You're as inconsistent as ever. (Destiny)

See how this is a problem?

Yes. Except there is much much more directly spoken in the game, in the missions than he is giving Destiny credit for. And I believe I can still make most of my arguments only using in game sources as I showed in my other reply to you on this issue. And if there's something I can't source from in game I will admit it. In my view, Avateur is ignoring a lot of stuff that is said in game in his argument that there is no story.

I think part of the problem here is a bit of a semantic one. Here's the way the discussion reads to me: you are saying "Destiny has a story. This happens, then this, then this, etc".

If I understand correctly, Avateur is making the argument (and I mostly agree) that "stuff happening" does not make a story. In the classic sense, a story needs driving force, goals, motivations, conflicts. It needs an arch with a beginning, middle, and end.

I feel that Destiny manages to scratch the surface on enough of these points to say "yes, Destiny has a story". But just barely. It's about on the level as my day today: I got up, went a few places, stuff happened. Not much of a story lol
