@metaltao Not a single opposing race in this game has any hint of personality. Their only motivation for doing anything they do is because they're evil. Mechanically, the different races are very similar (they all have a fast, weak unit that charges you and melees you, an average, gun wielding unit, a bulky, shielded unit, then some sort of flying unit).
The thing is, writers in a game like this want you to take a certain side. They don't want you sympathizing with the enemy or liking them at all. A lot of the times, in order to make sure this doesn't happen, they just make the enemy braindead drones with no redeeming qualities. It has the intended affect, it makes you hate them. I hate most of the enemies in Destiny so far, not because they're evil, but because they're boring.
They also introduce new enemies way too quickly, they don't have enough time to expand on the enemies they've already introduced.
