I think our definitions of purpose are different in this instance. What I take from the original post is not a purpose for the character but a conveyance of that purpose to the player. Destiny is not the game it was hyped up to be, that is true. I do not believe, however, that purpose is something that a purpose is something that can be given to someone from digital media. Regardless if the game where what it was marketed to be or not. Maybe I am taking the poster out of context, but re reading the post I don't think I am.
