Ideas to fix the story and factions (Destiny)

It seems like nobody is happy with the story for many reasons, but nobody has anything to say to fix said problem.

The Grimoire being implemented into the game, just isn't going to happen, let's be honest.
And the factions/vanguard/crucible vendors are just there for a glorified gear shop at the moment.

But if Bungie does this in their DLCs it would be great:

Have our backstory of your guardian based on the faction we gravitated towards to before the DLC dropped.

Make it like a subconscious kind of decision you made

Level 4 Dead Orbit Titan? DLC drops and your Titan starts getting flashbacks from before his first death. Maybe while fighting off Fallen from a fleeing DO ship your view shifts and you see a glimpse of the Darkness. And based on your faction and class combo, you'd see a different aspect(s) of the Darkness' attack and a different significant event of the Collapse.

This will flesh out the story a little more and bring the community together to see all the different cut-scenes of the Darkness causing the Collapse. And if the Traveler is really evil or there is some other hidden twist to the plot, you'd only realize it when you piece together all the different visions of the Collapse. And by spreading out the visions with the community of Guardians, we wouldn't have a huge exposition dump all at once.

Now you care about the people you're trying to save in the Last City, you've seen how powerful human tech was while fighting off the Darkness, you can kind of see how your Guardian fell in battle (hopefully that part is still sort of vague just for fan-fic's sake), and it will bring the Destiny community together in one fell swoop.

Maybe after piecing together all these visions, you see why humanity hates all these aliens and why they hate us.

If you read all of this, thanks I guess.
