Don't ask me.... I can say this. Destiny has a vague hard to follow complicated storyline that makes people scratch their heads in wonder and ask, Huh? I stared off solo and got left behind, without Subtitles... sometimes I'm MID-FIRE-FIGHT!!! So i cant hear or read and im like.. HUH!?!? There's nothing to read in town, like in games such as Mass Effect 2. Bungie really could've made it a little simpler... The story reads like stereo instructions or like a car owners manual. I didnt even get a booklet with my game outlining the cool species and stuff.... I like booklets with my game. Screw the trees on this one example. So the storyline blindly leads is forward through a guessing game of he said she said. The speaker and other storyline characters shrug off major questions like we should already know the answers... We don't...and it leaves us asking questions.. Who is this speaker? What is the Vanguard Guarding?? Do I get to drive a sweet Van one day??? Cause the tumbler's ok but the paint jobs getting old and my timebreaker keeps breaking... Im curious to see what characters come into play in the following expansions. Will the Cabal or Fallen speak?? or just scream like Omnigul?? The Hive left us wondering whats in store, their story didnt connect to the Vex or Darkness much it was very independent and stand alone. No characters remain but Eris and the Legend of Oryx.... Now people wonder have we seen the last of Oryx's Minion's??? Only time and a possible 5th expansion or Destiny2 will reveal the answers. [u]The Characters:[/u] [b][i][u]"The 3 Classes of Destiny are balanced."[/u][/i][/b] [i]The number of storyline characters is limited. This section relates to the Guardians and their 3 Classes and Sub classes.[/i] [u][b]For information on Storyline characters see "Part 3 - Destiny The Complete Story"[/b][/u] [i][u]The Hunter Class:[/u][/i] When I started playing, my Hunter was my Favorite even though my Titan was my first creation. I find the Hunters invisibility and subclasses form a LETHAL combination of offensive power, useful in Raiding and PvP settings. Strengths: Abilities - The offensive power of the Bladedancer and Gunslinger are awesome. The look - Hunters look badass. Weaknesses: Mobility - Hunter became my least favorite due to my weak jumping power. [u]Bladedancer:[/u] This subclass is good for low level PvE and for PvP situations.. It's powerful fun and even when you cant find someone to kill you fly across the map until your blades taste blood. Useless at higher levels and in raids, people need to know their roles and not Bladedance against the Nexus Mind or other bosses. Switch to Gunslinger for Raids and Heroics. [u]Gunslinger:[/u] If you didnt play GoldenEye on Nintendo64 than you've never lived. The Golden Gun helps us relive those powerful moments when we incinerate the forces of darkness, vaporizing them into orbs of light. The Gunslinger is powerful and helps on Aetheon, the Templar.. Powerful & efficient. [i][u]The Titan:[/u][/i] Anyone ever play as a Warmonk?? Destiny did some good work on the Titan making it a tanking support class, capable of protecting allies while being mobile and powerful. The Titan combines all aspects for a strong character. Strengths: Support class able to generate orbs and protect others. Mobile and Strong able to distract enemies and efficient suppression grenades. Weaknesses: Lack of offensive powers. [u]The Defender:[/u] "Stay outta my personal space, your in my bubble." The Defender is my favorite Subclass for the Titan, for protecting allies and luring in foes. Popping the Titan bubble allows a Titan to recover and save himself before death, saving allies. You can revive allies or dance while foes cant harm you, it also makes enemies run inside where you can punch em. [u]The Striker:[/u] This subclass is powerful and good in PvP! Titans are mobile and strong a great class! Fly high over your enemies and smash down vaporizing your foes. Not as great as a Defender for Raiding or PvE Strikes but the Striker has a lethal edge missing from the Defender. [u][i]The Warlock:[/i][/u] This is my favorite class and was the last I created. The mobility, offensive and defensive capabilities make the Warlock the best IMO. Strengths: Balance - Between the VoidWalker and the Sunsinger classes, the warlock offers a balance of power and technique. [u]The SunSinger:[/u] "I am a Phoenix reborn!!.. do I look hot??" The SunSinger can revive its self with its super, making it lethal in PvP, Raids, and more. Being able to spring back from the dead and save the entire raid is #Epic. Watch the orbs fly as you toss grenades and punch people into ash!! The thrill in PvP when u pop back alive and avenge your own death!! #Priceless [u]The VoidWalker:[/u] This powerful class is fun and can unleash massive blasts of energy to vaporize enemies. Fun to try once in a while. ------- All in all the classes are a great example of the design elements of this game. Cant wait to see the third sub-classes! ------- Please continue to enjoy and read the Remainder of my review entitled; #DestinyInsideOut - Part 3 continues in; #DestinyTheCompleteStory Thanks to all, #PoutineLover of Gods of the Golden Age
