I was letdown by the news that you cannot name your characters. Bungie seems to be really adamant at the idea that "you" are the Guardians and that "you" are the one trying to become legend, even though it's pretty common practice that in games like this, people want to create entirely different personas for their characters.
Besides, you can make more than one character, so it doesn't really add up to me. "Hey, I'll join your team, just let me switch my character first. See, I'm playing this character that's supposed to be me, but I wanna switch to this other class I'm working on with entirely different skills and playstyle and looks, that's also supposed to be me..."
Does Bungie have a fascination with narcissism?
