Quick question since this is a sword thread (I realize it's a little off topic) I took a break from destiny after year one, and just came back recently, and I'm currently in the exotic quest for the solar exotic sword (-blam!- the random helium filament loot btw) is there any way for me to get the other two exotic swords, or am I stuck with the solar one since that was the legendary sword I chose?

I'm in the same exact situation I've got bolt caster currently working on dark drinker.. pick up the legendary version of your liking from shaxx, put one of those useless 340 heavys into it and the quest starts itself

There is away to get all three swords at once. You have to get to a certain step in the quest line on one. Buy the others, increase their light(far easier now then previously,) resume the quest. It starts you off at the collect the hidden items. That part is still a pain but it allows you to skip a few steps in the beginning I believe. If all of the swords are at the final step you could kill all three right before killing alak-hul. I'd look it up to make sure it's done correctly but it saved me some time. I never did more than one at a time but it was possible. I was able to skip a lot of the steps though for the final two. Good luck.

Buy the other swords from lord Shaxx, level those up and the quests will drop. If you force level them via motes at the tower when you get it, you may need to go to orbit or do an activity to see him refresh for your quest line.
