Is it me or...
Does Bungie kinda suck at story telling when it's not Hive related?
-
I think the only reason why the Hive storytelling isn't as effected as the others is because there was so much groundwork already established in game rather than just in lore. There's a lot of storytelling with the vex and fallen but since most of it was lore side rather than in-game the modern Bungo writers were able to fudge it up to such a higher extent

I feel we should have gotten a Bray and Elizabeth centered story with Bray being the Big Bad and experimenting with the Vex and Elizabeth trying to stop him with our aid with some backstory and scenes dropped in with him leading the Vex here in the first place. Would have been better then Osiris and Saint 14. Thats just me though.

I wanna see more Vex. I don't care about Fallen, I'm over Hive and Cabal are done, nothing to see there, but the Vex? There's a whole lotta unknown, they could do [b]SO[/b] much with it if they only let themselves go. These past 2 weeks seeing the Vex architecture in the new Strike/Battleground (whatever), I can never get enough of that. But ........ Bungo 🤷 I ain't holdin my breath.

The story telling in general has been a big improvement I think. But the vex suffer because we don't have, and have never had, any meaning communication with them. Plot points are always more engaging when the characters are more involved. I loved calus... he was a great character and enjoyed all story arcs with him (osiris and nimbus perhaps detract during lightfall but they're still engaging). The witness/cayde made the final shape! This season we get two mopey boys, and no big bad (yet????)... so the only conversation we get I kinda want to ignore. Although, I like failsafe but she's working with duds (characters, not actors)!

由The Hermit IX編輯： 7/25/2024 2:16:54 PMForsaken and Final Shape were good but yeah WQ and season of the witch were excellent story lines. It’s hard to find the Vex threatening or interesting honestly. Maybe they’ll be reshaped enough to be a compelling story beat moving forward.

13 回覆由jhermannITJ編輯： 7/24/2024 6:27:26 PMIt going to pick up... From a writers perspective let me talk about it. There's the main arc of the franchise that they have been developing for over 10 years whilst trying to preserve some intrigue and mystery. That's hard. Some believe that they failed... I do not. The expectation being that the narrative should be front facing and literal at all times, because that's how storytelling works in most games. To figure out the story... a player needs to invest in the lore. That's where Bungie has been weak, imo. Players don't have a Bungie curated, dedicated portal for the lore. We need one. Accessible on Bungie.net and the companion app... ideally in-game. In-game requires gameplay progression to unlock access to it. I don't know if you remove those mechanics entirely... however there should still be a portal/compendium players can access once the lore is available to be unlocked in-game. In kind, the audio logs... I've been making an effort over the last 2 years to be a guide for people to these various resources I use to analyze and study the lore... included are my theories respective the core arc of the narrative. I use Destinypedia for lore and Destiny Lore Vault on Youtube for videos. DLV is also connected to a Reddit group and they have a lore compendium too here's the link: [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyLore/wiki/lorecompendium/]Lore Compendium[/url]

9 回覆I had hoped that they were secretly going to build on the old Cliffhanger mission from the Red War and have Asher Mir return after closing the Pyramiddion leading a Vex faction that he infected with individuality. But no, just follow the formula.

Xivu Arath is right there, their storytelling with the Hive is also flawed. The majors issue is they spent the year of Lightfall spinning their wheels and after Final Shape the first Episode we get is a story where the Vex are being controlled by an outside force for the third time. It’s a weak start. Very weak start.
