How can you say Destiny needs better writers? The story behind the game is breathtaking, and there is nothing else even remotely like it. The depth to the lore and how far it goes beyond the current mission or even the campaign itself is amazing. [i]There’s a whole novel hidden in the Books of Sorrow from D1, for crying out loud![/i] The story was splotchy in D1 but it was there… even in D2, the story with Curse of Osiris is amazing it just came out pathetically in the story missions. [b]It isn’t the writers that are the problem with Bungie, and it hasn’t been for the entirety of the Destiny franchise post-release.[/b]

Delivery method. It is not sufficient to just have great ideas, they need to do a lot better to deliver them to the end user. I have played the game and read some of the obscure stuff on the website and still have only a vague idea of the universe, I would give them an F in a writing class. Also the story is not breathtaking it is derivative from a ton of other work. If you pay attention and have read enough you can figure out what writers and mythologies they have ripped off.

If you’ve read the first game’s Grimoire (and actually bothered to collect dead ghosts and calcified fragments to get more of it) and scanned stuff in D2... you’d have much more than a “vague understanding” of the game’s lore. There’s a ton there; sure the delivery method for it was (and really still is) garbage, but I reiterate that the writers aren’t at fault for that.
