My advice would be to ignore it until it catches your interest, and just play the game. I was a daily player who stayed at current max LL from early in Destiny 1 until Destiny 2 Year 1, had all or nearly all exotics and raid weapons, most of the good Iron Banner gear, then got burned out. Returning now. I think I have some base D2 storyline bits still remaining, side quests and such; I have nearly completed Shadowkeep (killed the barons, have not confronted the Awoken guy); and, I have nearly completed Beyond Light (unlocked Stasis, froze the extremely chatty main boss) but have a few more missions to complete). For me as I do different activities, the storyline is incoherent. Sometimes Zavala is worried about one enemy, sometimes another. Every now and then, Cayde is still alive. Eris is in multiple places at once. For my own sanity, I started skipping all of the cutscenes, and just doing the mission listed in the Quests tab. OK, I need to go here and get 5 quest items to drop. Show me the way and don't worry about explaining why I am doing it. Maybe by February, I'll be up to speed and will care about the new expansion storyline.
