Okay so this is a concept for an idea I had, where, basically, you get to experience an event from the lore of the destiny universe that previously you could never explore, something that your guardian is not a part of.
What I basically mean is, say you could play as Lord Saladin in the Battle of Site 6, so we could truly experience the rise of Iron campaign. Or, say we could play as Ariana-3, or Toland, or Vell Tarlowe on the raid in Crota's End, so we could grow more in our understanding of the characters. I think, if implemented, this could truly connect us to the characters of the destiny universe. Maybe even something as deep as exploring the past of our own guardian, or Cayde-6, etc...
Likely to happen? Definitely not, as D3 has been in the works, but also because it would be difficult to make. I just want to know though, who would like it?
TL;DR: You can play through lore events, such as Lord Saladin at the Battle of Site 6.

This is what the Ikora meditations should've been
-
A better idea is for bungie to make a spinoff game where you get to play through Shaxx, Cayde-6, Zavala, Ikora, ect lives it would have to be single player/ local co-op. Bungie definitely has enough lore to a long single player game. The game can end with our ghost looking for us.
-
Why not use the infinite forest to go back to memorable moments in certain guardians lives like when Jaren Ward dies to Dregen Yor and Shin takes up The Last Word and Jareds ghost or when St.14 is fighting the Vex and how he died in his final moments. These wouldn't be action segments of the game, but it would be us looking in from the outside to learn more of the historic guardians that came before and fell to the darkness without succumbing to it or letting it define them
-
I was thinking the same thing a while ago. They could explain it as some “light lives is all things” BS or use Ikora’s meditation thing.
-
Perhaps in a spinoff or in comics. Lore cartoon series?
-
Well it would be cool, but a more realistic thing for destiny would be to have you experience strange flashbacks to your life before a guardian revealing important things about your character. (This [b]would[/b] have to include the guardians voice in order to work, maybe our guardian could get their voice back when this happens)
-
The sad part is bungie won't ever do something like this. Maybe before, when there was still some talent, skill, and passion workimg there. But everyone with any of that left or was fired by the time Destiny released
-
really important this guy has had a similar idea and it’s really good have a read https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/246433950/0/0

Soooo.... Steven universe?
-
Yes! This would be a great way to give us extra story missions or strikes. Maybe even give us specific loot?
-
They will never do that, but as im already here... i would like to see the Jaren Ward, Shin Malphur and Dredgen Yor story, the Battle of Six Fronts, Battle of Twilight Gap, Eris team attempt on Crota, Kabr team attempt of Vault of Glass, etc. Its a shame this is all folklore now.
-
I rather play as any of the Vanguard characters, and experience the things they went through when guardians were born....
-
Bungie make it happen!
-
I had the exact same idea a few months ago, I suggested re-using Ikora's meditations system to access these and move all the main story missions to the director as a node similar to strikes/crucible.
-
Sounds like it would be a good idea. I would like to see if they could have some secret exotics themed after the character or event if this was implemented
-
Hell yeah
-
this is an amazing idea!! needs to happen
-
I think it would be cool to see these flashbacks if you completed certain corresponding objectives. Using Destiny 1 as an example, if you completed the Iron Tomb and found all the SIVA fragments you could unlock the Saladin cutscene or something like that. Similarly, completing Crota’s End and collecting all of the Weapons of Sorrow would allow you to see a cutscene from Mare Imbrium or the first raid on Crota.

Bearbeitet von TeslaDoc: 6/20/2018 8:32:50 PMThis is a really good idea. It would be kinda cool if you could remember some details about your own past.
-
I feel like the events could play out in front of us. Similar to the mission in ESO where the prophet does that backstory thing as to how molag Bol is coming through from cold harbour. Now I’m not saying we can’t interact with the environment but we should get the option to not to. Like you could follow Shaxx or Saladin at the battle of twilight gap, they’d give exposition to the events through in flashback conversations and they’d be fighting enemies. Now the enemies would be killable but if you don’t shoot at them they’d leave you be, you’d just witness a longer flashback. If you did shoot at them and kill them all or something it’ll forward the flashback along a little and you’d miss stuff (possibly).
-
Well does that mean that your gear and abilities would be locked because cayde six with arc staff or a dawn blade ikora just doesn't make any sence, like the concept though.
-
Good idea, but Bungie haven't the man-power to make new content.
-
Diablo III had a similar element where you play a greater rift as another players character on a daily rotation. The objective is to beat the par time and there were rankings for best time. It doesn’t seem too far fetched to think bungie could include something like this as a way to help solo players if there were legit rewards involved. It’s probably too optimistic though.
