A la carte content: my biggest concern. (Destiny)

They talked about expansions not needing previous content, being able to buy what you want and skip what you don't.

Sounds good on paper, but . . .

Some of my favorite stuff in Destiny is when new story stuff takes us back to some old locations, when quests involve visiting old haunts. I like when the game feels like a huge, cohesive universe that builds on itself. New content that doens't require old content my limit this. They can't send players back to Mars if there's the risk the some players don't own the content that gives them access to Mars, unless they really rework how the game and locations work.

I don't really want a version of Destiny where each new release feels like a segmented release that's not really connected to the rest of the universe. It's already bad enough about that in a lot of regards, and I can't imagine this will make it any better.

I'll have to rewatch to make sure, but I think they mentioned that locations will be available for everyone (possibly for this reason), and what you're buying will be access to new activities like missions, strikes, raids, pvp modes, etc.
