Specific Scenarios (Criticism)

Agreed. I think overall AI Allies just don't fit into the style/gameplay of Destiny. :sadface: Thinking back through Destiny 2, I can recall a moment where Amanda blasts some enemies as you're going through a Cabal hanger, that was pretty cool (and works for her!), but ultimately falls short. The only other time I can think of is in Curse of Osiris when Osiris shows up and helps you with the boss but again, can we really count that?

That said, I do think there are opportunities to do this in specific missions or even strikes to have friendly AI companions. Here are some examples of scenarios where I think it would be cool to interact with friendly NPC's with real boots on the ground:

• A strike, where the middle section is escorting city survivors across a section of the EDZ as they make they're way to the farm.
  
• A mission defending a section of the tower with Shax's frames.
  
• Savathun's Song, but we actually start the strike with Taeko's fireteam. After the first 1/3 of the strike, the fireteams split up and then it continues as normal.
