Well, they did it again. They had a chance to redeem their writing after botching horribly in D2 and CoO but, they did it again. First lets start with possibly the easiest thing to fix that annoys the majority of the community. The silent guardians that just look like jerks by literally saying NOTHING ever. Even my wife who doesn't play the game or know really anything about it was annoyed by watching it and asked "Why doesn't your person talk?" I had to reply. Because the writers want my character to look like an ignorant a-hole with no voice of their own. . .however in the first game they did talk and it held more continuity. Okay enough of that pet peeve of mine.
Another BIG question that NEEDS to be answered. Ana Bray. . . Why is she alive. . . why did all of the community believe that (In Bungie's words) "She was lost to us" aka fell to the second and final death. This wasn't even mentioned in the entire "Story" of the Warmind expansion. Zavala magically appears inside the entrance of Rasputin being the annoying jerk that No one likes and just is like blah blah blah you can't do this . . . Not We thought we lost you how are you still here. . .. This needs explaining. Not ignoring but, as always the lead narrator and writer Christine Thompson JUST IGNORES THE EARLIER WRITINGS. . . AND ANY REFERENCE TO LORE.
Ok on to the next thing that bothers me. . . So, Rasputin this most powerful weapon in the system. . more powerful than any guardian and possibly rivaling the traveler can beat a work god and the "Frozen Hive" so freezes the Hellas Basin to trap them. . . . . but, you a single under-leveled guardian with no special weapons with the exception of the Valkyrie (Which was something I believe they threw in there to go look st this thing we made to make you feel powerful) can defeat Norkis and A WYRM GOD By yourself. . . this sounds more like it should have been a 6 man fireteam raid event istead of a strike. . . You have the Son of a God who is a Heretic and a WYRM God that can be beat solo. . . nothing special just another ride in the park. . No mentions on why Norkis is cast out or why the Wyrm is with him. this is just brushed over opportunities for deep lore.
Guardians aren't supposed to look into their past. . . . . except Cayde, Ana or any other guardian that had an inkling of who they were such as name tags or repressed memories . . .you know . . . I'm just going to stop here because . .. BAD WRITER!!!!! BAD!!!!!
It's bad when Dark Below was better written than BOTH the expansions in D2 and it was a horrible expansion. The brain child that decided "Lets remove Grimoire Cards" was just a way to get lazy with the writing or realized . . .Our writing team frickin blows since Joseph Staten left us and lets just remove any chance of people seeing how bad the writing team is here. 4
Okay, Angry incoherent rant over . . . .
