To D or not to D?? (Destiny)

Long time fan and lurker (mostly on HBO) here. I've been trying to suss out if Destiny is, for me at least, a launch day buy or a pick it up later kinda thing. I'll definitely end up playing at at some point but have a baby on the way so luxury items have to be well planned ;)

I'm familiar with the general plot of the game, and it's certainly the kind of thing I'd go for but I'd be interested in the thoughts of anyone who played the Beta never having played an MMO before (I have not partaken in WoW, Skyrim, EVE, Starcraft etc..) nor am I steeped in fantasy history a la dungeons and dragons type mysticism. I'm not against it but haven't found the need to open that box either.

I don't have much of a friends list (have friends, just not gamers lol) and have generally looked for decent campaign type games.. things like raids look like their out of the realm of doability for now.. so I'm wondering what the lifespan of the game is and how much of the detail I would need to get into to get the most from it. Looking at wiki's and reading threads here there looks to be a LOT going on

I do understand the futility of a question like that to other people what with everything being subjective and all (YMMV).. but I'm wondering if there's a half decent primer anyone has come across that might help me decide? or any advice?

Cheers
Jay
