Why cannot Bungie replicate this depth of storytelling in Destiny 2!? It doesn't make sense!

[@GameArchon215]

It actually does make sense, but it doesn’t make it any less infuriating. Since Activision left, Bungie has less people and resources. Some of Bungie’s writers might’ve had to be reassigned to programming roles, which means a less developed story.

[@IronworkerGaming]

@@GameArchon215 Even at the beginning of D2 the story just felt very hollow to me. While Forsaken was a definite bright spot in the franchise and the exception. Even with when Bungie/Activision were firing on all cylinders they have had a tough time capturing real feeling in their storytelling.

@Boat Its obvious he's completely lying

[@yogmesh]

Damn, I'd forgotten how good it was to have story missions that led to strikes, and strikes that continue the story. Especially with the Taken King, everything felt connected, everything felt as though it advanced the story. With D2 it feels as though we clock into work, do our daily chores, none of which advances the story, then wait to clock in the following day.

[@tarekomar54]

I really dislike strikes in d2, their design and weak stories coupled with some irrelevant strike specific loot make me miss binging strikes in d1 even more

[@austey8969]

Maverick Those strikes were literally a part of the campaign. No shit it’s gonna be connected in some way.

[@austey8969]

Yea. D2 strikes are shitty. The bosses are rarely unique. Just larger versions of enemies we’re already fighting. They’ve gotten much better with making unique strike bosses tho.

[@not.skywalker]

So you seem a bit confused about the story in D2 atm, which is understandable. The seasons do tie together like bungie says, and once you realize what’s going on it’s a bit more clear. At the end of shadowkeep, we get the unknown artifact. This sends a signal to the black garden, which we go and investigate (garden of salvation). We kill the raid boss and find where the artifact was signaling to, which in turn upsets the garden vex, causing them to assault the moon. We end these assaults by eventually killing the undying mind for a final time, however doing so breaks time on mercury. We begin using the sundial to fix the timeline, but what remains of the red legion sees this as an opportunity to redo the actions of the red war, so they can win. We stop them and bring back saint-14, trials starts again, etc... Once the red legion realizes they failed to reset the timeline, they pull one last card and set the almighty adrift on course to destroy the city and damage the traveler. In response we team up with Rasputin to help destroy the almighty and save the city. While all of this is going on, the pyramids/darkness are still on approach, which is clearly shown in the Io bunker map. According to bungie, next season everything will lead up to the arrival of the first pyramids, which finally will tie into whatever big content we get this fall (likely a large DLC and not D3). Hope this clears any confusion up! :)

[@bananatank9048]

Triangle ships/darkness = the Huns or mongols coming to the solar system

[@NovemberHotel]

VJMPX That's fair, it just feels put together in such a haphazard fashion and only connect because bungie forced them to and doesn't feel as natural as something like malok rising as a next taken king or even how taken king connects to forsaken. These seasons, (while they do connect) aren't done well in at least my opinion. But I understand if you disagree.

[@not.skywalker]

NovemberHotel oh no, totally agree. Bungie definitely could have done this better but eh, I digress. I do like the way everything played out with Malok though!

[@grisly5445]

Thank you for making this. I stopped playing after forsaken and I’m just now getting back into d2. I can’t hold myself to playing d2 for long periods of time which makes me sad because I never had that problem with d1. I played d1 since year 1 and pretty much did everything you possibly could In that game. Even though it gets a lot of hate, I love d1 so damn much. I have such good memories like doing kings fall with my buddy’s at 4 in the morning. D2 just doesn’t feel like d1 to me and In my opinion, that’s a bad thing

[@not.skywalker]

DogHog YT thanks! Too bad you haven’t had more time to play, but I get what you mean with D1 feeling completely different than how D2 is rn

[@codysmall6826]

I always liked the hive/taken lore. Malok served as an example that even the lowliest of the low could rise to the peak of power through the sword logic.

Thanks to you for reminding me how great this game was.

[@imagoloop4819]

Bungie said that the seasons would have a connected story. Please tell me how this years story is connected. It is basically hive on moon then vex invade for some reason then cabal invade mercury, then cabal hijack the almighty and soon siva will be introduced. None of this makes any sense

[@MrVidman14]

Dont forget the dreaming city, the story of which was just stopped with no sign of concluding

[@saltycandy245]

There was a connected story because there were constant content droughts and people were unhappy. The Seasonal systems in D2 in my opinion are far better conceptually but fall short in its execution. There were basically 3 updates for TTK. Festival of the Cost, Dawning, and April Update.

[@madimot]

Pyramid shows up on moon. We get inside pyramid. We find artifact thingy that leads us to the Black Garden. We invade the Black Garden in Garden of Salvation. The Vex are understandably upset about this and stage a counter-attack, the Vex Offensive, which leads to us killing the Undying Mind. Messing with time like this makes the Infinite Forest freak out, and while Osiris is distracted, the Red Legion take over his Sundial. We kill the three Psion Flayer sisters leading the operation and stop the Cabal. The Red Legion then stage a last ditch effort to get back at us, planning to use the Almighty to destroy the Last City and probably the entire Earth as a bonus. The Red Legion's actions here are likely led by Amtec, the fourth Psion Flayer sister who wants revenge for her sisters after the events of the Sundial. The Guardians' plan to prevent the Almighty's crash is to use Rasputin, and Rasputin's connection to SIVA then leads us there.

[@_Youri_]

Madimot wow... nice one lol

[@LoganArcania]

Pretty much the only part that has no connection at all is the psions finding the sundial on mercury, which is only part of the reason the timeline broke, the other half being us going through time lines to kill the undying mind and its invasion to the pyramid

In the final room where you fight Malok the last time is a secret room in the back. I did the strike many times in D1 and it opened only twice for me and my friend. Inside is a big taken like generator. Has anybody else experienced this? It’s in the room where the Phalanxes spawn while you hide from the boss.

My favorite strike of all time was The Wretched Eye. I loved it because of its story, but more importantly, I loved it for it's atmosphere. The build up to the real reason why the Splicers have been hoarding Hive. The Sick, Twisted, Abhorrent reason the Splicers have capturing Hive. In a way, we traded one evil, for a brand new one. And then you got Kovik (I loved the quest name too, Kovik's Sin...it's one hell of a sin he's been commiting!). Transformed into something more than Fallen. Rise of Iron was my favorite Expansion alongside the Taken King.

The boss fight was challenging BUT fun when it was the Nightfall and certain modifiers. That’s one thing I miss (and I’m sure everyone else) challenging missions but fun ones where you NEED to communicate and have a strategy.

And then there’s the Axiom Bolts he shoots at you and burning ground. That is how a nightfall should be !!

Bungie should make a lore book that talks about certain enemy, then later you fight that via enemy. You know the storyline behind the fight before the fight. It would make it more interesting

[@DrakeTheCaster]

The follow-up to TTK was pretty damn good in general. Malok is great example- however the fact that many of the Taken were trying to claim the throne afterward was the most interesting thing. I kinda wish/hope the Taken would have maintained their own identity separate from Hive control after Oryx. They could still try this with Quoria possibly betraying Savathun. That would be the plot-twist of the century.

[@xxEpicxGunnerxx]

I heard “saynotorage” say we shouldn’t complain about the content. D2 has more content than d1 with the seasons and that we are just spoiled. I say no to this statement. Sure we may have more content, but what’s the wealth of content mean if it’s all garbage and exactly the same as everything else. The loot pools are always the same, exotics hardly feel exotic anymore say for the new heir apparent, and overall activities haven’t changed significantly since forsaken. Another thing I hate, I absolutely hate, is the inconsistency between the story portions. Bungie needs to stop leaving cliffhangers for everything and finish one fucking story in game. Not through fucking lore tabs.

Also where did you get the idea that I was going to attack you? As you seem very defensive. I mean sure I personally feel like TTK is a little better then forsaken. But that doesn't mean that forsaken was not great. Because it was pretty awesome. I just personally liked TTK better and its ok for people to like different things. Also in terms of the dry spell complaints thats kinda what this community does when we feel like there is nothing to do...sure its not an appropriate response but it's kinda one we give during the desert that was season of the worthy (though the felwinters lore was cool).

I really wish Bungie would at least do quests like this instead of hiding the entire story behind lore tabs

You have a really good lore voice

I remember when each boss battle felt so cool at the end. They weren't COMPLETE pushovers, although some were easier than others. It use to feel so intense. Now that same intensity is locked behind fireteam matchmaking, which is just annoying. I don't know anyone who wants to run through legend NFs for plain old fun.

I just hit level 40 on my new character. I still love this game.

I think that Nokris comes close to Malok in terms of character. Nokris is the disowned son of Oryx, cast aside and shunned by his kin for his lack of strength and his obsession with Necromancy, heresy to the Hive. But while Nokris was not as strong as his brother, Crota, he made up for it in cunning and intelligence. His hunger for knowledge drove him to seek communion with Xol, Will of Thousands, one of the Worm gods. Like Nokris, Xol was the weakest of his kin, but harboured the secrets of life and death. Like Oryx before him, Nokris made a pact with the Worm god. In exchange for his servitude, Xol granted Nokris the secrets of Necromancy, and was wiped from history by Oryx. Nokris had the potential to be a cool antagonist, and major player in the Destiny universe, but Warmind scrubbed his potential. But at least his story continues in Season of Arrivals, which is acr connected to Shadowkeep unlike the last two seasons.
