The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent
vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums
here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules
document is now in effect.
The current plan is to attempt to start the Holiday Forums on December 23rd sometime during the day. During this time, the Future State Planning Center will remain open. The Holiday Forum merge will last (if Vanilla cooperates) until January 3rd.

@squall99x is describing to you story details revealed in-game via the Lore Book titled The Drifter, as well as information revealed during the Malfeasance questline and attached to the Malfeasance gun.
It's in the game. Moreso than EA Sports.

I mean...technically, I guess? But it doesn't come up in dialogue, or cut-scenes, or any of the stuff that's not squirreled away 3 menus deep, which basically means it's not in game for any player who doesn't feel like spending time searching for it.
crazy
by which i mean can know what i have and haven't unlocked?
i want to read the stuff i've unlocked, and it honestly feels like a total waste of time to in-game, but i have all the time in the world at work
but i don't want to read things i haven't unlocked yet
monkey paw much? never satisfied? maybe
It's about the only thing its good for tbh
Creating vignettes for the lore pieces would be an amazing solution, but it would also mean less Lore gets created, and that would make me sad.

oh nice
cool deal

Well it’s more like destiny tries to put up a big wall between the background stuff and the main stuff and anytime they cross over it extremely sucks

Starfire protocol and frosties too. but... meh.
Certain stories have these really great and flowery prose that would probably sound really cringey read aloud, but then again I'm the kind of guy who watches lore videos to fall asleep so who knows
Hmm, this may explain why I've been stuck at 7/10 for so long.
I just need those last 3 kills and then the ship and sparrow and I've got my title.
My take on that was
It doesn't come across well in the cinematic, though, because it's shown from Uldren's perspective, rather than that of Petra lining up her shot. They probably could have had her miss by less, too.

AFAIK it has every single lore card from D1 and every single lore entry, on the guns and the armour and in the triumph screen, from D2.
It's not the greatest organized, it's a very loosely tagged database, but it'll get you what you want. For some of the stories that are spread across an entire armour set you need to sit there with a second window open with the names of the armour pieces so you know which to open and in what order.
NB: If you haven't finished the Forsaken campaign yet, don't read Shryke's spoiler.
The lore works really well going from stuff in game to the lore entries. "Oh, it's the Leviathan, what's up with this place? Oh, here's lore entries covering it all, that's cool".
Where it tends to fall apart a bit is when the people writing the ingame dialogue and such try to put the stuff in the lore entries back into the game (Osiris, like everything Ghost says throughout the D2 campaigns, the complete lack of acknowledgement of what is supposed to be going on with us and Calus in game for the most part, etc, etc)
yeah my issue with ishtar collective is reading stuff i haven't unlocked yet and also the organization heh
Yor's Ghost abandoned him (unlike the other Dredgen folks who killed theirs). It is theoretically possible it later returned to Yor and brought him back.
But as I got more Gambit lore drops, it lost some plausability. I find it far more likely that Drifter i just a parallel operator. But I wouldn't be too surprised by some about face later from Bungo and Yor returns, even if not Drifter.
I suspect/hope we will get some resolution to all this come Joker's Wild.
Drifter's supposed to be one of the first Lightbearers whom I'm fairly certain it was said during Rise of Iron did not have Ghosts. Even the Iron Lords are pre-Ghost and they were well after Drifter.
Yeah you’re right, my criticism is a little unfair. The stuff with petra, Mara, R, the barons and Uldren is a really successful melding of expanded universe stuff and a simple fun story

The Spider is pretty great, too. Variks was fun but The Spider is the most lore-flavored Fallen we've come across in either game.
I'm pretty sure all Risen/Guardians have Ghosts at first. It's how they are all initially raised.

didn't ghosts come after the collapse though?
darkness shows up, collapse happens
ghosts are released by the traveler to create guardians
is i thought how the timeline goes
Well all of this stuff is world building tertiary stuff that isn't directly related to main "story" of the game. It's not feasible really to have all of that stuff presented in a cinematic front row fashion. To be fair - I am almost always amazed that people in general are so resistant to, you know, reading. Hell all of Destiny people bitched that the grimoire wasn't in the game. Now its in the game and people bitch that you have to hit buttons to access it.
I am the constant bitcher!

That's what I thought as well but apparently there were no Lightbearers prior to the Ghosts. I could have sworn there being cards saying the Iron Lords just had Light, no Ghosts, but googling reveals that Lord Saladin still has a Ghost and there were Iron Lord grimoire cards about how various specific Lords' Ghosts were destroyed by SIVA/Rasputin. So I'm wrong. Which isn't unusual.
well shit
One of the better examples of this is Rezyl Azzir (sp?) who they follow from way back in the past to when he makes the decisions that turn him into
i need to read back through a lot of stuff
i remember like snippets of things but chronology especially is really fuzzy for me
Ishtar Collective, my man. It's almost as bad as wookiepedia for instantly stealing 4 hours of your life.
