The story in Destiny doesn't flow right. It doesn't make any sense especially with this new expansion. Why would people be doing all this stuff to supposedly help Eris prevent Crota from awakening and by doing the strikes and story missions apparently succeeding... Only to have to kill Crota anyway? It doesn't make much sense. In a roundabout way it is just saying to people that actually look at the story to just ignore all that other nonsense because you have to kill Crota anyway. What separates Destiny from other games is there is not huge plot holes in the story. Why did those other missions fail? We don't know. We just hear Eris babbling on and on about what a great job we did killing Omnigul and destroying Crotas soul. Only we didn't because sure enough, we still have to kill Crota.

They had a story. A big epic one with a character named "Crow"(Who used the Queens Brother's model) who reveals that the Traveler is evil and the aliens were the good guys. They cut it for whatever reason. Either a dispute with the original writer who walked with the story or purposely because they didn't think an epic story would fly with the 10 year olds. Either way, the story isn't ever going to get better.
