Hey devs and guys!
I was just going to buy the new expansion for destiny 2 today, but ended up reading about it a bit first. I went to eurogamer and it seemed really cool, but unfortunately I don't think I am going to buy it.
The reason being that I don't like the religious themes which are being put in the game, ie. an "altar" where you will be rewarded with Vex weapon or some kind of "prophecies"/quests, where you also get gear.
I know for others this might be a minor issue, but I just can't stand when religion gets put in game, where it plays no role - like a looter rpg which Destiny 2 is.
Some of you might be able to figure my faith out from my battletag, but please, stay on topic of my worry - I might totally have misunderstood what was meant with altar/prophecies, so would love to hear more / discuss further - especially from a dev, but also anyone else.

Religion definitely has a place in RPGs. Look at the best fantasy or sci-fi novels, fully fleshed-out worlds inevitably will include lore-appropriate religions.
