So I have a story to tell it will be a bit long but stay with me.
My wife decided she wanted to play thru destiny but she wanted me to explain the different characters that she came/comes across.
So we began the game she asked what was the darkness? Sentient being, a plague, or a race of aliens?
Idk
After she finished the earth part of the game she asked why are the fallen on earth?
They're conquers.
No I mean why did they come, are they with the darkness? Are they the darkness?
Idk
Why did I have to unlock the resputin?
Idk
So then she beat the moon afterward she asked me if the hive can dig why would they think a door could hold them in?
Idk
So how do they correspond with the darkness?
Idk
Okay the summoning pit is stopping the traveler but why isn't there connection made with the hive and the darkness?
Idk
So I got the shard does the traveler wake up?
No
So why did I just do that?
Idk
Does anything I do in the game matter, will it change anything?
Not that I've seen.
Are the Vex the darkness?
No, maybe.
Why do they keep introducing new characters without even explaining who was the last new character?
Idk
Each descriptions that they do give us has nothing to do with the game.
Yeah I noticed that when I played.
After that she no longer wanted to play the game she said why waste her time playing this game when there's no real accomplishment afterwards. No ceremony no traveler wake up, nothing!
She realized in 4 hours what took me a month of playing. That this game seems so disfunctional in its construction along with no real reward system. Guns drop randomly so even if you get a gun you wanted it never will feel earned because you could get it in 20 mins or 20 hours. There's no dedicated way to earn things, just chance. There's no ending to the game no finally, even if the story would expand you could have some kind of accomplishment thus far but really it's a long winded tale with non developed characters who seem to have nothing to do with each other but by all rational should.

Yup. Exactly. The game itself has a horrendous plot with zero character development. They did a terrible job of introducing the characters in the base game and by the time they actually start to TRY and give these NPCs a personality, its already the expansion. They wait until the bloody expansion to start cultivating some semblance of character for these people and yet you don't even know who they are, what they do or anything else relating to their backstory. Same goes for everything else as well. People who claim that they "know" these things do nothing but speculate. Unless they actually took the time to read the Grimoire. The Grimoire itself on Bungie.net is filled with all manner of information. The problem is that [b]NONE OF THAT IS IN THE -blam!-ING GAME.[/b] And this whole thing that people go on about how TTK "improves" on this is really just a farce. Its the illusion of substance where there is none. The video above does a very good job of detailing the failure that is this expansion.
