No, there should NOT be mounts.
No, there should NOT be pets.
No, there should NOT be marriage.
No, there should NOT be jobs.
It's a "shared-", open-world first person shooter with RPG elements, there's no reason to turn it into the Sims with guns and aliens.
Also, for the love of god and all that is holy: no -blam!-ing cat ears please.

Sure, you roleplay in the game, but the genre emphasis is clearly leaning towards a Shooter, so the more role-playing-centric features like marriage, pet ownership, and day jobs should be kept out of the game.[/quote]

But you make your own custom character, pick your ROLE, play that ROLE and did I mention it's a game? Be definition it's a roleplaying game. I don't want mounts, I want vehicles (which are confirmed). I wouldn't mind pets in the form of mobile robotic turrets or what not, but no animals. I'm excited about Destiny simply because it has a heavy emphasis on its RPG aspects. If I wanted a standard 'generic character, no character progression shooter' I could have a dozen options without waiting. It's a fast-paced, action focused shooter. It's also an RPG, but in the end who cares? Label it whatever you want. It has a dedicated team who are making a game they want to play and that's what I care about, a fun and good looking game. Call it whatever you want and I'll still enjoy it!
