That's crutchlocks players, instead of raining death from the sky they hold their super back until they die, then when they do they use their super and you can snipe them straight back in the head.

That was a specific piece of armor that had no cool down and you you could do 2 dodges. I was just trying to be an rear end in a top hat because that was such a terrible opinion.

Generally you can shuffle all items, but armor can only be equipped by their own class.

Stuff that you couldn't shuffle between characters included poo poo Bungie believed it would be too / progression breaking op like tokens for activities that would have sped you up (see: court of oryx tokens).

Okay new questions :

1) Are there any automated-turret type items and abilities? Something similar to Roland/Axton at all?
2) I want to know as much backstory as possible before playing. Are there any good sites to read up on all the lore and story both BEFORE the games, as well as all the lore that was added in Destiny 1?
3) If I like huge-rear end armored Titan looks and pick Titan over the other two classes, will my DPS be noticeably lower than other people?

1) no one like that, you get to do all the damage yourself

2) http://www.ishtar-collective.net is the best resource I have found, it groups a lot of grimoire stuff chronologically and lets you get the story stuff in an order that makes some sense. It also links to a cool timeline. If you like podcasts check out Destiny Ghost Stories. They're long winded and they tend to go off topic a lot (this results in a lot of episodes being way loving longer than they need to) but they deep dive into the lore quite a bit and they have some readings of grimoire cards that are pretty good.
3) Every class should be able to dps in this game, that stuff is much more dependent on weapons and builds vs any particular class.

Honestly the opening cinematic to Vanilla Destiny tells you everything you need to know.

In roughly today times, we detected some weird poo poo going on in Mars. We sent modern day astronauts out there and we found a big sphere (The Traveler) that was busy making it rain on Mars. Like literally, sky water.

The Traveler followed us back to earth and helped technology advance at a more rapid pace than ever. We colonized all the planets that it terraformed for us and lived through many many years of The Golden Age.

The Darkness™ came for the Traveler and killed all our off world colonies and dick punched the Traveler so hard that all he could do was die on top of The Last City, Earth, creating the first Safe Space seen since 2017.

This was called the Collapse. At some point a bunch of tiny gay robots flew out of the Traveler's butt hole and revived dead bodies across earth to serve as Guardians, which are the player characters, in order to beat off the Darkness with both hands!

The events of Destiny 1 are completely insignificant. Some bad guys were introduced and defeated.

Literally no progress was made on the plot line established in the opening cinematic (Revive the Traveler and determine what The Darkness was)

Destiny 2 happens because a) the guardians bring Rasputin back online, massively loving the Cabal's poo poo up on Mars and b) the guardians killing so many of the Cabal's high command they have to call the Empire for help.

yeah i think if there's any narrative connection at all it's that Ghaul didn't know where the traveler was, and does now, hence he shows up in D2

D1 expansions also struggled a bit with scale.

Taken King - A reality-bending literal God has turned his gaze upon the world of Men. We will have to ascend into his ethereal realm, harness the very power of the Darkness itself, and kill his immortal soul through a forbidden arcane ritual. At long last, this timeless threat has been ended.

Note that all of this happened before Destiny 1 and the ENTIRE plot of Destiny 1 is irrelevant to Destiny 2 because nothing happened.

Bungie straight up forgot to do anything with the Traveller and all of Destiny 1 was about fighting some Hive jerks because they were in our solar system.

Upside, anybody joining us for Destiny 2 won't be left out really at all.

There's a ton of backstory lore stuff like Dark Souls, but the actual game story is very minor and mostly cheesy.

There's a lot of really loving weird scale issues in this video.

You go from the Fallen, which are just four-armed space scavenger types, to the Hive which are servants of the Darkness with immortal gods and poo poo, to the Vex which are time-travelling robots that can erase people from time and somehow this is less of a threat than the Cabal?

If a race can 'go back in time' and 'erase people from time' how the gently caress can anything be a bigger threat than them?

E: In a weird way a lot of this reminds me of DBZ, what with wish-granting dragons and a space god you kill only to have his dad show up to attack later on.
