What is on your Destiny lore wish list?
What's on your Destiny lore wish list? Destiny is host to vast swathes of lore, characters, and stories, and some areas recieve more attention than others. So if there was a single area of Destiny's lore that could or should have a moment in the spotlight, what would it be? Go wild.
(Obviously there's the immediate stuff; the Veil, the Witness, the Black Fleet, etc... hopefully answers for these are coming soon.)
I'll go first:
At the top of my lore related wish list would be the Destiny Universe equivalent of a Bestiary. Either as an in-game lorebook, in which new entries are unlocked by slaying the associated creature, or as a physical Grimoire Anthology that goes over all the major enemies and creatures that call the Destiny universe home. Heck both would be nice.
Next thing would be lore regarding the Maraid/Reef Wars lore from D1. Most D2 New Lights have no idea what the Reef Wars were or why they were important. Just reading through the synopsis of the Maraid shows how epic a conflict the Reef Wars was. Having a formal written lorebook for it would do a lot for adding to the lore of Reef and the Reef Awoken who live beyond the Dreaming City.
After that, I would love to see more Destiny comics. I don't know about everyone else, but I really enjoyed the comics on Ana Bray and Cayde-6. The Cayde's Six comic did a lot to help give some background context for Forsaken expansion. More stories like that are always be welcome, from my perspective. Comics that tell the story of characters we don't normally see, or who exist only in the lore. Characters like Shayura, Reed-7, Aisha, Sjur Eido, Lord Felwinter, Lady Efrideet, Sister Faora, Shin Malphur, Dredgen Yor, Lysander, etc...
So what's on your lore related wish list? Let's discuss, o reader mine.

2 RepliesMuch less lore but more involvement from characters in the story. Why is it that 85% of Destiny’s in game cutscenes are characters just standing around and talking to each-other with our guardian just awkwardly standing there? The only memorable cutscenes I can remember are: Caital body slamming that psion, Ana Bray killing the psions on the almighty, and Mithrax vs Eramis sword fight and the Vex invasion with Mithrax Saint and Ikora and that’s literally it. 9 years and that’s all we have because most of the story is through them talking to our ghost while fighting enemies and it’s not good enough. It doesn’t just apply to the cutscenes, but also in game. Why can’t we call in airstrikes, or for battle frames or other NPCs to come fight with us? I’m not asking for an over glorified arc soul as a teammate I just want some characters to do something! Literally anything! Like Crow, come on now Bungie how are you going to introduce this character and only do the bare minimum? I want to see him do a blade barrage, arc staff, or anything else. And I don’t just want it as a final mission type deal like when Caital showed up for one part of LF’s final mission or how Rohan and Nimbus literally did NOTHING combat related the whole campaign!!
