Smith recently had this to say about Destiny 1's story, specifically referenceing The Exo Stranger's story arc... [quote][b]Is there a world in which we never find out who the Exo Stranger was talking to on the phone?[/b] Yeah, I mean, there’s a world where you never find out anything else about the Exo Stranger, and there’s a world where the Exo Stranger is the star of— [b]Destiny 3?[/b] [Laughs] Yeah, there’s a world where the Exo Stranger has a cartoon or a comic book series or whatever. With Destiny, we have so many cool opportunities to tell stories in and out of the game. And we have a bunch of characters who are interesting, but [u]the Exo Stranger is one that always makes me chuckle a little bit. Because I feel that’s one character where we actually wrapped up the arc. She gave you a sweet gun and then dissolved, presumably off to do something else. So I feel like, of all of our characters we’ve introduced and exited, we actually exited her effectively.[/u] But she always comes up. She always comes up, so there’s obviously something to that character that piques people’s curiosity. [/quote] Does this offend anyone other than myself? Does Luke Smith/Bungie believe we're this stupid? Surely Smith doesn't truly believe this same drivel about the rest of Destiny 1's story elements and side plots. I don't think I have ever heard anyone with this opinion of her story arc. I can't fathom how Smith believes that Bungie, "exited her effectively." Even with the information in the Grimoire she is still a giant mystery. Are we not supposed to want to know who she was talking to? Where she came from? What her purpose was/is/will be? For the record: I do appreciate that they are really focusing on telling a thoroughly deep story from Destiny 2 onward. However, we can't just drop Destiny 1 and pretend like it never happened. What a slap in the face to those of us (players and content creators) who invested our time and effort into playing and decrypting (pun intended) Destiny 1's story and history. (EDIT: Wooo!!! We're trending! Let's keep this conversation going, Guardians.) (EDIT 2: Updated title to remove redundancies.) (EDIT 3: Some great replies and good conversation going on here. Keep it up y'all!)
