Does Destiny need a "campaign"? (Destiny)
You’re hitting on a few good points there. I do think Bungie has a problem with their current approach to storytelling in general at the moment (beyond the obvious shortcomings of Vanilla D1). Every thread they introduce seems to either a) not go anywhere meaningful, or b) end in a cliffhanger that never gets resolved.
TTK starts with 1 cliffhanger (where is Mara?) and ends with another (WTF is Eris up to?). We’ve had 2 major Destiny releases since then, and neither of those threads have been mentioned in any meaningful way. And the more time goes by, the less likely it is that Bungie will ever return to those threads (because with every release, there is this pull to tell a “complete, contained story”). What about The Stranger? Dr Shinn? The alliance between humans and the awoken? Etc.
And to add insult to injury, the way Luke responds when asked about The Stranger is so incredibly aggravating. "Oh, what? We're done w/ her & that story." It certainly doesn't bode well for these other major threads that have just been dropped. I feel like Bungie is trying to distancing itself from whatever parts of the original story (original being before the last-hour rewrite) that they couldn't get away from (because they still needed to ship a game in under a year).
