Thank you all so much for the continued support of the channel. All I ask is a few things. 1) Like the video (seriously... this took a few months to plan and create) 2) Stick around until the end... There may be something special.... ;)
My name is Byf Was the code for Destiny 2 in the video or will that be a giveaway in a seperate video? I really want to join people on Destiny 2, but I don't have the money. But as far as I am in this story is actually pretty good. Weird how people said there was no story in Destiny.
This makes me happy cause every time I did well during a match I'd dance to celebrate or sit if I lost. Now I know the citizens get to see my guardians celebrate lol
So I just got D2 from blizzard for free thought id give it a go and omg... I'm so upset i didnt try before and this video made playing D2 even better THANKS!!!!
Me before this video: "Seriously Byf? 1 and a half hours for Destiny and its average attempt at story telling... whatever." Me after the video: "BUNGIE PAY THIS MAN FOR DOING YOUR JOB FOR YOU."
Sylvanos Yes. Because a game with good mechanics does not a good story make. The original story was scrapped. And scraps have been swept like a pile of dirt by those with a broom/interest. Does not a story make.
Nathan M i had no idea what was going on in the game cuz most the game happened before my character, it was until an 50 minutes in i now know why i need to care about killing everything
Rogue Ninja The story is a tacked on to its true context. Shoot things that shoot at you. The original story was a good one. That was scrapped at behest of Activision. For sales to a younger crowd. In the ruling mindset of Activision. Doing the research helps.
No it was a condensed history of the main story, It is missing ancient history and side lines. Barely scratched the surface. He didn't even breathe in the direction of my coffee shop in the tower There is so much history that it could easily break the Bekenstein Limit.
I bet that the fireteam that included Praedyth Kabr and Pahanin didn't actually include only 3 members... the other three were from Destiny LFG and quit after failing the oracles part for the third time
An animated anthology series would be cool to see, not just focusing on one guardian or fireteam. Get perspective from the people we're supposed to protect
They can live forever atleast if they have their ghost like banshee-44 that number at the end of his name is how much reboots he has had so that means cayde had six reboots beause his name is cayde-6
Nathan Finnian said he would not being doing any more destiny VOs. So, don't expect Cayde to come back anytime. That said, I miss Dinklebot. I was glad to hear my theories on the EXOs confirmed. Something had to separate them from the common droids walking around, similar to ghost in the shell. There's also a movie on Netflix that goes into this that's really good. Pretty much could call it the history of the EXOs, called The Beyond. Worth a watch.
As someone who’s now put in 80 hours into Destiny 2, I’m so thankful for this additional information. I love good and deep lore and this was really useful.
Sir Wallen I love seeing the support the lore community shows each other. It gives credence to my head cannon that you're all a bunch of warlocks sitting around passing tidbits back and forth and every now and then, you let us peek in to learn something. Long live Byf, long live Sir Wallen, long live the lore community's insatiable curiosity
Sir Wallen Guardians are space zombies sowing genocide, do not believe the lies of the speaker and his various microphones. The first 10 minutes of this video prove that if you logically break down the timeline presented alongside the Grimoire we all already know.
Been playing this game since launch and the Lore is insane. I think as fellow supporters we all need to start a petition to get Byf a job at Bungie. This man tells the story about this game in a way that even the people who hate the game can sit and watch and understand unlike Bungie them self. Great video my friend
As someone who never truly knew what the hell was really going on in the story. THIS WAS FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!! I found myself many times with a big smile on my face as you made me relive some incredibly epic moments and memories that I made with my friends and fellow guardians. Even though this is a 3 year old video I can’t wait to listen to the next one and all of your other content. This gave me chills more than once man. Awesome job on the lore!!!
My name is Byf What is your reference for the theory of Rasputin controlling SIVA, and directly using it against the Iron Lords? Everything points to Rasputins motives being that SIVA be kept out of anyone's hands, his own included. Most of the info you presrent is in the Grimoire but this comes completely out of left field, and I can't find any supporting evidence.
I dunno about that. I've been watching with the CC playing, and there are tons of little mistakes that would only be there if they were automated. Mostly spelling, and misplaced punctuation.
Farrah Fox Oh sure, the cabal can be pretty boring, but you can’t deny that whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold.
Ok yeah but Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold
I assume the extra bits of lore will be fashioned into an extended universe by offically recognized writers, much like how Bungie lisenced out Halo for many writers to play with while still holding the canon firmly. It's only a matter of time.
This is a very high quality video. I am thoroughly impressed. The script. The structure. The music paired with the cutscenes. All perfect. Keep up the great work Byf. I'm definitely looking forward to your Destiny 2 videos
Hello. I want to thank you three, BYF, Octavius and Xander, for the work you have done in producing this video. I started playing Destiny from Destiny 2. I wanted to understand your story and this video helped a lot in your understanding. The text is rich in content and the graphic piece very well built and narration also very well done. Forgive me the errors of writing, I'm Brazilian and I do not speak English. Google helped me in translation, I had to thank them in some way. Many thanks, success to you three :)
Destiny's lore is so well-written and thought out, it's unfortunate that Bungie's had such a hard time conveying that in-game. Here's hoping Destiny 2's DLCs give us some more insight into the Destiny Universe. I'm in love with Bungie's vision. Just not so much their execution.
This has been the problem all along for me. I love the gameplay, but ever since day 1 with Destiny on Xbox 360, I have been grumbling about the lack of story, or the lack of cohesion in their story at least. Then I found this channel, and it's so much more complex and detailed than I ever gave it credit for. Sadly when you play the game, there's really not much that tells us most of this information. I get that I could read all the lore tabs or in the old days the Grimoire, but when I don't have any motivation to do so because usually I'm playing with friends and don't want to waste their time either. At this point I'm just like "Whatever, kill things, get powerful engrams, and run raids." I hope maybe we get some of this in the gameplay someday. Wonderful Video and Channel Byf, if it was not for this channel I still would just be like "You know what, I don't even care who the stranger was." I have a little more respect for the game and the writers at bungie thanks to you. just wish they could make this appear in game some, so that some of these gold named enemies become relevant and not just "big ass ogre with a name, number 634"
Matthew Haun Yea he did fantastic considering how horrible and mundane the story actually was in D1. Cant critize D2 much though, the snipets we've seen look fantastic
...I know that this is science fantasy and all, from Bungie... And I'm sure that this isn't a mistake of Byf's, but it's bugging me so much... PLASMA is the fourth state of matter, where ELECTRONS not data specifically is free of form. It's an energetic state above gas where the atoms are too excited to retain atomic bonds. And the idea of a state of matter where information is free of form, of matter, is ludicrous, not because it's science fantasy, but because information is a real way of looking at ALL matter in our world. Information is, as the etymology of the word would tell you, simply the human way of inferring the characteristics of a certain focus's state of existence. PHOTONS are information, titanium is information. The only way to make Engram a viable "State of matter" is to make it 4th dimensional, which, while cool, is a whole can of worms unto itself. Bear in mind, I'm not complaining because I dislike it, I love the Destiny story. But the scientist in me is cringing so hard right now ^_^;
You know, around 1:26:00 i almost teared. After all the Destiny 1 stuff ended, leading into the D2 trailer. The urgency of the music, cayde's confusion, Ikora's fear and Zavala's contemplation, ultimately leading to his cry for battle stations. We've come a long way. To others not familiar, there's way cooler lore for you to dig into, as Byf Mentioned. The Last Word + Thorn saga is my favorite (including what was made known after), but look into all of it as they were written so beautifully.
I was looking into playing D2 since it’s now free and like most things, I like to know the story and lore that came before it instead of going in blindly....this video was a massive help and made me understand more at just how much impressive lore that Destiny has and can’t wait to start playing D2 even more
So much effort was put into this video, and I enjoyed every second of it, I had to watch it over a week but it was worth it, as a destiny fan it's awesome to see, especially you byf, to make a full, in depth, lore video
All of this is in the game. Litterly all the events we play is spoken about in this video. I'm sorry, but your poor attempt to shame destiny about its "lack of story telling" is is a load of cuntjuice.
It is in the game, just a good portion of the deeper stuff is in item lore pages and whatnot. Also, the characters very frequently discuss their motivations and reasons but It often happens as voice overs during gameplay, which can get drowned out in the middle of an intense fight. It could definitely be delivered better but overall D2 did a much better job at this.
Its 2019 I miss this game so much. I have laid in bed and literally felt an ache in my chest just thinking about it. Some people may think that is pathetic, or that I'm weird for it, but I know I'm not the only one. No matter what your real life was like, all you had to do was boot up this game, and suddenly you were free. You could feel a sense of accomplishment, you set goals, you achieved them, you felt as though you were putting in work and reaping the rewards. You had friends, that no matter what, would make you have a good time before the night was over. The friends that have now logged off forever. The part that hurts the worst, is that those days will never come back. You know what days I'm talking about. The days where nothing else mattered except for raids, trials, and strikes. Where you felt your confidence and personality grow. Where you discovered new things and people, and could escape from the real world. If you have a way to, reach out to your old gaming friends. Ask them how they're doing in life, and if they too remember the days of Destiny.
You honestly nailed how I see Destiny. So many exciting moments shared with friends and family that I played with. Now years later, I stopped playing with alot of those friends, jobs changed...life went on and got harder, and yet Destiny still continues to give me that environment that I can just let lose and always find something to do.
Yeah I remember when I was young and didn’t have a job. Lol jk I feel you man. This game was something special. Make some new gaming friends bro! Lots of cool people out there you just gotta put effort into it
Small Loan of a Million Dollars i am friends til this day with people from destiny 1. I remember coming home from long day at work ready to unwind and being “free” as you said. destiny was my escape but not anymore. Ill give destiny 3 a chance but nothing had come close to capturing my attention like destiny once did. its a truly sad time in gaming.
We should should get together and have a good old raid I still player destiny 1 to this day my clan has long gone but I'm still here stand up and be proud my guardian brothers and sisters the will never be a game that bets destiny 1
This video is so nostalgic. Byf, thank you for introducing me to this franchise. I’ll forever cherish this video. You gave me a new world for my twelve-year-old self to get lost in. Thank you.
What I've never gotten is that hundreds of guardians couldn't kill Crota outside of his dimension yet only six were able to kill him despite being in his own dimension where he is most powerful
Atheist-Shihtzu what do you mean hundreds couldn't kill him if you're talking about the war on the moon well Crota had an army behind him he wasn't alone
Tiffany Ritchie how are we supposed to find all of this out? Oh that's right we need to leave the game to figure out any thing about the past, is that good game design, story telling or lore building? No, no it's not and we all know it yet some still deny it.
Drew McAdam The Hive are tied into the darkness. Bungie didn't even know what The Darkness was at D1 launch and as a writer, I can honestly relate to that. From what I understand / can gather, The Darkness is your typical "essence of evil" type entity, but with D2 and its expansions they're revisiting and refurbishing that aspect.
First of all, i want to thank you for putting so much effort into these videos. I haven even watched the newer full story lore videos yet, and still I'm absolutely blown away by this video. Holy shit. This guy deserves so many more subscribtions and the game of destiny deserves so many more players. Wow.
thee types of games are building your religion right now even stronger. earth is not a globe and space is fake; so this game is extremely SF. I bet you are globeheads believing this shit the vatican launched up your ass... believing in shit is 1; but if you cannot even provide 1 simple proof of the religion you believe in.... sunworshipping aka helios how about ever movie nowadays where they zoom in on the location from a globe hahahahaha ; constant brainwash! you guys buy your own brainwash!
@@zengerz You're spewing your own beliefs and denying others theirs. You are a bigot. Flat Earth idealogy is a belief rooted from conspiracy theories on youtube, nothing more.
@@zengerz ...Sundails work on a round Earth. They are based on the position of the sun in the sky. The reason parts of the Earth get more light then others is just how spheres work. Shine a light on a sphere and rotate it at 365° per day that's how fast the earth is rotating. You can observe how the top of the sphere is never reappy in the dark, and the equator of the sphere is in the dark for the longest period. A flat Earth can't have this happen because it would mean no location on Earth would be truly dark. The way light travels in atmosphere and reflects with clouds would mean you could almost always see light from the sun at all hours.
Too much stuff for a movie. The events leading up to a raid like the VoG alone could be a movie. Perhaps it could be a franchise of movies, but I think there's definitely enough there to warrant a TV show. The effects could get expensive though.
Wow...respect for this video. This made me cry. Thank you. To every guardian i faced in the crucible, every friend i made, every hate message sent and received, every first time beating a raid, three great years fighting, and finally #ibecamelegend. See you on destiny 2 guys
Byf, you're the man. Thank you so much for your dedication, and fleshing out of the characters of the story. It literally brings it all to life. This has to be one of the greatest games I've ever played. Thank you again, sir. You're much appreciated.
I'm massively into the lore and watch most lore videos and channels yet I'm still watching this because a his buttery smooth voice and b I like summaries
I won't lie to you. Welcome to the best and worst experience of your life. If destiny 2 is anything like destiny 1 prepare for lag, a broken crucible and people whining about nerfs. Prepare for op weapons to dominate the crucible and cheap assholes that ruin the 8-0 game for you in trials. Prepare for the fun raid nights and getting the flawless victory and being so happy you piss yourself. Prepare for games when you dominate and go unbroken and last but not least. Prepare to play destiny and accept the highs and lows. As more dlc comes out it's gonna get better but year 1 for bungie games is usually a shit show. Destiny is like a finger flick to the balls when it's at its worst. Sharp at first but fades with time. Just when you think you're gonna give up the game and uninstall it get ready for your friend to hit you up asking to do a raid for you to spend an hour waiting for it to reinstall. When at it's best, you'll have so much fun you'll think it's the best game ever and fight anyone who says otherwise. When you're starting to do raids prepare to go to school or work and using raid terms like wipe, chessing, runners, rotations, etc. Pve is the most frustrating thing with the wrong raid teams that you'll probably get off of lfg. However you'll find your godlike raid team on lfg and become great friends. You'll talk about work and school and relationships. In pvp you'll have games where it's so bad you're throwing your ps4 out the window and others you'll feel like a god. When you hit trials and ask advice about it most of the time you're just going to be told to go on twitch or don't do it at all cause let's me real. Most of us got carried out first time. The verdict is this; destiny isn't about the game. It's about the experience. If you haven't played the original destiny then you're in for one hell of a ride. Welcome to destiny. Glad to have you on board.
I miss vanilla Destiny, they told so much more story in their DLCs than they do now, I miss the Gjallarhorn, and the iron Gjallarhorn, using Icebreaker in the original Trials of Osiris, and I never thought I'd ever hear myself say this but....I miss Crota 😭
PC. this is the main reason i didnt play 1 is i dont own a console nor do i own a space to place a console, Destiny allways seemed like my kind of game. I love shooting stuff i love RPGs and skill trees and i fucking love loot and i like mmos. but then it was console only and then i was like.... fuck.
It’s more than fair. This is a 90 minute video, dude. That’s how long it takes us to WATCH IT, can you imagine writing this script, arranging this footage, and recording a professional voice over that’s 90 straight minutes of talking? Plus he had two other people help on the video, I assume they were compensated as well. I watched every single ad because the content justifies it.
I don’t get it-if Rasputin stopped the traveler from leaving earth during the collapse, to save humanity, why would he command SIVA to kill the iron lords? Why not command SIVA to help bring humanity back to a golden age era?
Rasputin did that because he knew SIVA was an extremely powerful biomechanical technology (like nukes we have today in comparison of power). The Iron Lords wanted to gain access to SIVA to end the apocalypse/post-apocalypse and restore humanity to the Golden Age, but by doing that, SIVA could had fallen into wrong hands. They could end up opening a loophole for the Darkness beings to invade and take SIVA, and that would be the end for every living being on Earth. That's why Rasputin activated automated defense systems to take the Irons Lords out of action.
It's easy to understand if you played the rise of iron DLC, simply put like the guys above stated. in the wrong hands SIVA could have ended our universe. The fallen being a great example.
Rasputin didnt stop the traveler from leaving. Byf says that it was speculated the traveler stopped because it was looking for the right "patch of ground" to do battle with the darkness. Rasputin may have known this which is why he did nothing.
Wow, my friends and I just got D2 since it was for free. We loved it and all got forsaken. However, since none of us played D1, there were many things I was quite confused lore wise in D2. When I saw how long your video was I was quite daunted, however after starting to watch it I kept watching until the end. You did a great job of explaining the lore of Destiny for someone who's brand new. Thank you so much.
This video was absolutely amazing. This storytelling is so appreciated. A new player, and a super fan of this lore (and the realistic connections to the real world). Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Destiny has always had pretty interesting lore.. The story, however, the vertical slice that we get and the way that is told are highly uninteresting and written very lazily. I really hope D2 can mix that lore and some better set pieces within the story to make it a good one.
I played a little bit of Destiny, but I'm getting Destiny 2 tomorrow and my friend told me to watch some lore videos about the game. He said that it'd make me really hyped about the 2nd game and linked me to this video. Wasn't let down whatsoever! I'm hyped for the second game and I can now understand the plot points from the first game (let's be honest they didn't exactly do a great job at doing it themselves).
Maybe when Destiny 3 comes out if it does happen so once you take this video combine it with Byf's Destiny 2 lore video and then we have a two hour long video. Now that would be something and I would watch it because I love Destiny. Keep up the good work Byf!!!
This might literally be the greatest video ever for the destiny community. After hearing the story, you learn to appreciate each area of the game/games!!! Also your voice is perfect for commentary!!!
Very well done. Loved the video. After hundreds of hours of gametime, it's nice to finally understand the order of events in which we played through. Mad props to all involved in this video's creation. Bungle take note... give these guys a job.
ZCurse100 no its the same earth. The mars trip where the three find the travelor is actually our close future. For instance the world is already trying to find a way to mars. So the amount of time it take us to get there, thats how long in the future the bginning of this is
Been playing Destiny since day 1 way back in 2014. I remember sitting for hours, grinding for loot and trying to figure out who or what the hell I was shooting aliens for. To this day, I have never seen a video/written text which explained the lore better than this video. Byf, saying that you've done a stellar job with this video won't be enough to describe it. I can't think of anything TO describe it. Thank you.
Thank you all so much for the continued support of the channel. All I ask is a few things.
1) Like the video (seriously... this took a few months to plan and create)
2) Stick around until the end... There may be something special.... ;)
My name is Byf already done my friend
My name is Byf - Oh I'll be here till the end, thanks for all the hard work!
My name is Byf hey! Want any popcorn! Only 100 for you!
My name is Byf Was the code for Destiny 2 in the video or will that be a giveaway in a seperate video? I really want to join people on Destiny 2, but I don't have the money. But as far as I am in this story is actually pretty good. Weird how people said there was no story in Destiny.
HOLY $#!+ IT'S AN HOUR AND A HALF
This sounds like a great story. Somebody should make a video game about it.
Lol, true.
lmao gg
They have mate it's called Destiny. The second instalment came out recently you should check it out
Jay Walker it was a joke m8
Jay Walker barely in the game dibshit
Wait, if the crucible matched are televised to the citizens.
Man are they disipointed with my combat performance 😃😃
Cant be worse than mine
Martin Juarez and my year 1 matches are all on record and will now forever haunt me
memetard For real? Year 1 was the easiest, everyone was shit lmao for me crucible got harder each year.
This makes me happy cause every time I did well during a match I'd dance to celebrate or sit if I lost. Now I know the citizens get to see my guardians celebrate lol
Martin Juarez 😂😂😂
So I just got D2 from blizzard for free thought id give it a go and omg... I'm so upset i didnt try before and this video made playing D2 even better THANKS!!!!
Welcome, Guardian.
Exact same lol :)
SAAME, THATS WHY IM HEAR
The game is good, but you need Forsaken and the annual pass for an even better experience. I highly recommend if you didn't already.
My friend you have no idea what destiny 1 was like
I feel like Byf is that one veteran Warlock telling (or teaching) stories/lore to the City kids lol
I never thought to look at it that way...
That's a cool thought.
*Batman's voice from YJ* I did...
I mean he kind of is, isn't he?
Specter Epsilon you can say.. he's the storyteller of destiny. But that is a story for another day.
Me before this video: "Seriously Byf? 1 and a half hours for Destiny and its average attempt at story telling... whatever."
Me after the video: "BUNGIE PAY THIS MAN FOR DOING YOUR JOB FOR YOU."
Nathan M Which shows what most already know. Crap.
There was a time many knew a good story. Novels. Screenplays. Not crap.
CannyBill CB I played from year 1 and I never knew some of this stuff
Sylvanos Yes. Because a game with good mechanics does not a good story make.
The original story was scrapped. And scraps have been swept like a pile of dirt by those with a broom/interest. Does not a story make.
Nathan M i had no idea what was going on in the game cuz most the game happened before my character, it was until an 50 minutes in i now know why i need to care about killing everything
Rogue Ninja The story is a tacked on to its true context.
Shoot things that shoot at you. The original story was a good one. That was scrapped at behest of Activision. For sales to a younger crowd. In the ruling mindset of Activision. Doing the research helps.
So glad I found this. Immersive for someone just now playing. This should be appointed by Bungie if it hasn’t already.
+blech71 I like how this video is over an hour long and it barely scratches the surface of the lore of this game.
Michael Henry yep
ADA-1 just babbled: "There are clearly stories you have not heard Guardian".
Me: "I doubt that."
So that was the history of the entire world I guess
Edward Cole this comment should be pinned
*-T H E S U N I S A D E A D L Y L A S E R-*
Edward Cole he literally says this isn't that much lore several times
No it was a condensed history of the main story, It is missing ancient history and side lines. Barely scratched the surface. He didn't even breathe in the direction of my coffee shop in the tower There is so much history that it could easily break the Bekenstein Limit.
NOT ANYMORE THERE'S A BLANKET
I bet that the fireteam that included Praedyth Kabr and Pahanin didn't actually include only 3 members... the other three were from Destiny LFG and quit after failing the oracles part for the third time
you think they know how to work the door plates?
lol best comment ever
"Ehh, I got work tomorrow. I only got a few runs left in me."
Classic LFG line.
Zac Mayer so fucking true
Oran Levy hahahaha
I was interrupted by an ad... for Destiny 2
I ain't even mad
lol

wv11989 that final fantasy ad is so annoying

Orre the girl is thicc tho
Imagine having such a good story line but never talking about it
Marble we need a movie
An animated anthology series would be cool to see, not just focusing on one guardian or fireteam. Get perspective from the people we're supposed to protect
Only we have to imagine that. I'd say at least 80-90% of destiny players don't have to imagine it, because they live it as reality.
@@GenerationIcarus h job
@@GenerationIcarus This right here, at least animated shorts would be good enough.
Holy crap, Byf.
This was incredible.
Thank you Byf, Zander, & Octavious.The Vanguard of UA-cam.
Mohammed Al-Sahaf no the vanguard is Byf, warlock vanguard, Mylein, hunter vanguard, and Sir Wallace, Titan vanguard
He said exo’s could live forever
Me: (thinking of Cayde while listening to slow songs)
Depression
They can live forever atleast if they have their ghost like banshee-44 that number at the end of his name is how much reboots he has had so that means cayde had six reboots beause his name is cayde-6
LolzXkillz 8o8 didn’t Cayde stop counting though?
Nathan Finnian said he would not being doing any more destiny VOs. So, don't expect Cayde to come back anytime. That said, I miss Dinklebot.
I was glad to hear my theories on the EXOs confirmed. Something had to separate them from the common droids walking around, similar to ghost in the shell. There's also a movie on Netflix that goes into this that's really good. Pretty much could call it the history of the EXOs, called The Beyond. Worth a watch.

As someone who’s now put in 80 hours into Destiny 2, I’m so thankful for this additional information. I love good and deep lore and this was really useful.
Seriously Byf, this shit is awesome. I'm putting this all over my community pages. Great work!

Sir Wallen wow do u still make videos
Nexuish hail lord byf! Hail lord Wallen!
Very gracious of you. Content creators like you two really do help make destiny and it's comunity what it is. Thank you.

I dunno about that. I've been watching with the CC playing, and there are tons of little mistakes that would only be there if they were automated. Mostly spelling, and misplaced punctuation.

This is unacceptable. He did not tell us that whether we liked it or not we stepped into a war with the cabal on mars.

Oh sure, the cabal can be pretty boring, but you can’t deny that whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold.

Destiny's plot could be a really good book jeez
I assume the extra bits of lore will be fashioned into an extended universe by offically recognized writers, much like how Bungie lisenced out Halo for many writers to play with while still holding the canon firmly. It's only a matter of time.
And by that I will assume you meant entire series of books
Or a really good game...............................
Ghosto and movie fuckin hell
I’m really interested in it. But I also find it vague and convoluted at many points. Seems a bit messy.
So what I gathered from this whole video is that Lord Shaxx is a proper badass. That's all we need to know from the lore of Destiny lol
Shaxx one punched A fallen captain at Six Fronts he is probably a descendant of Chuck Norris
Shaxx has a 2 foot long schlong
He BANGED MARA SOV OFC HES A BADASS SMH
When I had multiple buffs on that I made myself I 1 punched every thing

This is a very high quality video. I am thoroughly impressed. The script. The structure. The music paired with the cutscenes. All perfect. Keep up the great work Byf. I'm definitely looking forward to your Destiny 2 videos
Hello. I want to thank you three, BYF, Octavius and Xander, for the work you have done in producing this video. I started playing Destiny from Destiny 2. I wanted to understand your story and this video helped a lot in your understanding. The text is rich in content and the graphic piece very well built and narration also very well done. Forgive me the errors of writing, I'm Brazilian and I do not speak English. Google helped me in translation, I had to thank them in some way. Many thanks, success to you three :)

You finally had time to explain why you have time to explain thanks
Destiny's lore is so well-written and thought out, it's unfortunate that Bungie's had such a hard time conveying that in-game.
Here's hoping Destiny 2's DLCs give us some more insight into the Destiny Universe. I'm in love with Bungie's vision. Just not so much their execution.
This has been the problem all along for me. I love the gameplay, but ever since day 1 with Destiny on Xbox 360, I have been grumbling about the lack of story, or the lack of cohesion in their story at least. Then I found this channel, and it's so much more complex and detailed than I ever gave it credit for. Sadly when you play the game, there's really not much that tells us most of this information. I get that I could read all the lore tabs or in the old days the Grimoire, but when I don't have any motivation to do so because usually I'm playing with friends and don't want to waste their time either. At this point I'm just like "Whatever, kill things, get powerful engrams, and run raids." I hope maybe we get some of this in the gameplay someday.
Wonderful Video and Channel Byf, if it was not for this channel I still would just be like "You know what, I don't even care who the stranger was." I have a little more respect for the game and the writers at bungie thanks to you. just wish they could make this appear in game some, so that some of these gold named enemies become relevant and not just "big ass ogre with a name, number 634"
Too bad the first two DLC's of Destiny 2 were still as bland as the ones before.
me Gustav I sat through 3 years of destiny one and it was worth it but I was drained I can’t do it with destiny 2
Actually there is.
Destiny 2: Forsaken,
Releasing tomorrow at the time of this post.
Curb your meme plays in the background.
I usually complain about ads but I can respect how much time and effort this took so every ad was earned on this
Byf needs to narrate in the game. Guy is a true guardian, don't know why Bungie hasn't hired him
Ehh, his voice is very nasal; in combination with his posh British accent, it sounds pretentious.
Soniti1324 I dont think you know what pretentious means
Matthew Haun Yea he did fantastic considering how horrible and mundane the story actually was in D1. Cant critize D2 much though, the snipets we've seen look fantastic
hes like the VaatiVidya of the destiny universe
Soniti1324 I wouldn't say he is posh.
If there's going to be a Destiny Movie, let Byf direct, choose the actors and write the script for the film.
How to make a terrible movie 101
nyanfish Savage
I'm just glad Byf had..........Time to Explain. ;) Fantastic video sir.
iCompensate ba dum tish!
iCompensate I need you to know how hard this made me laugh hahaha
Glad I could improve your day! hahaha
...I know that this is science fantasy and all, from Bungie... And I'm sure that this isn't a mistake of Byf's, but it's bugging me so much... PLASMA is the fourth state of matter, where ELECTRONS not data specifically is free of form. It's an energetic state above gas where the atoms are too excited to retain atomic bonds.
And the idea of a state of matter where information is free of form, of matter, is ludicrous, not because it's science fantasy, but because information is a real way of looking at ALL matter in our world. Information is, as the etymology of the word would tell you, simply the human way of inferring the characteristics of a certain focus's state of existence. PHOTONS are information, titanium is information. The only way to make Engram a viable "State of matter" is to make it 4th dimensional, which, while cool, is a whole can of worms unto itself.
Bear in mind, I'm not complaining because I dislike it, I love the Destiny story. But the scientist in me is cringing so hard right now ^_^;
iCompensate OH HOOO!!!!!!
I'm getting chills just from watching this video and the narrative
Dare to say I'm more excited to play as a Titan class cause I'm inspired by this.
You know, around 1:26:00 i almost teared. After all the Destiny 1 stuff ended, leading into the D2 trailer. The urgency of the music, cayde's confusion, Ikora's fear and Zavala's contemplation, ultimately leading to his cry for battle stations. We've come a long way.
To others not familiar, there's way cooler lore for you to dig into, as Byf Mentioned. The Last Word + Thorn saga is my favorite (including what was made known after), but look into all of it as they were written so beautifully.
Bear Overthere boi shut yo sensitive ass up
1 hr 30 min??? that is serious dedication... thank you for taking the time and effort to make this! I really enjoyed it
Byf i have to say you are the most hardworking destiny youtuber plz keep up your awsome work😊😊
I was looking into playing D2 since it’s now free and like most things, I like to know the story and lore that came before it instead of going in blindly....this video was a massive help and made me understand more at just how much impressive lore that Destiny has and can’t wait to start playing D2 even more
So much effort was put into this video, and I enjoyed every second of it, I had to watch it over a week but it was worth it, as a destiny fan it's awesome to see, especially you byf, to make a full, in depth, lore video
I watched this whole thing...and man I am more in love with Destiny than I ever was before
I did too and am loving to game so far.

zip2kx lmfao
All of this is in the game. Litterly all the events we play is spoken about in this video. I'm sorry, but your poor attempt to shame destiny about its "lack of story telling" is is a load of cuntjuice.
It is in the game, just a good portion of the deeper stuff is in item lore pages and whatnot. Also, the characters very frequently discuss their motivations and reasons but It often happens as voice overs during gameplay, which can get drowned out in the middle of an intense fight. It could definitely be delivered better but overall D2 did a much better job at this.
zip2kx Am I the only person who agrees with you

Yeeeeeessss
Its 2019
I miss this game so much. I have laid in bed and literally felt an ache in my chest just thinking about it. Some people may think that is pathetic, or that I'm weird for it, but I know I'm not the only one. No matter what your real life was like, all you had to do was boot up this game, and suddenly you were free. You could feel a sense of accomplishment, you set goals, you achieved them, you felt as though you were putting in work and reaping the rewards. You had friends, that no matter what, would make you have a good time before the night was over. The friends that have now logged off forever. The part that hurts the worst, is that those days will never come back. You know what days I'm talking about. The days where nothing else mattered except for raids, trials, and strikes. Where you felt your confidence and personality grow. Where you discovered new things and people, and could escape from the real world. If you have a way to, reach out to your old gaming friends. Ask them how they're doing in life, and if they too remember the days of Destiny.
You honestly nailed how I see Destiny. So many exciting moments shared with friends and family that I played with. Now years later, I stopped playing with alot of those friends, jobs changed...life went on and got harder, and yet Destiny still continues to give me that environment that I can just let lose and always find something to do.
I agree with this so strongly this is exactly what it was like, i still play destiny 1 sometimes because destiny 2 isn't have as fun as destiny 1 was.
Yeah I remember when I was young and didn’t have a job.
Lol jk I feel you man. This game was something special. Make some new gaming friends bro! Lots of cool people out there you just gotta put effort into it
Small Loan of a Million Dollars i am friends til this day with people from destiny 1. I remember coming home from long day at work ready to unwind and being “free” as you said. destiny was my escape but not anymore. Ill give destiny 3 a chance but nothing had come close to capturing my attention like destiny once did. its a truly sad time in gaming.
We should should get together and have a good old raid I still player destiny 1 to this day my clan has long gone but I'm still here stand up and be proud my guardian brothers and sisters the will never be a game that bets destiny 1
Playing Destiny for 2 years and I learned more in a 1.5 hours

No wonder the original VoG team couldn't defeat Atheon...they only had 3 people! lol
Back in my day we soloed it
What I've never gotten is that hundreds of guardians couldn't kill Crota outside of his dimension yet only six were able to kill him despite being in his own dimension where he is most powerful
Atheist-Shihtzu what do you mean hundreds couldn't kill him if you're talking about the war on the moon well Crota had an army behind him he wasn't alone
Nathan Clark actually there's a theory they were 6 but the other three got erased from the timeline by the vex so they were forgotten
Planet Kuruto I could actually believe that..3 just seems like such a small number..
Bungie, give this guy a job to tell the lore since yall are too lazy to tell us yourselfs..
Tiffany Ritchie how are we supposed to find all of this out? Oh that's right we need to leave the game to figure out any thing about the past, is that good game design, story telling or lore building? No, no it's not and we all know it yet some still deny it.
Drew McAdam you do know they fired the lead story tellers half way through the game and Activision pushed there released dates so destiny suffered.
Drew McAdam The Hive are tied into the darkness. Bungie didn't even know what The Darkness was at D1 launch and as a writer, I can honestly relate to that. From what I understand / can gather, The Darkness is your typical "essence of evil" type entity, but with D2 and its expansions they're revisiting and refurbishing that aspect.

Let us now turn to the Book Of Byf, Forsaken Chapter
@@zengerz You're spewing your own beliefs and denying others theirs. You are a bigot. Flat Earth idealogy is a belief rooted from conspiracy theories on youtube, nothing more.
@@zengerz ...Sundails work on a round Earth. They are based on the position of the sun in the sky.
The reason parts of the Earth get more light then others is just how spheres work. Shine a light on a sphere and rotate it at 365° per day that's how fast the earth is rotating. You can observe how the top of the sphere is never reappy in the dark, and the equator of the sphere is in the dark for the longest period.
A flat Earth can't have this happen because it would mean no location on Earth would be truly dark. The way light travels in atmosphere and reflects with clouds would mean you could almost always see light from the sun at all hours.
It's 2:48. I have work at 9:00.
So I decide to watch an hour and a half UA-cam video on video game lore.
Priorities: Set.
This needs to be put in a book
Movie?
Caboose Maybe a tv show. There's SO MUCH lore.
It depends who does it, but a movie, if done correctly could be a good ass movie
I'd be happy with just putting it in the game
Too much stuff for a movie. The events leading up to a raid like the VoG alone could be a movie. Perhaps it could be a franchise of movies, but I think there's definitely enough there to warrant a TV show. The effects could get expensive though.
Thank you to everyone who helped put this together! I have a seriously short attention span, but this was well thought out and easy to understand.

Byf can you read me a bedtime story, your voice is just the best. You should be the speaker. Great job you 3 for making this video possible.
As someone who never played Destiny but pre ordered D2... thank you!
Nasugi you're gonna love it!!!
Nasugi Welcome fellow Kinderguardian!
Don't listen to the Y1 one Vets calling you bad, half of them are just as horrible themselves
Nasugi Welcome Guardian! I'm not a Year 1 Vet. I'm a Year 2 Vet. :) You might enjoy D2! Again, welcome!
I won't lie to you. Welcome to the best and worst experience of your life. If destiny 2 is anything like destiny 1 prepare for lag, a broken crucible and people whining about nerfs. Prepare for op weapons to dominate the crucible and cheap assholes that ruin the 8-0 game for you in trials. Prepare for the fun raid nights and getting the flawless victory and being so happy you piss yourself. Prepare for games when you dominate and go unbroken and last but not least. Prepare to play destiny and accept the highs and lows. As more dlc comes out it's gonna get better but year 1 for bungie games is usually a shit show. Destiny is like a finger flick to the balls when it's at its worst. Sharp at first but fades with time. Just when you think you're gonna give up the game and uninstall it get ready for your friend to hit you up asking to do a raid for you to spend an hour waiting for it to reinstall. When at it's best, you'll have so much fun you'll think it's the best game ever and fight anyone who says otherwise. When you're starting to do raids prepare to go to school or work and using raid terms like wipe, chessing, runners, rotations, etc. Pve is the most frustrating thing with the wrong raid teams that you'll probably get off of lfg. However you'll find your godlike raid team on lfg and become great friends. You'll talk about work and school and relationships. In pvp you'll have games where it's so bad you're throwing your ps4 out the window and others you'll feel like a god. When you hit trials and ask advice about it most of the time you're just going to be told to go on twitch or don't do it at all cause let's me real. Most of us got carried out first time.
The verdict is this; destiny isn't about the game. It's about the experience. If you haven't played the original destiny then you're in for one hell of a ride. Welcome to destiny. Glad to have you on board.
It's been 5years, I hope Byf does an updated one for all of us who skipped some seasons since.

Say no more fam.
It’s more than fair. This is a 90 minute video, dude.
That’s how long it takes us to WATCH IT, can you imagine writing this script, arranging this footage, and recording a professional voice over that’s 90 straight minutes of talking?
Plus he had two other people help on the video, I assume they were compensated as well.
I watched every single ad because the content justifies it.
I don’t get it-if Rasputin stopped the traveler from leaving earth during the collapse, to save humanity, why would he command SIVA to kill the iron lords? Why not command SIVA to help bring humanity back to a golden age era?
Because he most likely wants privacy when three advanced alien empires are invading.
Rasputin did that because he knew SIVA was an extremely powerful biomechanical technology (like nukes we have today in comparison of power).
The Iron Lords wanted to gain access to SIVA to end the apocalypse/post-apocalypse and restore humanity to the Golden Age, but by doing that, SIVA could had fallen into wrong hands.
They could end up opening a loophole for the Darkness beings to invade and take SIVA, and that would be the end for every living being on Earth.
That's why Rasputin activated automated defense systems to take the Irons Lords out of action.
It's easy to understand if you played the rise of iron DLC, simply put like the guys above stated. in the wrong hands SIVA could have ended our universe. The fallen being a great example.
Rasputin didnt stop the traveler from leaving. Byf says that it was speculated the traveler stopped because it was looking for the right "patch of ground" to do battle with the darkness. Rasputin may have known this which is why he did nothing.

You missed the part before that stating that it's not known what happened, but it was most likely Rasputin opening fire on the traveller

Wow, my friends and I just got D2 since it was for free. We loved it and all got forsaken. However, since none of us played D1, there were many things I was quite confused lore wise in D2. When I saw how long your video was I was quite daunted, however after starting to watch it I kept watching until the end. You did a great job of explaining the lore of Destiny for someone who's brand new. Thank you so much.
This video was absolutely amazing. This storytelling is so appreciated. A new player, and a super fan of this lore (and the realistic connections to the real world). Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Destiny 1 actually had a pretty good story... they just didn't tell it very well..
Agree 100%
No... They just forget to put this story into the game...
boryssobieski but even what we did in-game was a pretty good story... just not told well.
ZivoxGaming agreed
Destiny has always had pretty interesting lore.. The story, however, the vertical slice that we get and the way that is told are highly uninteresting and written very lazily. I really hope D2 can mix that lore and some better set pieces within the story to make it a good one.
I played a little bit of Destiny, but I'm getting Destiny 2 tomorrow and my friend told me to watch some lore videos about the game. He said that it'd make me really hyped about the 2nd game and linked me to this video. Wasn't let down whatsoever! I'm hyped for the second game and I can now understand the plot points from the first game (let's be honest they didn't exactly do a great job at doing it themselves).
Maybe when Destiny 3 comes out if it does happen so once you take this video combine it with Byf's Destiny 2 lore video and then we have a two hour long video. Now that would be something and I would watch it because I love Destiny. Keep up the good work Byf!!!
It'd be 3 hours hopefully man this one by itself is 1:31:00.
FutureRail Productions hopefully destiny 2 wont need one
im not Tricky Well you don't know with Forsaken coming out. That looks promising. Almost as promising as the Taken King.
This might literally be the greatest video ever for the destiny community. After hearing the story, you learn to appreciate each area of the game/games!!! Also your voice is perfect for commentary!!!

ZCurse100 no its the same earth. The mars trip where the three find the travelor is actually our close future. For instance the world is already trying to find a way to mars. So the amount of time it take us to get there, thats how long in the future the bginning of this is
ZCurse100 are you actually insane
Chris Cummings what I mean is that humans wouldn't unite like this. The south of the US is still saying the South will rise again.
Elijah Tanner maybe.
ZCurse100 I mean who the fuck would've expected people to stop hating nazis lol
This is like the vattividya of destiny
Pretty much yeah
game assassin voice is just as good if not better too.
game assassin YES
game assassin Feed that bottomless well that is the cult of personality more, why don't you.
#ByfShouldPlayDS
Been playing Destiny since day 1 way back in 2014. I remember sitting for hours, grinding for loot and trying to figure out who or what the hell I was shooting aliens for. To this day, I have never seen a video/written text which explained the lore better than this video. Byf, saying that you've done a stellar job with this video won't be enough to describe it. I can't think of anything TO describe it. Thank you.
Its Like an audio book
