Starting area locked out? (Destiny)

Yeah, finding the tutorial area in alpha was epic (I saw screens, but didn't lock it down myself until the last night).

It proves the Golden Age was very close to present day (Wheeled, contemporary vehicles) and shows the tail end of what must have been a traumatic evacuation of Earth. The fact you are found there means that you may be someone who is actually alive in the present day, as in you are you, and thats awesome.

Although they used this to start the game, and it was cool, I hope there are other out of the way "story" areas in the game, not spelt out but there for you to look and fill in the gaps for yourself.

Though the assets are probably waaaaay to expensive to provide for a few spelunkers and explorers. Halo 1+2 had a bit of this but I think it was the fortunate result of poor planning than any wish to have levels way too big for the encounter team to populate or pace properly.
