I don't think Destiny is a fun universe (Destiny)

Shooting enemies in the game is fun but the universe is not.

But I think that you are totally missing the point of what I'm trying to say. My Bad.

What I am saying is that, so far, nobody in Bungie seems to give a shit how stuff works. And I think that this attitude is baked into the genre. This Mythic Sci-Fi.

How do you restore a soul? From what? How does a machine feed on a soul? What is a soul?

Mythic Sci-Fi is just a hodge-podge of guns and wizards.

Joe tried to work out how it made sense and just gave up.

Can you explain to me how souls work in Destiny? How do you know? How can we know? What is a soul in the Destinyverse?

I think that you would be on to a loser trying to explain how stuff works in Destiny, to try to make it make sense so that we could talk about it and all understand what we mean. So we could reason about it.
