10 Fatal Issues That Finally Killed Destiny

6. The Characters That Aren't Given A Chance To Stand Out

Bungie
Quick, name a character from Destiny's main campaign. Someone BESIDES Ghost. We'd probably have to wait for a while, as no characters from the main game truly stand out. It's likely due to the fact that any time these characters speak in one of the game's extremely rare cutscenes, they're very likely to give an excuse why they can't go into much detail on the plot, then leave you with more questions than answers. That's the case with The Speaker, Exo Stranger and the Queen of the Reef, as well as her jerk Prince brother. Why don't we take time to learn about these characters that make up this game? Cayde-6 (voiced by Nathan Fillion) was a huge standout as he brought a unique personality to the table, and was actually given fun lines to deliver throughout TTK's campaign. Imagine what transformations could develop if other characters, like The Speaker or Exo Stranger, even our main robot Ghost were given their own memorable moments to flourish in? Give them backstories, give them their moments in the spotlight. Who knows, maybe they'll actually be allowed to be memorable? No story can have too many memorable characters.
