One of my favorite things about the Subclass quests... (Destiny)

As I think about it, I'm realizing the the thing that made me like it so much is the way they directly tied the history and lore with your current struggles together. Previous Destiny expansions or sub-plots have tried to do similar things in the past, but I've always found it to be one-sided. We learn a little bit about the history of Crota and the moon, as well as the Fireteam that "went down into the pit", but we never actually see anything tied to that fireteam. We just hear Eris talking about them non-stop.

You interacted with people who had been there before, and left evidence of their presence. There are bodies, scorch marks, and a sense that you're on the trail and catching up. You never do (in time) of course, but the sense of connection was there. Sucks that you can't replay them, they were a real treat.

That was one of the great things about Halo back in the day. Seeing the Lifeboats fly by, finding the crash site, then finding the survivors as they're in the middle of a battle, and working to save enough survivors so that you can rebuild your forces to mount a counter-attack on one of the enemy ships that caused you to evacuate in the first place? Man...

Destiny definitely needs more "things happened here" moments...
