'As for the quests, theyвЂ™re pretty average all around. At least Nolan North can be endearing at times as the Ghost, especially when he quips about falling from great distances being your strong suit or reminiscing about finding you after a certain Exotic quest is complete. And no, adding new Grimoire that I can read on an app or website isnвЂ™t the same thing. ItвЂ™s amazing to think the story-telling has taken a step backward since then though itвЂ™s still better than vanilla Destiny. Why canвЂ™t I learn more about Efrideet, Timur, Felwinter and the other Iron Lords from quests in the game? The Taken King even gave some life to the relationship between Variks and Petra Venj following the QueenвЂ™s disappearance in the Reef. Yes, it was sad when Jolder died in the opening cutscene but who is Jolder as a person? She and Saladin probably had a thing but is my sole emotional connection meant to be her weapon and her death making him sad? While The Taken King expanded everyoneвЂ™s character significantly, introducing the concept of banter (novel idea, we know) between the Vanguard and Eris Morn, Rise of Iron is content with simply throwing out names. Rise of Iron is actually fairly bereft of interesting characters. Unfortunately, while Saladin has a fair bit of characterization and great voice acting, he doesnвЂ™t have the insane charisma of Cayde-6 or as much well written dialogue. A new zone opens up with The Plaguelands and through dialogue snippets, youвЂ™ll hear of a crazed Archon Prime attempting to augment himself with SIVA. Despite the urgency of the initial mission, thereвЂ™s no sense of overwhelming danger, especially when you consider that the frigginвЂ™ Wall has been breached. Naturally, the Vanguard decides to send you вЂ“ their favourite mass murderer вЂ“ to investigate and the result is a run-in with Sepiks Perfected, a rampant replicating virus known as SIVA and attacks on the great Wall. There are these Fallen invading an old observatory on Felwinter Peak. Lord Saladin of the Iron Banner has a problem. If you wanted to learn more about the Iron Lords, invest in their stories, undertake a perilous journey to become one and maybe learn more about the Darkness itself, then Rise of Iron will do its bare minimum to sate you. It showcases so much potential for ideas and stories but settles on an adequate, middle of the road balance. HereвЂ™s the problem though вЂ“ more than anything else before, Rise of Iron illustrates just how far Destiny has to go. ' Rise of Iron is actually fairly bereft of interesting characters.' By comparison, Rise of Iron is a smaller offering in terms of content and itвЂ™s priced $10 less. That is, until The Taken King released last year and brought sweeping changes to its characters, progression systems, loot and quest structure. I was an Iron Lord by this point, bestowed with relics like a flaming sword and a revitalized Gjallarhorn.ДЄnd yet despite how it sounds over a few minutes, DestinyвЂs Rise of Iron still manages to elicit a somewhat bored вЂњIs that all?вЂќ from its offerings.Д«ungieвЂ™s Destiny has always had problems with content. A looming, cable-infested, red-tinged neon lair of horrors and Splicers. The ascent to the top was followed by a descent into one of the many hearts of Darkness conquered till now. Wielding a giant flaming axe in battle to conquer a techno-organic virus eventually led to traversing the innards of the opposing Wall. These ancient warriors of the Golden Age вЂ“ I had finally learned of their fates. Ascending the winter-worn steps from a bygone era, my Guardian stood beneath the statues of the Iron Lords.
