Nice topic.
D1 > Never Played
D2 > Probably would break into a few parts
-- (this is all jumbled into one) There was a time when that Journey song hit around time of just starting (I would play that offline and look for people doing versions.. one on Piano I remembered really digging).. probably playing Red War campaign as f2pNewLight when everything was brand new and those cutscenes with Gaul.. those were really well done.. unlocking planets and seeing who lived there (not knowing lore or anything just thought different aliens on dif planets).. and acquiring my 1st meaningful exotic at Cayde's hideout/stash? > Riskrunner.
-- Finally able to hang in PVP. The first few times I went into crucible were horrible.. never wanted to try again. I was probably bored and decided to seriously give it a go after understanding a bit more on the weapons.. and it started clicking. The highest highs are making it through some engagements/situations that just come up randomly in PVP.
-- Had bought Witchqueen/30th anniversary combo.. left and came back early fall and that left so much good content, story, weapons and events (IMHO) that it was just a feast. I think I finished Witch Queen story, season of Defiance and season of the Haunted (maybe my favorite season of all), skipped Plunder (saw reviews and weapons not interesting).. and played.. maybe finished Seraph. So many weapons to chase (in a span of ~ 5 months).. the season of Haunted area on the moon (the crashed leviathan with infected/horror vibes) even the emotional story stuff (at first I was like oh come on.. but these were meaningful well done.. yep even Crow/Zavala.. well voice acted).. >> just want to point out during this time everything even missions were simple/easy it was about the story for me.. being in the world (no raids/dungeons).. the weapons galore making grind totally fine and then PVP was the hard mode and some success in Trials during this time was great too... honestly never thought I would get Shayura, Messenger, Eye of Sol, Igneous, Forgiveness..etc.

This is great. Sometimes it is telling when the audio hits the spot. I know you never played D1 but if you like D2 audio. Do try and give a listen to D1 audio. It was sensational!

Thx will look for D1 soundtrack. Also > absolutely worst sounds in the game for me, lol >> Hearing a Sweet Business rile up, firing a Suros Regime and Round Robin shots. Osteo and Centrifuse sounds in PVP are close 2nds. You should post your memories maybe as a reply to your comment.. -
Can we agree the worst sound is the Immortal? As for memories, here is my take:- D1: Probably the D1 beta. I remember watching the preview to the game during the E3 event and my best friend IRL and I said to each other we should pre-order and try the beta. I precisely remember the D1 beta and doing the Devil’s Lair strike and it taking us over FOUR hours to complete. We had no idea what we were doing but ended up exploring the entire are. Probably why Devils Lair is a sentimental strike/GM. D2: This touches on D1 but playing with the same people I began the D1 experience with but in D2 and continuing our clan. Beyond Light in my eyes was an incredible expansion and I think doing the DSC for the first time was a great moment too.

Haha agree that Immortal can be bad but it is not distinctive enough.. that high pitched Suros Regime.. the worst for me. I bet being ground floor to a game world you would be at 10 years later would be a memory - awesome. Appreciated the Fallen story line in Beyond Light as well...
