Witch Queen Spoiler Thread (Destiny)

I get the sense from the trailers there's some flanderization going on, particularly with Zavala. It's like Zavala doing an impression of Zavala.

That might be true, but that’s not my issue. Throughout the whole campaign, we’re invading Savathun’s Throne World and trying to find out how and why the Hive can use the Light. Every time we find out a bit of information Ikora says “That’s impossible!” or someone will say “So that means . . . “ and then just trails off without actually saying what that means. I almost get the impression the writers don’t have a fucking clue what it means, so they write all these little filler lines like that so that it roughly sounds like a conversation is happening, but literally not a single thing of substance is said.

It’s a shame, because there’s lots of good, fun writing in there. Savathun’s lines are all cool and good and fun to listen to. Some of the actual cutscenes where stuff does get explained is good. But the Guardians and Ghost and Vanguard all sound like actually dumb third graders trying to fake an important conversation. It’s so bad.
