Do you think there will be one, either in a similar manner to what they did with Halo or something different?

Would you even want one?

I'm torn. Destiny is such a great universe, I feel like it deserves to be expanded upon (graphic novels please!). However, I think part of what makes it so great is that it's just the fragments from the cards. Those little snippets give you such brief glimpses into the world, it's just fascinating.

I can't help but think it'd end up like Halo did with the Forerunners. The Traveler would be stripped bare, completely explained, the world would be spelled out for us.

I just love Destiny's lore so much, I'd love to see more of it in different forms, but I wouldn't want it to be as diluted as it seems Halo's is becoming.

I think a lot of Halo's EU was out of Bungie's hands, or only partly in their hands, from the start. If you look at the games themselves, Bungie handled the Forerunner mystery perfectly, giving half-answers without ruining the mystique.

I believe Destiny's story will be much better tended than Halo's EU. It's a brand new start from the ground up and they can avoid many issues they went through and learned from during Halo. I especially got the feeling after some of the reactions Reach created, primarily when Urk (I think) said something like 'we're going to keep a better eye on our stories and universes going forward'*, that Destiny will be guarded much more close to the chest.

*Pretty sure that was in a Weekly Update but not sure of the words used to actually find it at the moment.
