Its going to be a real grind for us (Destiny)

While I still think there's more in the initial game than those 4 locations, I sort of like your idea of expanding outward later on. Whether that's in DLC or later games... well, whatever.

It would make sense in that case that, in addition to Earth, we're starting with the Moon, Venus, and Mars. They are our closest neighbors.

Does that leave Mercury as a possible undiscussed option for the first game? Since it's closer to the inside of the solar system than those other locations, it doesn't make sense to me to have it be a later conquest. Or, maybe Mercury's just too inhospitable even for the Traveler's terraforming, and there's nothing there to find. :)
