The Story We Were Promised
First off, let me just say I am enjoying this game. I play it as often as possible and can't wait until my wife [i]lets[/i] me do it some more. Lol. But, with that being said, as much as I'm enjoying blasting baddies, I'm really feeling uncomfortable about not fully knowing [i]why[/i].
In an age of pvp shooters and online only multiplayer, companies are making the mistake of sacrificing story, but without story, we have no purpose, and without purpose... There is no destiny.
I want to know who my character was before the Ghost revived them. I want to know when he/she fell. Do they even know about the Traveler? How did they learn to fight? What makes them worthy of being a Guardian? And why aren't they asking anything and just happily killing things as complacently as possible?
There are a lot of questions needing answered, and yes, I look into the Grimoire whenever I unlock cards. As a Halo fan from the beginning, I'm really hoping Bungie will save the day with deeper characters and plot lines in near future content, and personally, for promising us more than has been delivered, [i]I think that content should be free.[/i]
We, as their consumers, need to let our concerns be noted and not settle for paying for the story we were promised.

7 RepliesCongratulations. You have achieved the next level of Story Enlightenment. Allow me to guide you. The inherent problem of story driven multi-player is just that. They CAN'T tell you who you are or what you died from. Because then everyone has the same backstory. You can't customize when someone is telling you this is who the character is and how they behave. You want to know more about your character? YOU make it up. You ask the questions. Now YOU must answer them. YOU must write out and fulfill your DESTINY. My Titan's name is Kalienthia. She was a soldier during the Collapse and fought against the first waves of the Darkness and it's Horde of aliens. She was defending fleeing refugees as they sought to flee Earth from the Cosmodrome. It was there she was slain. Her Ghost in question found records of her unit and decided she specifically would be a good Guardian because she was "interesting" based off the reports it found in old ruined databanks and spend the rest of it's existence looking for her specifically. It found her in the ruins of the Cosmodrome where she was slain. Her experiences at being brought back to life were a bit surreal. Her nature as a Titan and a Striker manifested in a constant subconscious itching of the fists and a strong desire to just punch something. The satisfaction of landing her first skull crushing blow and feeling the shock of the punch ride up her arm was something she thoroughly enjoyed. She remembers her name and remembers the Hell of the collapse. She doesn't need to hear the tales and legends of the Fall of the Golden Age. She lived that war and finds their inaccuracies amusing. She also developed a disturbing (at least to her Ghost) tendency to dance on the graves and bodies of her slain enemies. (Done when a mission is concluded as I make a beeline for the spot I killed the Major or Ultra and start dancing.) She takes pride in being a Titan and hearing about their indomitable nature. (Taken from reading the various tooltips of the Marks of Six Fronts. As well as the descriptions found in Titan Armor.) She also has a love of the color blue. Your turn.
