You're as inconsistent as ever. (Destiny)

I think it's funny that I'm dead wrong, but you conclude on the fact that this stuff needs to happen in game. Which is Cody's point and mine. Nothing goes down in-game. If I could wipe the Grimoire from existence and from your memory and everyone else's, this entire conversation isn't even happening right now. Why? Because Destiny has no story or plot. Sorry dude. Bungie.net does, though!


You know your argument is in trouble if you have to start fictitiously wiping content from existence to prove your point. Come back when you're ready to discuss things as they actually are.

Not when the content in contention is NOT IN THE GAME. You continue to defend Destiny's plot using information that is only available through the Grimoires. Do you not see how this is a faulty argument? A gamer who sits down and plays Destiny from start to finish is not presented any of that information. That is bad storytelling.

It's the same thing people have been saying for years about the Star Wars prequels ("if you read the books, the movies actually make sense"). Halo 4 fell in to the same trap. Now Destiny has done it as well, but to a further degree.

So when Avateur suggests forgetting about the Grimoire cards, he is making a good point. They are not part of Destiny the game. They are auxiliary content. There is no guarantee that a player will ever see them. Yet for Destiny's plot to have any weight, the player MUST be aware of that information.

See how this is a problem?
