Story is doo doo...or you just had to play D1 I guess?

I should preface that I know Bungie pretty well, I was a Halo 1-3 fanatic. So I'm familiar with their writing style. It's never been anything exceptional but I didn't think the Halo series was all that bad. Though 343 took over so some things have changed over the last few years. I did not play Destiny 1. I know almost nothing about the game to be honest. My wife bought me D2 as a birthday gift last week for PC, because it's the new hot game and she thought I might like it. Which, I really do like it and am having fun so far. I barely have room to talk because I'm only level 16 and just got to the point where you get back to the farm with Nathan Fillian and Co., but this story is so weak it's almost painful to sit through sometimes. I have absolutely zero connection to any of these characters, and the ghost that accompanies me seems like it's dialogue was written by a teenager. There is absolutely no depth or character development that I can see so far. Not only that, but I have no idea what the hell some of this stuff is. Namely the Traveler which seems to be absolutely essential to the existence of the Guardians. I think I've got the gist of what's it's capabilities are and the function it serves, but wtf is it? Seems like you HAVE to educate yourself if you're new to the series because the rehashing for new players is almost nonexistent, and possibly why I give zero shits about any of these characters. Since almost all of you seem to have played D1, what do you think about the story? Am I right to assume you just kind of had to of played the first one to really get into it?

  • There's videos on youtube if you need to know about certain things, also I liked the story because in destiny 1 you had your light the whole time, in this one we experience what it feels light to lose it
