Well, I mean, that's different than what you asked. What you're really asking is does the game live up to the Become Legend motto.
That is not what I am saying. I am saying that the 'Legend' is inherently different for the person who lived it, and the people who didn't. The concept of a legend better serves those who didn't live it. Wanting to become one yourself is a self defeating goal, since for you, it's just your specific experience; the opposite of a Legend.
This might sound pedantic, but it is actually why the visual storytelling in Destiny will never ever work unless Bungie abandons this concept. It will be explained in an essay posting this weekend.
