Was there ANY story leading to the arrival of the leviathan? Any dialogue?
Or did guardians just go land on it out of nowhere and go "Haha what's this let's rob it"
I know in season of opulence he sent an invite, but as far as I can tell, the leviathan showed up way before Opulence occurred. What's the timeline and was there any dialogue or anything leading up to the first raid?

We go there and stop them whilst reading what they were recording. Mostly the soil composition into royal wine... We listen to cabal radio chatter and hear emperor Calus deny the 7th legion into his own as they failed in their duties. Ghost tells cayde it was from emperor Calus, cayde got really shocked and ran to Ikora and we were given a quest to wait for the leviathans arrival... When the leviathan raid was launched, the leviathan arrived and we went on that quest to get legend of acrius. The leviathan was here and we went on it WAY before opulance, back in vanilla d2.

There were hints and nods during the red war campaign.

It was in the adventures on Io from vanilla

Edited by PhNx Hellfire: 10/20/2021 2:32:26 AMD2 vanilla had a playable mission called "Invitation of the Emperor" or some aspect of that wherein Calus is recruiting a potential group of Cabal to join him. Mission ultimately ends with us killing some of those Cabal and intercepting the full message. Cayde at the end of that goes running off to find Ikora which sets this up. When Calus arrives afterward we knew of him and accepted his invitation to us onboard the leviathan. To be frank, we learned a lot regarding the ascendent plane because of him.

There was definitely some story lead-up to it, but the idea of a guardian stumbling on a mysterious gigantic spaceship and their first thought being to bust in there, kill everything and loot the place feels pretty on point. Wait...we're the good guys in this story right? Yes!? Ok, cool! just checking...

2 RepliesI've connected all the dots now Honestly it's incredibly disappointing that something as truly momentous as "a ship that can eat planets and turns them into psionic wine, housing one of the most important characters in the entire franchise right now, is now in your solar system" was heralded ONLY by A) A premium booklet B) a missable adventure C) an exotic quest D) ZERO main questline dialogue and build-up Both Last Wish and Garden of Salvation had mainline quests feed directly into them. That was significantly better. But at least I know, now.

It was there in the beginning of D2 I think. I vaguely remember a adventure on Nessus where the Cabal had a "giant ship" that was going to eat Nessus. The solution was kill some patrol Cabal leaders and they just stopped.
-
Well… the leviathan turned up pretty early in D2 but there was some foreshadowing and a quest. If you’re talking about any mention of it in D1 then… no, not really.
-
There was an adventure on nessues that hinted to it plus the legend of acrius quest
-
One adventure on Nessus that was about Calais talking to the cabal
-
There were Nesus events as mentioned but basically Guardians feel like "if it's in our solar system it's ours to -blam!- around and find out with. Hive. Vex. Cabal. When it comes right down to it Destiny is the story of "wandering around and shooting anything that doesn't look human."

Only story leading upto the leviathan coming was from the collectors edition of d2 and nothing else
-
Yes for veteran players, no for new light players. There were some nessus missions on vanilla explaining the arrival of the leviathan

-
Yes there was some story. If you purchased the deluxe edition of D2 when it launched there was a book that told the story of Calus and the arrival of the leviathan

1 ReplyFr, why is this game so incoherent? Even if we ignore the lore, some of the story and plot jumps are jarring as heck
