Destiny “story” writing….. guys, the padding….
Failsafe: Go to Nessus and do stuff!
(Goes to Nessus)
Osiris: Guardian, come to the Helm NOW, it’s super duper important!
(Goes to the Helm)
Osiris: Guardian, I need you to go to Nessus!
I WAS JUST LITERALLY -blam!- THERE YOU SLACK -blam!- SPACE WIZARD
YOU HAVE A -blam!- SPACE PHONE THAT YOU JUST USED TO CALL ME WITH.
AND FAILSAFE IS THERE WITH YOU. YOU ARE LITERALLY STANDING NEXT TO HER!
THERE WAS ZERO NEED FOR ME TO FLY IN!
YOU COULD HAVE SPARED ME A FULL TANK OF SPACE GAS.
BUT NOOOOO, I HAVE TO MAKE A 10.90 AU
[u]ROUND TRIP[/u] BECAUSE YOU’RE DISTRAUGHT OVER YOUR BIG SILVER -blam!- TOY GOING MISSING, YET ARE TOO DENSE TO JUST TELL ME ON THE SPACE PHONE.
Obviously satire.
But damn Bungie, you’re not even attempting to hide the padding here 😂

Edited by Mortal_Resonance: 6/25/2024 8:29:35 PMHad similar comedy last season when Bungie brought back past seasons. Went to the farm to speak to Mara Sov, Mithrax and Devrim Kay. Listened to their conversation and the next quest step popped... *Go to the H.E.L.M to speak to Mara Sov.* She's literally stood in front of me doing some funky T-pose with lightbulb hands! Edit - this also highlighted something else that I've found bemusing. I went to the H.E.L.M and Mara Sov was already there. She left after me, arrived before me and had enough time to get comfy. NPCs can literally walk out of existence and reappear wherever, but my guardian is stuck using their ship.

1 ReplyThis week's quest was particularly engrossing. Step 1 kill 100 hobgoblins Step 2 kill 50 hobgoblins Step 3 kill 50 harpies or hobgoblins Step 4 kill 1 wyvern, 1 minotaur, 1 Cyclops & 1 hobgoblin It's got that much padding it was created in an asylum The laziest busywork quest of all busywork we've ever had

10 RepliesThe thing with Saint doesn't make any sense lore wise either. [spoiler]from what i understood, the vex cannot simulate a guardian because paracausal reasons? So the entire scenario of saint thinking hes a fake doesnt make any sense.[/spoiler]

2 Repliesyou didn't enjoy PTSD hour with the Scooby gang, while they sat around and had you fight the Witness on your own, for most if it?

2 RepliesC'mon -blam!- plays for "the story" Man, I mostly skip the cut scenes as they are almost inevitably fan fiction levels of drivel.

7 RepliesEdited by Hardcore_Uproar: 6/26/2024 6:27:14 AMThere is no story. Never has been. It's just stuff that's happening now. The last three weeks of so called story is basically "Do busywork and listen to Saint and Osiris wibble on about their relationship". They are gay, we get it. Good for them but I really do not care about their personal lives when it comes to what is happening on Nessus. It's irrelevant. It's just filler put in by people who can't actually write a creative engaging story ahead of putting their identity politics front and centre. This week's "story" was basically .. Get some stuff. Oh look, Saint has gone. Oh noes. Found him and he's babbling away about something. Kill the baddies. Let's go home. Saint get's depressed because he think's he's a copy. Osiris tells him he's still the man for him. Bless.The End. It was more of a road trip around Nessus followed by a relationship therapy session than an actual story. Oh but we did find out that the Conductor exists, come back in three weeks to find out more in Act 2 folks !! And whoever thinks that "Beep, Boop" Failsafe thing is funny needs to be spoken to. It wasn't funny the first time and it gets more stupid every single time I hear it. Stop it. I laughed at Ikora saying that this reminded her of Lakshmi 2 and the "Endless Night". Me as well. Because it's the same thing, a character hearing voices gets turned against who they are.

60 RepliesEdited by Vrika: 6/25/2024 9:29:21 PMI want to add, the campaign writing was so bad and cringe, if lightfall was dumb marvel humor, this was just plain woke trash. I am yours, and you are mine..... I didn't know what was going to come first, laughter or vomit.

8 RepliesI actually thought the witness was the most boring antagonist ever. Just boringly rambling in our ears making me want to fall asleep, never once saying anything interesting and never once instilling any fear. Just long droning boring diatribes in our ear everywhere we went during the campaign and I just wished I could skip it literally every single time.

1 ReplyEdited by STARKILLER2258: 6/27/2024 5:03:13 AMDamn, this gave me a flashback. Years ago I was working remodeling kitchens and baths. This one house we were working in had an intercom system. The husband was a frigging wing nut. One day the wife was talking to us about some details of the remodel, and the husband is on the 2nd floor and is yelling her name over the intercom. She's ignoring him because she's talking to us. Eventually he comes running down stairs and chews the wife out for not answering him and yells "when I call you on the intercom I expect you to answer". He then runs back upstairs and gets back on the intercom and starts yelling his wife name again. Uh, you frigging chucklehead, you were just down here standing in front of her, so why the hell didn't you tell her what you needed to tell her when you were down here? Nooo, we gotta run back upstairs and start the whole cycle over again. Maybe he works at bungie. lol

It's been this way with running from place to place for 5 minutes at a time, since D1... I believe many companies do this to keep people logged on longer...makes numbers look good to investors, or whoever ..
-
That's funny, but it is true, I would hate it if it was in real life glad it's in a game though.
-
Yeah, that was a sorry moment... osiris knows Saint is on nessus, and knows we're on nessus, and wants us to help find him.... so come to the helm please as I need to ask you in person!! Seriously, if destiny was real life and I had to fly from nessus and back for a 5-minute conversation, which could have happened over comms, I'd be fuming!! Osiris might be a liability at this point. Also, if he loves saint and wants us to find him asap, then why delay the search by needing to wait for the guardian to travel there and back... makes no sense!!! Reminds me of d1 taken king dlc (just story, not a quest step thankfully) there's a line from zavala (at the tower) which is along the lines of... next time you see Arach Jalaal (also at the tower), tell him thanks... seriously zavy, I'm on titan and mute; tell him yourself you lazy -blam!-!!

Edited by TarloDenn: 6/26/2024 12:46:08 AMYeah.. it's all a bit goofy 🥴 It's like going to meet up with a work colleague who then tells you to meet them at Goods Inwards department.. Ahm.. look Jeff, we jus had a chat in the office. Wtf are we going across site to continue the same chat you absolute plum 🤪 The refreshed areas with extra greenery are very pretty & the pew-pew is good enough, but this trekking from one place to another to watch a couple have an iffy moment is not what I signed up for 🤭 It was like Ik & Zav & Cayde having a wee bickering match during the campaign.. I'm kinda like "guys, I know you're all a bit emotional, but there's a 200foot embodiment of evil about to undo humanity, so if we could PLEASE put a pin in this til we save the world, that would be jus great" 🤨 I'm very much over these lil "character building" soap opera moments... It's all getting a bit tiresome & melodramatic 🙄

Yeah I think I'm out for a bit after this week. Boring story, boring activity, red borders already all dropped of the stuff I wanted to farm.
-
To be fair, I think there is a new crop of cross-pollinated space weed that the writers are on. It bangs.
-
I want eve like facility building in Destiny. I’m gonna build and run a space-gas station! I’ll be minted😁

Lmao, “space gas.” 😂

1 ReplyIt is quite annoying to have to travel to a location just to hear a conversation from one person and having to return back to the previous location we were just at. Technically, the H.E.L.M. should be currently over Nessus as the Traveler is already secured by the Coalition, and only minimal operations are needed there. (Not sure why it is such a bother to change the skybox for each player) On the topic, I will never understand why the story playing out is usually so terrible while the lore entries are so great. For example, yesterday's page that dropped regarding Mithrax and Saint having a conversation in the Hangar. I won't spoil it but the in-game "cutscenes" are rarely so thrilling.
-
I was thinking the exact same thing, If it was so important why wasn't I instructed to search for his signal on nesses and we had a little filler section of Failsafe going "BEEP BOOP" Looking for saint, We could of gone to the Cisten and gotten a lock on him. Only issue is that the destination was not changed to reflect what just happed in the story. I guess big ship crashes thats fine but echo lands on the planet and changes the vex and the landscape nope cant have that in the patrol space. Overall i enjoyed the mission and the story finally was kicked into gear.

This! Or you go to a place and have a physical conversation in person with them and the next part of the quest is to go to the helm and talk to them on FaceTime.

It is yet again the Bungo dance. One step sideways, 3 steps back. Welcome to Bungo.

Anybody remember just before D2 was launched, the big stage show and they said “less time going back to orbit”… Yeah, more time in loading screens back and forth ever since….
-
Most of Destiny storytelling in terms of the actual lines is indeed low quality vague padded monologues. They wouldn’t be able to communicate a plot point to save their lives. The best we got in this expansion were the Traveler’s memories but still…

Would have really appreciated a “skip” option on that helm conversation zzzzzzzzzz
