That was spot on, actually.

Watching that, I think the major problem with the plot is that the side missions have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the main plot, and there's very little indication that they're even "side" missions when they first appear. Or at least, I didn't get that until I was playing through with my second character.

Honestly, I think the game's plot would be getting better reviews if the side missions didn't unlock until after the main story was complete, and then unlocked all at once. I also think this change would have made the world feel bigger and the game feel longer because it would have effectively given each world a whole second plot thread to follow. Instead of feeling like "I beat the game... and nothing happened" it would have felt like "I beat the game and holy crap there's a HUGE unlock that doubles the content!"

Poor planning by Bungie, I think. It's too late now to change it for current characters, but boy should that change be made for new characters.
