even though I was only refering to vanilla destiny you are absolutely right about the taken king. and yes it was more STORY MISSIONS not "story" even though with the grimmoire destiny has a much larger lore even with just vanilla. SPOILERS in destiny I knew I was a guardian awoken by a ghost, had to investigate the darkness/hive coming to earth, found about the vex and cabal, had to get the eye of the gate lord go to the black guardan and stop the final boss... not much but atleast I knew something and it progressed as a story. in division you do random missions in any order eventually you fight a guy who betrayed you, even though I didnt even know who he was until his name appeared on my screen as the bosses health. the missions were VERY loosely tied to a story i think? im not sure. I honestly had no idea what was happening I was just shooting a bunch of guys that were all basically the same, with the exception of the cleaners. you get a cutscene when you bring in the NPC who represents the area of the base the mission was for where they all say " man its messed up outside, better get me lots of points so we can fix this"
