Honestly, I’m actually really looking forward to the future of Destiny’s story. People have been saying it won’t be as interesting since nothing will top the Witness’ power and stakes, but we don’t need stakes that high again to make it interesting. We just need to be invested/interested, and there are a lot of neat plot threads to wrap up. Plus, Bungie seems to know this, since the “Final Days” quests both reminded us of several old plot threads and planted the seeds for new ones. All in all, there’s a lot to forward to.
People who say that don't know about The Winnower. other than that, there's still a lot of unresolved plotlines in destiny. Savathun is still alive, who knows what shenanigans she's up to. The eventual return of the Ahamkara from the eggs we got from Season of the Wish. Clovis Bray is still alive.
Its crazy to me that people think the Witness was the most interesting the destiny universe can get. We'll inevitably be going to Riis and Torobatl eventually, both of which have insane potential.
@@johnromero6315 Exactly. I think the next step is the reclamation of Earth. With the help of the allied Eliksni and Cabal, reclaiming the planet would be easier. There are also lore entires from Neomuna where some of the residents are considering lending earth their technology to help in the process. This is also hinted at with one cutscene from Echoes where one of Saint's wishes is to travel the cosmos. That just sounds like the further expansion of the human race.
The Exodus Crash Strike is an old year 1 strike. There are some differences here though, such as you starting inside a cave. Usually, this strike would make you start outside. I suppose this is the reprised version of the strike.
If it's "friendly" Vex content you want, I highly recommend keeping up with the seasonal (er, episodic) lore book. It contains several Guardian field reports regarding the unusual behavior of the Nessus Vex. My personal favorite is the one where a Vex is waving its hands enthusiastically at a Guardian. They wave back, exciting the openly friendly combatant, only for another Guardian to pull up on their Sparrow and blow the Vex to smithereens.
A bit of dialogue from Echoes describes the Vex perfectly "The Vex change the universe to suit them. Not the other way around" They're adaptive and strategic, but they don't "change"
@conchurfitzsimons570 That's the most fascinating part about The Conductor to me. They have full control over the vex and are forcing them to change to suit their own needs.
As a Destiny veteran, I’m shocked that it took nine expansions and twenty three seasons for Failsafe to finally be featured in the story proper again. The passive-aggressive jabs at the guardian and the vanguard are well deserved.
42:13 The Vex are already organic, it’s that white fluid in their robotic bodies. The images you were seeing while picking up samples is their most basic cellular form.
"Why did they take fishing away!?" EXACTLY!!! That was the ONE thing I loved the most from Season of the Deep, why couldn't we just have that still and deposit the fish somewhere in the City?!
I have my strong theories, but we’ll all have to wait to see what comes next. Either way, assuming that the thing in the echoes art is “The Conductor”, I am absolutely in love with its design
The Lore books for this season and the seasonal weapon/armor lore is also great. It elaborates on the 'emergent' behavior with the Vex and more interactions with Failsafe. They're great.
so far we know that the "echos" that came from the traveler were made from the light of the traveler mixing with all the darkness that was holding the witness together
the interesting thing about failsafe is that shes glitchy, but the glitched 'wrong' personality is the happy one, depressed failsafe is the real failsafe
@@terabellum and then, when you think about it it makes sense, you'd rather have a cynical ai to determine the habitability of a new planet you're colonising than an AI that'll make rabid man eating super insects seem like puppies
The strike is in fact the same Exodus Crash, but updated and refreshed a little. Just like Lake of Shadows, it was a totally different strike then compared to now
tbh im just happy that in the comments and specially you, are spreading some positivity. Ik destiny has/had a lot of problems/bad decisions. But this negativity just destroys the fun I still have overall witht this game
The Conductor is what Chioma called herself when doing her research on the veil. I think she succeded and mind melded with the veil but became trapped into the precursor meld. Once the witness was destroyed she was set free. Also Remember they always said that in the vex network there are 227 copies of her and Maya.
Terra, I don't want to be that guy, but Asher is gone, really gone. During the mission where we get vexcalibur, if we find all the secrets, dialogue and lore, we learn that he fully merged with the vex network so that we could get all the data the vex had on the veil, at the cost of his consciousness. Now he's just one mind among the many minds in the vex network, unable to be distinguished nor saved.
But didn't he appear in a spot and you could see him? Also, I forgot where or what mission or something but wasn't there also a harpy that had Morse code that translated to "Assistant" ? I think he is still himself somewhere in the network and could end up helping us.
@@Greenhawk4 That was way before, during Season of Splicer back in Beyond Light. The mission I talk about, which I know it had the name Avalon somewhere in it's name, where we learn of his fate, happens in Season of Defiance, during Lightfall, 2 years after Beyond Light.
@@dredgenrur3190 No but you could see him in the vexcalibur mission. So it seems like he is still himself in the network somewhere. He could end up helping through the network.
@@Greenhawk4 Yes you could see him, and the log where we know his fate is literally the last one you could collect during the mission, AKA, none of the times we've seen him happened after us collecting that log. Recording that log is literally the last thing he ever did before becoming one with the vexnet. He is gone, forever.
In enigma protocol, you saw in the corner that there is text below the radar. Those are actually our seasonal characters, and you can identify them by the id next to their name: Failsafe: AI-FS Osiris: OSI Saint: S14 Ikora: IKO Eido: EID There may be some I missed or haven't seen yet
@@victornecrofunk7061 I've been excited for the real Vex threat since early reacting to D1 videos. I really hope this is their time, the winnower can wait. 😅
You're theory on the things that shot out of the traveler, being a part of the witness is in fact correct. Bungie told us that the orbs are parts of the witness that fell off as we defeated it.
I'm not sure if anybody else noticed this, but in that last mission, as you progress, snipers spawn behind you while you're pushing towards the spire. I could be wrong but I also don't remember vex doing things like that either, and I thought it was weird when it happened, they usually spawn in high up vantage points, but deliberately behind you and not just because you're progressing too fast? I thought it was a nice additional touch they added if I'm not wrong
My editing timeline has gotten significantly jumbled due to life changes. But I think act 2 and 3 videos will be coming within the month and will likely be close together! Thanks for waiting! 🫡
I’ve got a theory as to what’s going on and I think a lot of the lore community is on at least a similar wavelength. I’ll share my thoughts below the ‘read more’ tag so anybody who doesn’t want to engage doesn’t have to. So I have a few ideas. The Precursor Vex don’t have collars like the compelled ones do; they’re also referred to as choral vex. It matches the music convention with the conductor and cleft. But this whole conductor thing sounds eerily similar to what Maya Sundaresh was doing in her experiments with the Veil. Maybe her consciousness somehow survived and moved on. Or maybe this is one of the hundred copies of her that was released into the Vex network. The lore entries I’ve read that *seem* to come from this mysterious conductor’s perspective don’t make a lot of sense yet, but they read as if written by a human, maybe even one who was around in the Golden Age. That matches up with the data the Vex are storing in the network not to mention the figure on the episode keyart. The outstretched hand looks very human. What I don’t understand yet is all of the new plantlife and matter popping up with the new transformations Nessus is undergoing. I’m not sure where or what it’s being pulled from, but I don’t recognize it from anywhere. I know there’s other stuff in Enigma Protocol too, like speculation of Quria’s return, but I haven’t delved too deep into all of that yet. And of course, what exactly the anomaly is and what it can do has yet to be revealed as well. We’ll have to see where things go from here.
Hey! Have you by any chance thought of starting a Discord community? I'd be really happy to hang out with more like-minded Guardians who actually enjoy the Story of Destiny 2 and don't constantly bitch about it. :)
Wait ok theory time. If this conductor saying to Saint that he’s fake and from a different timeline put into our timeline that can say the same to Elise Bray (Exo Stranger) cause she from a different timeline. Also since “it” can control exos then OOOHHH NNNOOO AAANNNAA!!! WHERE ELISABETH??
Anyone else realized that Ghost didn’t say a word in this entire video, 😢 I wonder why, you’d think he has at least something to say to Failsafe, give some kind of commentary
The vex are always interesting, the problem is that Act 1 was definetely too slow start. I know things get more interesting in acts 2 and 3, but first impressions are important😅
@@terabellum oh yeah, it will. The problem is that these episodes will all be like this: act 1 is meh and acts 2 and 3 will be better (with new activities,the exotic mission and more cutscenes), and I don't think that this structure will help on the long term
i'm confused dude, you keep saying you want her have a body, but then said maybe we should never give her a body for her Yundare potential, then you say again you still upset we didn't give her a body still a nice review btw
you should watch some videos from Byf or Evaze. from the vids I've seen, you've only delved into the main story. you've yet to delve deeper into the more specific pieces of lore that you'll only know by reading the text entries in the collections or items. and there are A LOT. perhaps some dungeon/raid lore would be a good start. like Rhulk and Nezarec.

Honestly didn’t expect to get this so soon was expecting you to wait for all 3 acts, but man I am so down for this.
I was definitely thinking about it, but I'll be diving into Dawntrail videos very very soon and I didn't want the Destiny audience to feel unloved. 😅
@@terabellum well I’m feeling loved rn so I think you succeeded
Saint-14, a non-organic human who was risen by a ghost named Geppetto, is now wondering if he's a real boy.

4:36 😌
The high polished, white and gold Vex are actually Precursor Vex. Another variation of the Vex like the Sol Divisive.
So what you're saying is... maybe there's a hope for gross fleshy vex at the hands of the Conductor in the future? 😂
@@terabellumUnfortunately, that’s not the case. Vex from the far future are called Descendants; they’re dark, rusted and have rounded heads.

I'm so upset that I laughed at this.
Maybe we will fully build her into the helm by the end of the episode. Would work well with all the talk about leaving sol.
