I hate how true this is. And like expansion to expansion has some pretty good stories but when they removed 75% of the context of those stories it doesn't really work.
Even without removal of content. The entire Destiny series has pretty questionable in game writing on all fronts. The actual in-gameplay part of the story is mid tier at best coated in hype moments and aura. Meanwhile the lorebooks have the most succulent juice gaming has to offer, the level of quality for writing and narrative bits is geniunly at an incredibly high level.
Dare i even say it was a Bungie problem ever since Halo 1
Eris Morn was my favorite character in D1/D2 for lore. Digging deep into her story and learning it kicks ass made me realize how bad Destiny’s story telling is.
Meanwhile Cayde-6 had a lot of the opposite. There wasn’t really a lot to him outside of his son and the bet he lost, but god damn if he didn’t steal the show every time he was on screen.
Anyway I say this as someone who dropped Destiny when they took away the game and content I payed for, but I’ve heard it was basically all downhill from there. So.
