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

From what's been said and shown, especially in the live stream with the story team, I think we know a few things:
- Rise of Iron will probably focus more on in game characters than ever before. A valid criticism of Destiny 1.0 was that we had a number of characters who seemed like they should be interesting, from the Speaker to the Vanguard, but who we basically learned nothing about.
- Rise of Iron seems like it will involve us ending the SIVA threat which the Iron Lords only contained and hid away. A valid criticism of Destiny 1.0 was that even though we went places and did things, our actions were barely acknowledged.
- It sounds like the missions themselves will be more interesting both gameplay and plot wise. Especially if they manage to hold up to what sounds like a really fun introductory mission. A valid criticism of Destiny 1.0 was far too many of the missions had us killing things while our Ghost worked to open a door.
- The story team was said to have grown in size somewhat recently. Hopefully this means that Bungie has recognized that in game story needs to be a much larger focus than it has been in the past.

I'm cautiously optimistic for Rise of Iron. Even if it is somewhat shorter than The Taken King, I'm hopeful that we might get more from the in game story as it focuses on what happened to the past Iron Lords.
