When you do your personal story at the beginning and middle of the game…well… maybe even not so much the middle, the rewards are great and you actually use them.
Basically the last 1/2 – 2/3 of the personal story line, rewards are little more than a mediocre skin that you only chose b/c it was the best one out of 3 choices :/ …
These rewards should be impressive and original/unique to say the very least. I mean, these are the rewards for playing the actual “game” part of the game….the old-school 1 (or 2-5) vs PvE… You vs the computer… For Achieving success at the actual game’s storyline you should receive items which either compare or outshine rares, and exotics, on the rare, harder, later in the story line segments.
It seems stupid to me that out of sentimental value alone, 97% of the items I will never ever find use for the skins, I have like 2 storage tabs full of useless cr*p that I keep b/c I can remember, “O yah.. that time… that was fun”…. 
SOME IDEAS/SUGGESTIONS FOR RE-VAMP:
- exotic or even superior to comparable exotics for a couple/few of the last story segments.
- If these items are almost meant to be purely skin based for cosmetic reward, put more work into the actual appearance; make them unique as hell and give us more than pick 1 of 3…. how about pick 1 of 15?? (that way also everyone who chooses to use a particular type of skin does not choose the same one)
- Perhaps for the last 1 or 2 rewards, there is some sort of progress towards crafting a legendary.
- A new “tier” of weapon/armor, “Odyssey”/“Choice”/“Evolution” items??? Give them something “special” .. idk… maybe a buff to this or a stat combination unseen in the game thus far… maybe unique items?… a 2h melee spear?..who knows…
Make these re-vamped rewards completely unique to the certain path taken to end up where the reward is achieved… the middle-end storyline is basically permanent and the same for all, but earlier choices give that journey to get there a completely unique reward compared to a different choice earlier on.
As far as those who have already achieved their story’s competion:
Retro-Active rewards should be given out…
OR
The newly re-vamped rewards will be available upon re-completing you personal story, but the choices you made the 1st time stick and you follow the same path as before.
