Destiny 2 - Lightfall Dialogue Differences

Compared to the past expansions, Lightfall does not have nearly as much veteran dialogue which is a little disappointing since Calus has had some presence in the game since its launch. I've also included some lines from Season of the Lost and Season of the Seraph as well as veteran lines from the pilgrimage patrols on the Moon.
All footage was recorded and edited by myself.

[@kaukospots]

The Neomuni not knowing much about Exo is interesting, cause it dates them leaving to before the Exo program started

[@Coratorium]

There was a line in the Spire of the Watcher lore where Clovis said that there were Exos on the colony ships that Soteria was sending out, including the one that (presumably) crashed on Neptune. Additionally, I got a Neomuna Civil News broadcast at one point (during Terminal Overload, I believe?) where Jisu mentioned that Exos had been presumed extinct, and that the Neomunans were surprised to learn that there were several living Exos in the system still. I suspect they had a few surviving Exos on Neptune centuries ago that have all since died out because they had no ability to replicate, but I can't say for sure- the new stuff about the Ishtar Collective landing a colony project here intentionally, in addition (?) to Soteria's wayward ship from Spire, has me a bit confused on the early history of Neomuna.

[@Lylybeebee]

What we learned from Spire of the Watcher seems to imply that the collapse was already imminent by time the ship was launched, as that’s what caused soteria to launch it earlier

[@dovahfruit9503]

they simply thought the exos went extinct, as was even mentioned in game. the exo program was definitely well underway before the collapse

Hold up. Toland had new dialogue?! I almost forgot about him! Hopefully Bungie brings him back in Season of The Deep

[@pxm2337]

Doesn’t look like he did. It was just some dialogue the uploader missed from shadowkeep from the looks of it. Although, Devrim and Toland share the same voice actor so it’s not out of the question for them to decide to make new lines for that opportunity.

[@raptormaverick4774]

@@pxm2337 Either way, it has been a very long time since Toland was mentioned in the story. Since Nezarec became a person of interest over time, hopefully the same can happen to Toland too.

[@HibiscusOrchid]

Iirc, toland merely resides on his tiny rock of a 'throne world' and just roam around like a grumpy ghost whenever taken/hive/ascendant plane relevant. I dont think he would be plot important, so to speak, until his intimacy is needed. Even then, now that Mara Sov is alive and active, she's a much better source of plot and knowledge than Toland in that aforementioned regard If Toland is to be relevant, it's more than likely another focus into Eris and the Hive. Maybe once Xivu comes into play but Mara has already encountered her in a throne world battle so once again, she'll more likely be the medium for plot. A shame, we had a lot of Toland lore in D1 and the best we got is a passive aggressive wisp

[@juanjox2006]

@@raptormaverick4774 considering toland was a very mentioned character from even D1, and nezarec its just mentioned en D2 nezarec sin exotic + they hired his VA again + the line between light and dark its now almost completely broken, i would almost EXPECT him to be a major character in the next seasons/expansion

4:30 Argyrosis - ‘a condition caused by chronic exposure to chemical forms of the element silver. The most recognized symptom is the dramatic blue or bluish-grey colored skin.’

[@adambrown6669]

It's nice to see some of these things happening, it seems at times elements of the past are ignored in most dialogue and cutscenes. Hell even with the exo stranger she doesn't acknowledge the fact we met her aaaaall the way back in D1 to deal with the vex and the black heart. That would be a neat callback for veteran players... That and callbacks to us being an iron lord, our defeat of various different bosses from the past and so on... It's nice to have the game acknowledge the fact that some of us happen to have played a part in events from the beginning to now.

[@MyceliumMong]

Damn going all the way back to vanilla d1 is a nice touch I gotta find that spot that Toland is in for that dialogue

[@poomanjones4853]

It’s such a cool idea that the young wolf could have commanded the entire taken army and oryx’s army . Maybe that’s how the guardian can help overthrow the witness and claim his army of taken and hive from xivu arath.

[@Lylybeebee]

Maybe that’s how the Hive inevitably join us instead of the Lucent Brood joining us. Although it’s more likely they stay “squandered” and either Savathun or Xivu (more likely Xivu given Sava has discarded the sword logic) eventually take them

[@GravitonLance]

​@@Lylybeebee the lucent brood is slowly losing the sword logic because of the light in savathun's throne world

[@Lylybeebee]

@@GravitonLance Thats what I meant by "Sava has discarded the sword logic"

[@GravitonLance]

@@Lylybeebee what i meant is that the lucent brood will be most likely the first to join us because they lost the sword logic so they don't need to kill to survive (basically evolving back to the krill), and the original hive has to kill to live and grow so it's unlikely they're going to join us

Congenital Argyrosis, (Argyrosis, derived from the Greek word for silver (argyros), is a condition caused by chronic exposure to chemical forms of the element silver.
