I prefer it this way I think (Destiny)

Does anyone else feel like we are standing still?

Maybe it's because the initial story presentation was so poor, but I like the way Destiny explores a variety of narratives as a kind of series of shorts.

Stuff like the story of aurax/Oryx and the origins of the Hive, or what's going on with the queen is more interesting to me then the central mystery of the traveler. I'd be perfectly happy if Destiny stayed a collection of short interesting stories, rather than plunging into it's own "central storyline" butthole like the later Halos did.

There's obv. lots of work to do in presentation there though.

Fun in the world rather than the main plot is a huge part of the appeal in Elder Scrolls games (there was even a mod for Skyrim that turned the main storyline into just another quest that you could pick up through exploration, and you could flat-out never start it if you didn't want to... Looking forward to that mod in the Remaster).

I'd love to see the stories that don't even involve Guardians (such as Holliday's journey to the Wall with her mother, ODST style). The universe is interesting enough that I'm not in any rush to really push the main plot forward.

Send us on a mission to Europe to scavenge for supplies, or a trip to an underwater military base to collect some nukes, only to find a rampant AI... stuff like that.
