What Could Have Been (for Destiny): There is evidence that the game's story was going to be more elaborate, but Activision (being at fault here again! With Blizzard absolutely doing nothing at the time) ordered some parts of the story to be cut so that they could later release those parts as paid expansion packs.

A user on Reddit claiming to have played an early version of the game released plot details on the early build. Allegedly, the Traveler would be revealed to be Evil All Along, and is the true case of the collapse of Humanity's Golden Age. The Guardians were being tricked into finding the components necessary to revive the Traveler so that it could finish the job. The rest of the plot would be the players siding with renegade Guardians to prevent the Traveler's revival.

Even this was uncovered in --> www.TvTropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/YMMV/Destiny

Alternate Character Interpretation: The Traveler. Mysterious but benevolent Big Good that protects humanity in the face of extinction? Or a manipulative Eldritch Alien Abomination using an army of undead pawns for its own purposes?

Magnificent Bastard: The Darkness, considering it may be manipulating the Traveler, and be extension the Guardians, into doing exactly what it wants them to.

The Untwist: Possibly subverted with the Traveler; it really does love sentient life and just wants to help, but the Darkness is manipulating it to help specific races for it's own purposes.

It is so much that the game suffers on Cliché   Storm, Disappointing Last Level, It's Short, so It Sucks, Narm, Play the Game, Skip the Story, So Okay, It's Average, and They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot REALLY, Bungie! Really! I want to believe that Bungie didn't do this but seeing as there ARE expansion packs coming soon - and I had the little leaflet in the box advertising it - I'm becoming more and more unsure.

Please Bungie, tell us this isn't true...
