Title.
The story is largely inaccessible for new players, adding a vendor or resource to get New Lights up to speed with current and past story would be excellent. As it stands, there's very little explanation for what's going on and what's gone on in the past.
Who's Variks? Who's the Stranger? What are the pyramids? What happened to the planets swallowed by Darkness? Who's Eris?
It'd be something for Ikora to do as well, maybe. She's the leader of the Hidden, she's probably been sitting on a massive repository of information.

You know what was great? When bungie made a triumph that rewarded you with a code for a digital version of the first of those big lore books they're making. They need to do that more often rather than only selling incredibly expensive hardback versions.

I don’t understand how they expect new players to care about the story without letting them experience past stuff. How do they know what the Red War is or who Oryx is?

Thank Neptune the Ishtar-Collective is set up in a reasonably accessable way to do some lore digging

Honestly, I’m surprised they don’t have some type of in-game codex. Giving out basic information in regards to who’s who and all.
-
Definitely rough, but the real issue is that they sunset all the content that explains 99% of what you asked for. Maybe they could at least put out some lore cards or cutscenes or something to summarize each adventure, mission, raid, etc. But I'm not sure what else they could [i][b]realistically[/b][/i] do.

Pretty sure that's what new light is for.

1 RespuestaIn Mass Effect the lore was in the codex in the menu but the thing was alot of the codex was narrated for you so you could sit back and listen to the lore I loved that about mass effect among other things. I would sit back and listen to and read all of the lore.

Omg dude don’t post this. This community is about to give Bungie a -blam!-ing Academy award because there has been actual dialogue the last two seasons haha never mind all of your valid points. Never mind that the story changes and hops all over the place for whatever drought they need to fill with BS. Never mind that they cut whole expansions that have actual story in them for whatever made up reason. BUNGIE DOES A GREAT TELLING STORIES… according to most of the super him forum nerds that respond to these posts.

1 RespuestaAs a player from the beginning, I still don’t understand the pyramids and who these friendly NPC’s are lore wise. They are just people who want their chores done for little or no reward.
-
1 RespuestaFunny enough bungie is looking to hire a “Lore Master” so whatever they have cooked up for accessibility when it comes to in game lore it must be big or least better Hey at least it isn’t like dark souls, TONS of lore but extremely hard to really get it all

2 RespuestasThere’s some solid destiny lore guys on YouTube which have done a better job than bungie could ever pull off. But I see your point
-
Story is good but requires too you to find it anywhere but in the game
-
1 RespuestaIt’s not like all that information isint easily accessible. It’s called the internet. The only reason I say this is because bungie barely has resources to make new content at this point and you want those limited resources to be spent catching up new light people who are too lazy to use google or YouTube. That’s like me walking into a movie theatre halfway and asking them to rewind it or for everyone to stop and explain everything. New light and game pass may be free but you get what you pay for.
-
2 RespuestasThere is an in-game resource. Go to where your Triumphs are and on the right side you’re gonna see a little thing called the LORE TAB. Where the LORE of the game is. It’s all right there. Go read it.

If you play Destiny for the story, you're going to have a bad time.
-
That's what I don't like what they did to previous expansions. They're taking out major parts of the story. Instead of trying to put everything into this game (new and old), they should've just gone ahead and made D3.

1 RespuestaWhen ever I see new lights I like to tell them, "You didnt know what it was like during the red war😞"

If you mean some time of narrative to flashback and talk about destiny 1 while having a lot of it either be cutscenes or a scrap book. I’m sorry but do you realize what developer your talking about. This is bungie. They are to lazy to do anything like that. An since they didn’t come up with it they won’t acknowledge your idea. Don’t get me wrong yea it’s a decent idea but it would be to much work and effort that bungie doesn’t want to put into the game.
-
There's barely any story in it now. Mostly it's told through lore and adio with the actual gameplay just being a repainted version of things we have already done.
-
1 RespuestaFirst off, some questions can be answered by playing D1. Second off, by doing past campaigns you were told almost everything. However now that past campaigns are gone, you can’t do that. So through reading lore and just playing, you had the whole story laid out for you. But Bungie took that away to “speed up servers” when it did nothing but confuse new lights. Bungie won’t really bother as that can all be explained through YouTuber’s. [spoiler]nibbles crayon[/spoiler]

I agree. So much of Destiny's story was either in the lore or no longer accessible to new players or those who haven't played in a bit. If the story was done like the past year has been, which has been amazing, then this wouldn't be a problem. Bungie could just create one long story quest that links all story lines together into one quest. However, given Destiny's rough history of story telling, most of the story before Beyond Light needs lore to make sense of. And then there is also the D1 story which is massive yet also mainly in lore. If Bungie is going to move forward with the solid narrative they have been running the past couple seasons, they seriously need a way to catch everyone up on the important details. Preferably not in a lore card or an exposition dump.

11 RespuestasEditado por Double07: 7/12/2021 5:31:37 PMThe problem is that the game fails to include something like the grimoire to explain the backstory of everything. https://db.destinytracker.com/d1/grimoire In D2, it’s just story books that focus on random characters doing things.
