The next Destiny 2 expansion (Lightfall) will finally get rid of power level it seems. Which is good, it was an arbitrary gatekeep to activities.
There is a great story there, problems are:
- They have always done TERRIBLE at making it clear where you go next to advance it. When I first started playing (in the Red War days) I wandered the EDZ for months because I had no idea what to do, but it was still fun to explore.
- The Developer Who Shall Not Be Named (who is no longer in a role to ruin this more, at least) came up with the idea of "vaulting" both guns AND THE FREAKING SINGLE PLAYER STORY CAMPAIGNS when they got too old. So, no, Red War and Forsaken (which was an awesome story in it's own right) are not available to new players. For all intents and purposes, the story now starts with Shadowkeep (which is still good, I loved it, creepy as * and got me thru the first year of the Pandemic).
At least now they have admitted and they are working on:
- Making it easier to find the next story beat.
- They will no longer vault any story expansions.
- They are also trying to put more lore in the gameplay and cutscenes, rather than in digital books you read (that make it hard to know what order these happened in).
Oddly, as disjointed as it can be, I still feel Destiny 2 respects my time a LOT more than Apex.

@Kyldenar Is Destiny easy to get into? Never played it before other than I believe a demo or beta way back in the ps3 days.
- Kyldenar4 years agoSeasoned Ace@Cheese9Man Well, as a lot is free to play (Patrols, Strikes, Gambit, PvP) I would say it's best to download on Steam, see what you think. If you like the basics, then I would go with Witch Queen expansion first (most recent story) unless you want to play in order, in which case you start with Shadowkeep (Moon's Haunted. {loads gun with intent}).
