Bungie's story goals (Destiny)

Destiny, for whatever the reasons, clearly misstepped in terms of story. In terms of a lot of things. But the universe is is solid, is a lot of fun, and, to me at least, is both a great place to tell stories and a place where great stories have already been told. And I think there are more great stories to come.

Specifically, I can't wait to see the continuation of the Exo Stranger's story. I can't want to see Rasputin come out of his shell and become the crazy Marathon-esq AI he is. I can't wait to see who The Nine are and, of course, it will be nice for The Darkness to come into true focus someday.

Yeah, a lot of the above isn't really in the game. But I'm also hopeful that they will have learned from the mistakes and fixed the processes and we'll get something increasingly awesome going forward. I don't expect Bungie to turn into a Naughty Dog or DONTNOD or anyone else. But they have best in class gameplay and some great writers. If they can just merge the two a little bit better next time I think we'll all be impressed.
