So I guess I won't be joining DBO *Beta thoughts* (Destiny)

Considering there's only one safe place left on Earth, wouldn't it make sense that it's kind of empty everywhere else? Why would non-Guardians be out in the wilderness when the Traveler's protection is only limited to the City?

There aren't even many enemies around. They all spawn in the same place, if you walk ten feet away they'll respawn right back where you just killed them, and they just about never stray from those areas. And again, if they do stray and die, they'll just respawn right back there. ODST was obnoxiously empty, give or take the random enemies you'd come across. In a way this feels worse because, while there are enemies, they just stand around and do nothing until they see you and get killed.

And the Tower is the home of the Guardians, so again it would make sense that there's not tons of non-Guardians to interact with.

Dancing/pointing/waving only works for so long with random Guardians who you have no ability to chat with due to voice chat restrictions. In Mass Effect, my Normandy felt more alive, social, and organic with nothing but NPCs than the Tower does in every way, shape, and form.

Now if we ever get to go into the City below the Traveler, and it feels just as empty, that would be a problem.

Agreed.
