Traveler was evil in early story, but they would be dumb to ditch that idea. They won't. I think the story won't change that much.
They hired the writer of Guild Wars for the story. Let him do his work. From Destiny 2 we'll experience a great story as it was intended from Destiny 1.
They might wait for the reveal of the evil Traveler but he surely is.

Evidence for that theory. Almost nil besides a scrapped story. Evidence that the traveler is good. [b]Literally everything in the game[/b]

No, that'd make for a terrible story. Wow. Some guy is a good guy. Nope. He's not. The end. There is little to build off of. No hope for the future, no nothing. Just because an idea is fun to toy with, it does not really mean that the idea would make for a great story. In Harry Potter, someone could've used a TimeTurner to kill Voldemort as a child. Sure, it'd be amusing, intriguing, and entertaining to think about. In practice, though, it'd be terrible for the plot.

I guess you have never seen mission impossible? That's just about every one of there plots... Also Fast and Furious 6... and a ton of movies that have twists like that... It's really not that uncommon
-
No, I know. It's hugely common. But not when that character is the godly being it is that conveniently has insane power and lives at your doorstep. The way it's set up already would quite possibly ruin the progress that the Taken King made. It's easy to screw up, easy to say, "well, why continue playing if everything is guaranteed shit for the next 8 years?". For the record I've never seen any of the mission impossibles. I know, I know, shameful.

Hey, I can't shun you for not having seen Mission Impossible. Everyone has that Pop-culture thing that they never get into. That said, I think they could pull it off if they do it carefully. I personally am skeptic of the travler and the speaker... so yeah.

They pretty much completely scrapped the original story and started from near scratch
-
Yes that's what they said. But high chance they keep the elements of the early story. Meaning that we will see Chicago and the European Dead Zone and stuff.
-
Gameplay elements, yes, they kept. The Dreadnaught is proof of this. But much of the lore was tossed out the window
-
Let's hope the new story will give us goosebumps like it gave us with the Halo story then.
