It's in the expansions. (Destiny)

Man that was long. How many pages was that script? :P

The main point was that the story of Destiny isn't complete. I think you're right, and I think you're also right that Bungie will elaborate on this in future games.

You didn't bring up the expansions very much, but they do tell a complete story. Find out hive are waking Crota under the control of Omnigul. You find some stuff out, go kill Crota's soul. Then you go kill Omnigul. Then you actually kill Crota. Find out the Fallen have gone rogue in the reef. Find out who's leading them. Figure shit out. Capture the dude. Then a side story in a strike and the POE.

It seems to me that the main story of Destiny is basically a framework right now for telling smaller stories in the expansions. Hopefully, Bungie does turn it into its own story outright soon.

I'd like to say that I don't have a problem with the Destiny story as presented in game. I would like the Grimoire to be there, like Marathon, but I don't have an inherent issue with it. I know more is coming. It's why I didn't have a problem with Halo 2. I was surprised when it ended, but it was clear there would be a Halo 3, so I didn't mind.

Right now, the story IN THE GAME is just enough to keep me interested. Hopefully, like you said, that's not by design, and just due to the nature of Destiny as a beginning.

I really think the expansions are the real stories in Destiny.
