I hope the writing in RoI is as good as this Owl Sector (Destiny)

It's fine to have high hopes for this expansion, isn't it? I believe the in-game writing has gotten better with each expansion. I'm aware that what i post here can come across as over-the-top cheerleading, but your post reads like over-the-top skepticism.

I'm not saying others can't have high hopes for it as far as writing goes, but I think people are getting suckered by this viral marketing campaign of Bungie's. People think it's an ARG and it isn't. People are scouring in-game to find stuff that isn't there. It's literally just a buff and colors floating around your head. That's it. The story bits taking part on B.net would probably be showing up regardless of who or what are getting infected or when. It's all for that final lead up to the launch and to create hype.

So, it is over-the-top skepticism on my part. I have very low expectations on their writing ability for this expansion. I've had two years worth of letdowns with Bungie's storytelling to inform how I'm viewing this. Taken King was a step in the right direction, and that step barely went very far. To be continued in, you guessed it, Destiny 2. If anything, this leaves me room to be pleasantly surprised instead of let down yet again with Rise of Iron, but who knows. I'm not holding my breath on story until Destiny 2.

Edit: And I have to personally disagree on the in-game writing getting better with each expansion. I'll give you Taken King, but nothing prior.
