Amazing work! I am pleasently surprised that finally someone adresses the fact that the Traveller helped humans have their life spawn tripled... making sure that a Golden Age would occur. It's a small thing to be mentioned, but it gives allot of understanding why species thrived under the Traveller. Longer life spawns = More technology progress

I've been looking for something like this for so long. So many other "story of Destiny" videos cover things either chronologically in-universe, or some other format like covering one faction at a time, etc. But IMO this approach looking at the actual content releases makes way more sense for players just trying to understand where we are and how we got here. Thank you!!!

Couple of quick notes: 1. Clovis Bray is Elsie's and Ana's grandfather, not father. 2. Ahsa is a proto worm God; aka what the worm Gods used to be before the Witness found them. 3. The civilization that preceded the Witness was not in agreement about what the Final Shape actually was; they only combined after the violence that followed the Traveller's departure. 4. We don't know if the Traveller and the Witness have anything to do with the Gardener and the Winnower. Specifically the Winnower is confirmed to NOT be the Witness. Otherwise, great video! Its hard summarizing such a vast and complicated story so having something condensed down to only 40 min is great.

one error i would like to point out is the traveler didnt actually choose to stay and protect humanity, Rasputin forced it to stay/ delayed its departure, long enough to were it was forced to fight. although the lore on that is pretty old and is mostly left over from destiny's originally planned story of the traveler not being a completely benevolent being, so take it as you will

Gotta be honest, I played a bit of Destiny 1 and also tried to get into Destiny 2 here and there. (Before it got f2p and trying to return multiple times afterwards) Destiny 2 always interested me, but I never really got the hang of it and quite frankly was absolutely overwhelmed by it. When I last gave it a shot - and thanks to one of your videos I learned the systems - I was demotivated after finding out that stories where vaulted and I wasn't able to play everything. Now with Final Shape I decided to take another look, because the Witness really caught my interest. Watching this video now made me sad for all the amazing story parts that I missed, but also really motivated me to keep going now and finally get into the game for real. Thank you very much!

I hope the longer version goes on tangents to explain them in greater detail, and also the gameplay and locations a bit.
