A small note: when exploring the Dreaming City as an Awoken character, the player Guardian is confirmed to have been a reefborn Awoken - I can’t remember if it’s part of one of the curse loop missions or a line Sedia/the Techeun quest givers in the open world have while you’re idling nearby, but they mention that some of the Corsairs recognize you as you pass at one point.

the awoken will always be the most interesting part of the Destiny universe. magical space evles they are.

When you are doing patrols in the dreaming city as an awoken, you are referred to as "cousin" compared to "brother" or "sister" when other non guardian awoken refer to their own.

As someone who fell out of playing before Shadowkeep and just got back into it, a video for each Season that just covers the high over view of each Season would be really great. There is a lot I know I'm missing and I've been piecing parts together but there is so much I can't get to because it's past seasons.

When you realize that next year some new lights will never know who cayde is, I shall return soon.

As powerful as the Awokens are, they could use a smidge of humility. They are mighty but they cannot stand alone against everything and admitting that they sometimes need help would make cooperation with the Vanguard a bit smoother.

These videos are great even for old-school D1 beta folks like me; never hurts to brush up on the lore and history before a major expansion drops.

For a split second I thought this was my gameplay as I had the exact same weapons equipped today

Perfect timing, I was just scrolling around for something to watch!

The awoken are powerful allies, but my god Mara can be an asshole sometimes

Everybody gangster til the video on the basics of Exos exceed 30 minutes.

Petra Venj... Mara's pet revenge

It always makes me smile when one of the corsairs refers to me as cousin. In most scenarios like this in other games, you're always the ubiquitous outsider who can never fit in. So it's nice to feel like I have two homes.

I'd love to know more about weapon foundries :)

While Mara is indeed a powerful and clever ally, she isn't that great of a person.

She likes to spin around these mysteries and secrets, and despite the fact we are now in an official alliance with her, she still keeps us in the dark. She even got pissed when Ghost questioned her methods and merely asked for some  accountability.

Mara also likes to paint this picture where she's a humble and benevolent ruler, when in reality she's egotistical and is willing to throw the lives of her subjects into certain death. She brags about raising the Dragon that drove her brother insane, how she cheated death all thanks to powers not entirely of her own, and how she's the Queen of a Kingdom she neglected and left to fend for itself.

And don't get me started on how she treated Uldren. She nurtured his dependence on her, treated him like a lap dog while dangling her love like a prize. And who's fault is it that Uldren was left all alone, that he was able to be manipulated and driven insane? Mara's fault. And yet she takes no responsibility.

The truth about Mara is that she's no Queen. She's a control freak who brainwashed her own people into revering her like she was a god.

How many Destiny and D2 vets just here for the lore recap?

Ngl I regret not remaking my character at the start of D2 and I wish we could pay to remake our characters without having to redo and recollect everything lol. I'd pay for it. (Honestly I kinda wish they would revamp character creation as a whole. There are so few choices and I would love to go a little more indepth. )

i like how the last part in a refrence to the last wish raid intro

21:21 He called the awoken pricks 😝 great upload

Awoken Magic, Eliksni Technology, Cabal Artillery, Human Light. The Dark Alliance is done for.
