And the whole Clovis Bray side of the story and lore was amazing. The Deep Stone Crypt was cool as hell. And we got Elsie's backstory!!! So the "minor" stuff in Beyond Light was amazing. Eramis as the main campaign villain was... meh. I get it, she's angry that the Fallen have well... "fallen" so much from their great past. Scavengers worshiping a maimed god that abandoned them in their time of need, and bowing to ruthless dictators that starve them into submission. In theory, her story has some interesting points. But the delivery of her story was very "meh". We fought larger-than-average Fallen captain that can shoot ice at us. [b]Which Queen[/b] Witch Queen's main story was a lot more compelling. Even though it matched up to what some of us theorized for years (that the Traveler doesn't necessarily care about benevolence when picking Risen), it threw the faith of the entire secondary cast for a loop. It shattered their belief system. And Savathun was a better antagonist, in dialog + scenes + combat. There were personal stakes here: she was screwing with us for multiple seasons in one way or another. She took Osiris away from us and (more importantly) Saint 14. She turned our own powers against us. Prior to this, most of all of the ghosts we encountered were friendly and almost naïve, and now they're helping our enemies kill us. Witch Queen's main story was leagues ahead of Beyond Light. But I still really liked Beyond Light's background stuff (Clovis, Elsie, etc) [b]Seasons[/b] Meh. I get it, they're small and such so we aren't getting anything close to A-grade stories for the most part. Mostly just interesting stuff here and there. A) The whole "let's try to free Savathun so she helps us and so Mara can kill her" was cool. B) Crow's dilemma was interesting. First trying to remember who he was, and then trying to deal with the guilt he feels over who he was. C) Zavala actually got interesting back-story. I mean... damn. And it was actually sad. D) I'm kind of digging the new Fallen kid this season, a fresh change of pace from Spider and Missraks. E) Saint 14 realizing he was monstrous all those years ago, and trying to come to terms to it. Cool. But I've never been a major fan of the Seasons.
