have right now. Like when we gonna see the father/daughter bond between Osiris and Ikora develops more? When we gonna get a brothers style reconciliation between Shaxx and Saladin? Maybe something with Cayde and Shiro...we know they know each other, but have never actually seen them converse. I think the Sunbreakers are a perfect example of how Bungie just bungles character development. They introduced a cool faction with tons of lore potential. Posed a problem. Hinted at a resolution. Then killed off the group entirely before any satisfactory climax was reached. Like shit, what was the point? Just pick a story, and tell it. Don't stop half way. Don't just hint. Commit to the tale and tell it in depth.

The comics has a line from Sagria: "Later haters!" ... Are...you...kidding...me?... You went from: "You are a dead thing, made from a dead power in the shape of the dead... The Ghost rose's cut on my finger hasn't healed since." To: "Later Haters?" If this is the best the writers can do, then the franchise is already dead.

The main writer made a living writing Twilight rip off books and ruining Marvel characters so badly that Marvel had to kill the characters off. Expect the fall comet expansions writing and story to be awful. I fully expect Anna Bray in Warmind to be a butch type lesbian feminist, it’s all the writer knows.

Because d2, curse of Osiris and warmind were written by a children's literature author.

Hi I’m 11, I love failsafe. She’s probably my favorite character I like destiny 2’s story but we need to nerf fusion rifles. ~TheGreatNike

That's because their lead writer is a failed children's book author. But wait....the mediocre storytelling isn't complete without a feminist protagonist, which will be revealed in Warmind. One that doesn't need a guardian's help, but for the sake of subpar storyline, begrudgingly accepts, all the while letting you know that your help isn't needed.

Avatar: the Last Airbender was a show made for kids but it had a deep story and lore to it that actually made it appeal to almost all audiences. Same with the original Teen Titans. We need more stuff like this in general nowadays. Everything is so... kiddy and politically correct.

It's not "poor writers" that is the reason for D2's story. It's the [i]direction[/i] that these writers must adhere to. The director is responsible for which way the story goes, how it's told, what we see, what we don't see. If this game was made for casuals, the storytelling and characters are going to be casual. Star Wars Rogue One went casual, as did Marvel and now DC movies. It's a trend where humor is everywhere, and as long as the audience laughs and they like what they see, [i]there's[/i] the success. D1 had a different direction: A dark tone of mystery and struggle through a world our own Guardian must learn and understand after their own resurrection from a distant time. A sense of home and doing what's necessary to reclaim it. The wonderment of the Darkness and the Light, and everything in between. An eternal struggle for answers sought out for in various perspectives, and reaching our future which has been our Destiny: [b]BECOMING LEGEND[/b]. D2's direction: We make a great team! Vex milk, yes. Cayde is... [i]dumb[/i]. No, Shaxx sounds like [i]me[/i]. [b][u]Bottomline[/u][/b] -Our Guardian's need their voice back. -Ghost needs to have Dinklage's sincere tone. -Leave the humor to Cayde-6

D1 = Lego D2 = Duplo

Because they catered to casuals who play games and watch movies that are easy to play/watch. They don't want to think 1% and then it is 'good' for them. Edit: imagine destiny being more brutal (what it should be..) and with a much darker story. It would be freaking amazing.

OMG.... It's as if they're starting the process of character development [spoiler]GASP[/spoiler]

No way man. If they did that then Luke’s nieces wouldn’t know what’s going on.

The dialogue in this game is horrendous. There might be a lot to the actual lore, but the character dialogue and vocal delivery is absolutely vapid.

Make Vance more calm and cool instead of insane fanboy traits.
