What if Destiny was $60 with 2 FREE expansions? (Destiny)

Brood War is a great example of an expansion done right, with it's good new story campaign along with it's changes to multiplayer, but I don't think it's the only way to make an expansion. The single best piece of DLC I ever bought was Mass Effect 3's Citadel DLC. It added very little in the way of new or novel gameplay, but it was extremely worth it to me because of the new, fun locations I got to visit, the characters I got to met up with again in completely different (non-combat) circumstances, and the wonderfully humorous, in-joke laden storyline it provided. In all it added three or so short combat missions and was 100% incidental to Mass Effect 3's main plot even though it was set well before that game's final missions. What I take from the Citadel DLC is a good expansion neither has to add new gameplay or affect the overall story to earn "good expansion" status.

I imagine that Destiny's two known expansions will be more like the Mass Effect 3 expansions. That they'll add a fair amount of new missions and self contained story without drastically changing either the gameplay or the overall storyline of the main game. I'd be totally ok with that, even if they are 90% complete right, because again, it doesn't matter that much to me when they are worked on, but if I enjoyed them vs the price I payed for them.
