I don't know if I'm the only one who feels this way. Destiny's story is probably one of my favorites from any game in recent memory. The grimoire cards tell an amazing tale but that's pretty much where it ends. There's a lot of good stuff to work with but the closest I felt that they touched on it was just the raid for VoG, TTK, and then SIVA pretty much comes out of nowhere as an explanation for why the Iron Lords were wiped out.
SIVA itself isn't that great of an explanation either... I won't go into that tho.
I do like how they mentioned the Faction Wars a bit on the Gjallarhorn quest, but then there was no more... like... why can't they just expand on it or dive into it IN-GAME?! I just hope they use more of it in Destiny 2... or that they at least let you keep an in-game archive of it so that more people would be exposed to it.
I mean... c'mon... how cool would it be to have a quest that actually introduces you to Shin Malphur and the Shadows of Yor? Or for a raid against Savathun where she used Quria, Blade Transform and other Vex tech along with Hive magic... or reintroducing the Stranger! They could even add in the Ahamkara! I mean... there's a lot left in there... but those would be some things I'd like to see in there.
All in all, I just want the game to touch more on the amazing story it's built on.

this was actually one of the reason taken king was one of my favorite DLC, it wasnt a "oh look, a bad guy...you should probably go kill it." its a continuation of a stroy, the dreadnaught is a beautiful example of a location that tells a story. Youre rewarded for exploring Via calc. fragments. everything during the taken king was shrouded in this ominous mystery even the exotics at the time.
