This is such a baffling, weird entry in the Destiny franchise. Gameplay, soundtrack, art, QoL changes and additions- everything is on point! Except for the narrative...
It's especially baffling since the narrative and overall story writing has been extremely consistent and pretty damn good for quite a while, since around Season of the Chosen and even elements of Arrivals/Beyond Light + Hunt. But the penultimate expansion of this saga is such a poor, unlucky place to suddenly have a misstep. And it's even more maddening because there are elements of the writing in THIS VERY EXPANSION that has great depth and potential for future build-ups. But the main campaign; the part of the story that everyone who is playing this DLC and is interested enough in the story is gonna focus on, is somehow drastically fumbled. Which just stinks to see. Hopefully is made up for with consistent quality of writing with the content drops leading into Final Shape.
