I get that I won't be able to do the new stuff, but it sounds like the crucible and strikes are locked off as well.

You won't be locked out of everything. You'll still be able to play the vanilla playlists, they are obligated to leave something there for non-dlc owners.

I think it will be similar to the last DLC, where you won't be able to play the highest lvl strike playlist. For the first 3 weeks I didn't have the dark below, the only playlists I was locked out of was the Dragon playlist and the new PvP maps. What sucked about it was they changed the reward tiers, so I couldn't play challenging strikes, couldn't earn as many marks, or any engrams.

That was an artificial obstacle that basically did this: It didn't prevent me from playing the game, but it did make me question WHY I would keep playing without access to the new toys.
