The story in Destiny 2's expansions is generally regarded as decent and engaging, with many players appreciating the depth and character development compared to earlier installments. While some find the content repetitive and the grind frustrating, others highlight the captivating narrative and improved NPC interactions that enhance the overall experience. Overall, the storyline is seen as a significant improvement, providing a satisfying blend of solo and multiplayer missions that keep players invested.
“However, if you want to experience this expansion on your own before listening to the haters, it's a fantastic expansion. Yes, being a Destiny 1 veteran, there are a lot of elements from Destiny 1 that have been brought back, but it's also been upgraded in so many ways—armor, weapons, mods, supers—and the storyline is great.”
“Not only is the story good, but they gave the NPCs in the game some actual soul; they are more than just people to receive rewards from.”
“For once in the five years I’ve been playing Destiny (I was a beta player), I felt something with the storytelling.”
“The average: story is meh.”
“The actual story itself takes about six hours.”
“Yeah, my favorite character got offed, leaving us with a pack of OCD know-it-all leaders like Zavala... but the story makes sense and adds to gameplay massively.”

“While the music has potential, it often feels out of place and detracts from the overall atmosphere.”
