I would have loved more mass effect in my destiny (Destiny)

Imagine if your guardians could ask questions, all those questions that a person would ask in their circumstances.

Of course, Bungie would have had to do a lot of world building to answer them. But wouldn't that have been a good thing?

I have played, for example, Two Betrayals maybe hundreds of times more than any mission in Destiny. But I have never been bored doing it. I always knew the stakes and new the stakes mattered. I've never said to myself, "but I've saved the galaxy before".

When I play Destiny I'm not sure that I think much about my character, I think more about loot, rep, and gear. I think I have some thought of my character but I'm distant from the world I'm in.

OTOH the ME world is a real world to me, one that I like being in.

Did the Halo story come to easy to Bungie? Is space magic and epic lore too abstract? Too ungrounded?

I remember Joe saying that he sat down and tried to write a real world explanation of why we could see fallen " souls" leave their bodies when shot. Maybe he wasn't comfortable with the genre.
