In a world where a Guardian can lay dead for hundreds of years and then be resurrected at any time I don't think Bungie would have any difficulty pulling that off in a sequel.

What does that even mean? You said you wanted a new game, but with all your progress from the previous game. That's called an expansion.

Incorrect. Mass Effect did it. And Dragon Age: Inquisition allowed you to import your choices made in previous games which altered the story and lore. Clearly both of these examples were sequels, not expansions.

Those games continued off the story directly (and in their case, your choices were needed for that) and that isn't what you said you wanted, you want [i]all[/i] of you're progress. Gear, weapons, it might as well be be an expansion since it's an RPG progression.

I actually didn't say anything of the sort (I'm not the guy you originally replied to). I personally wouldn't ask that all of my progression be carried over. However, I do think it would be pretty cool if, at the end of this game, you could store a limited number of inventory items in a sort of cache. Finding this cache in the sequel would be a long quest line that only unlocks once you've hit the max exp level cap (not light level cap). All weapons and armor obtained from the cache would be unupgraded and require leveling. But I know that's not gonna happen.

The idea of following a "legacy" of your past character is actually really cool
