Same goes for Destiny no? Everyone has the same campaign. Just because you set a race, gender and guardian type doesn't mean you can't make a campaign with a decent story. You're making excuses for something plenty of games have done better.

not the same at all,  differemt classes,  clans,  factions,  races,  missions are carried out solo or with other players the only set figure in the story is the speaker,  reach is full of set figures. 

the only difference using your multiplayer character in reach makes to the story is the skin of the character that plays the lead.  

 

i. e.  the game is set to make you the hero,  around a set in stone outcome. 

destiny attemps to make everyone heroes and in doing so puts a large portion of story in to the hands of players. 

 

the fact you are calling the acknowledgement of key structural differences "excuses"  says it all,  to me. 

What portion of the story is in your hands? You make it sound like Mass Effect when theres nothing that backs that up. Are the cutscenes not the same for everyone? Just because you can play on the same server as other people does not justify the story being underwhelming.
