Wow, that's exciting! (Destiny)

I totally expected us to be limited to a very small set of options during the Beta, so Urk's comments are very interesting. I suppose it's advantageous to test as many parts of the system as possible, but I be that's going to be a gargantuan task.

Two questions:

• How much story will we be able to play in the Beta? I would imagine that we will probably see a small handful of "starter" missions, but I doubt that we'll be allowed to even scratch the surface before release. Maybe there will be some Beta-specific missions that won't be available in the final release?
  
• Will our characters and their winnings carry over from the Beta to final release? I can see an argument either way, and I'm not sure which one is better.
  
• Are Beta players "The Vanguard"? If so, maybe this plays into the idea of there being Beta-only missions to play. Maybe there's a mini-storyline that once completed awards Beta players with something unique to carry over to release.

Oi, my mind is just racing today.
