Love the idea about defending the city. Even more, why can we not engage with the city dwellers. We risk our lives for them but never have been there. Also, how about more story engagements with the tower dwellers, the factions? whether or not this was cut from the game is moot at this point. To give the game life, we need to engage with npcs - tower, city, wilderness. to have missions and get back story. that will make it feel more like a living, breathing world. and that is what i thought was Bungie's vision. This is coming from someone who likes the game and expected just a shared world shooter. but within that world, i was expecting it to have more life. to have more and varied activities.
