Favorite location in Destiny and why? (Destiny)

The Vault of Glass.

The two jumping puzzle areas are my favorites. They really capture a sense of otherworldliness and bring out my desire to explore. A friend and I spent 30 minutes jumping to all of the weird objects in VoG's jumping puzzle area just to see what, if anything, was there. Super fun. I wish there was even a single non-raid area that was that expansive and rewarding to explore. The Black Garden comes close, I guess, but like all story missions, it's too linearly designed.

In fact, man, the whole "patrol" areas are ALL too linearly designed. They're just loops with only one point of entrance to each adjoining area. To get from A to B you *have* to go through pass X. Whereas in the Vault, there are like 3 or 4 different paths from the first chest to the templar's room, and none of them are straightforward.

Bungie, if you read this, PLEASE put some actual exploration into your game. I'm really sick of finding a distant ledge I can jump to only to immediately get a "turn back" countdown.
