Do the story missions play out in a similar fashion to the story missions we've already seen in the game? Will there be new cutscenes, dialogue and characters? Can you talk about their structure? Is there anything different going on compared to what we've seen before?

Harold Ryan: The structure of the story in this expansion is different than the story in the core game. Looking at how the story plays and how we wanted to repackage it and reacting to fan feedback, we're taking a different approach to the story in this one. So it's going to be driven in a very interesting way for players, as you meet with Eris in the Tower and follow her guidance through the story.



Harold Ryan: So, looking at how the exotic quests work, like the Thorn quest, was the inspiration for how we're attempting to tell the story in this expansion. And so it's going to feel much more emergent and interactive in the world as you play through and unlock the story of Eris.

One of the things people criticised Destiny for was the lack of story in terms of how it played out within the missions. For example, there was a general lack of characters, exposition, cutscenes and dialogue - the kind of stuff we've seen a lot of in the Halo series. Is that something you will address with the story missions in the DLC?

Harold Ryan: What you'll see in this expansion, it's going to be a very different approach to telling a new story to players than the thematically-driven story from the original launch of the game. It's going to feel much more loot driven and story driven in that it's going to feel faster-paced with more action as you go through it, and with exposition. The important thing about Eris is,this story is going to be her story and she's going to send you on a mission that's a lot of fun.


So it looks like several changes have taken place:

>stories will play out like exotic bounties. That may mean multiple stages for one mission, and there are 3 missions.

>Eris is narrating this story, not your Ghost. So finally a change in that regard.


>we FINALLY get to go in the Seraphim Vault for a Strike Mission.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.

Only 3 actually. Yeah, these changes sound really good, but it's too little, too late.

Story missions play out like the thorn bounty?


This is the thorn bounty:
Complete the Summon Pits strike on the Moon.
Kill 500 Hive enemies on the Moon.
Kill Guardians in the Crucible using void damage.  Deaths slow your progress greatly!  You need 500 points ( 1 kill = 5 points, 1 death = -2 points).
Buy an Infusion of Light from the Speaker for 1 Mote of Light.
Defeat Xyor, the Unwed in a special level 26 version of the Summoning Pits strike on the moon.  He will appear once you have killed all of the minions around Phogoth.

That's not much better than defending dinklebof

Seraphim vault is PS exclusive because Bungie loves to fuck over their fans. At least I'm 95% sure the vault strike, the only relevant one, is exclusive.

Fucking Bungie

99% sure Destiny 2 will be a great game with a decent at worst story, given the public outcry.

Also reassuring that they did indeed mean for a thematically driven story.

Same here. I'm merely speculating here, I'm not saying the game will be better.
I'm saying there is a chance........but that's it.

There's no hope of Destiny even being an okay  game.

Saying something, once again, doesn't make it true.
It's already an okay game to some.

A game being cut up so it can be sold to you separately is not an okay game.

It sounds awesome but I'm afraid it's too little too late. I paid full price for a game with about 50% of its content cut or locked on disk, just to have that content sold back to us in pieces for £36 (almost the full price of a game which is roughly 45-49 gbp).

Bungie (this is not Activisions doing) can go get fucked by an un-lubricated horse cock if they think that kind of business practice is acceptable (fucking EA tier bollocks),

I'd prefer story missions to actually be based on based on narrative and major events, not a bounty.
