Only explanation for the lack of... everything in the story, it got chop up to a point of no return. I don't need to read anymore information to confirm this, no one in their right mind would willingly write and deliver a story like this, especially not Bungie. Was it to sell the bits and pieces later? Was it because the story was too dark or did not fit the younger target audience? I have no idea. I'm sure those decisions were made a while ago, but too late to redo voice over and rewriting, so we were left with this awkward introduction to the World of Destiny. As the Stranger would say: [i]"... interesting but not entirely interesting..[/i]." An engaging story at the start would have sold many more DLC content in the future. My opinion.
