And the real magic was that Osiris, the first expansion to the painfully shallow vanilla, was A W F U L

The worst piece of content ever added to the game.

Even its big holiday event (the Dawning, AKA the Pawning) was a straight "Pay $10 to experience one interval of Event"

Osiris was just so terrible all around. They ruined the character of Osiris, he should have been a forever trapped in time with fragments from other timelines. He needed to still be a thing of myth and legend, not just "Oh hey cool I"m back now, k thanks". And Brother Vance, god they just hosed up any possibility of him being cool. The followers of Osiris could have been this cult that's borderline between good and evil.

And all of Mercury, ever since the first lighthouse (which I never go to go to) I had wanted it to be a destination, and it had so much promise. A vex machine world, I mean that's like the coolest sentence ever. There's more vex poo poo on Io. It should have been wild, with vex tech everywhere, and burning death sun beams to avoid. It could of been so much, a real destination.

The time shifted versions of the world should have been worked into Patrol. 2 big teleports on either side of the map that move you to more of the destination, but either in the past or the future. There's some great geometry in Osiris that's only used for story/adventure that would have been great in patrol. Like the town area where you can be onto of buildings or fighting in the streets.

Osiris makes me angry, it could have been so much more, and then it did introduce a good mechanic, the Prophecy weapons and the system to get them, and in true bungie style, was abandoned instead of furthered.

The best part is we discover Osiris, reunite him with his ghost, get him talking with Ikora again, and after we burninate the final boss Bungie leaves him stuck in the forest doing some dumb rear end simulations. He loving rebuilt the poo poo the guardians destroyed and the same boss returned to cause problems.

That's some bestseller tier writing right there!

I like how the Terrible Truth Osiris learns that gets him kicked out of the Tower is just "we suck and get owned in the future".

Meanwhile, the game opens with everyone sucking and getting owned, Destiny 1 starts right after guardians get owned so hard the moon explodes a little, and the Vault of Glass is about preventing all of reality from getting owned. In the background, the Future War Cult can't find a future that doesn't end in everyone getting owned except the one where you buy Destiny 2 and finish the Red War campaign.

Osiris was poorly done, but is hard to do that correctly. "Never meet your heroes". If you ever meet your favorite action movies heroe, you may find you are more tall than him, or that he looks less stronger than in the movies. That sort of things.

I am not writer, but I imagine the solution to that is not show the character too much, and introduce even greater mysteries. You are going to make the character way less mysterious, you need to introduce new mysteries so the quantity of mystery in the story remain constant.

Osiris is show as a lonewolf dude. Where before he looked like the head of a powerful organization working from the shadows. The destruction of Brother Vance character maybe is more a failure than that?, If brother vance where showed has a more mysterious figure, and suggested or show he is part of a larger group, he could have ended being more "that dude that live in mercury that is a idiot and is idiot fanboy of idiot osiris".

The Destiny 1 mercury map was way cooler than the thing we got in Destiny 2. Sometimes Bungie do something really cool, then forget about it.

I really hope they revisit this concept at some point. Not only did the Festival of the Lost include a version of the Infinite Forest that looked like a proof of concept for what it was originally sold as, but the Dreaming City Ascendant Plane mechanics are really similar to doing time-shifted Vex stuff.

What I'm saying is they should add a new destination on Mercury, either in Year 3 of D2 or in D3, that uses Vex time travel the way that the Dreaming City uses the Ascendant Plane.

This happens all the god-drat time.

• They created the weapons of sorrow with a damage over time weapon that's a different damage type (not void, solar or arc) then abandon it as a concept
• A random daily short mission on the Moon with a turret that just shows up suddenly (never furthered or used again)
• Sidearms for the longest time were "Well we made you 2 of them, what more do you want?"
• Festival of the Lost, seriously they didn't have one ready to go when D2 launched.
• Swords of Crota, Wolves and Taken invading
• Bounties that offer up an interesting thing, but are not logically extend out to others (IE: get sniper kills, but no get sword kills, or get shank kills, but not other enemy types)
• Tanks, they started to see more love near the end of Y1, but like they put their tried and true Bungie vehicle magic into the game, and then never returned to them.
• The Farm
• Artifacts
• 3 of Coins lol
• At this point all of Xur
• The Hive (I seriously want to write a loving thesis on how the Hive have changed)
• Rasputin and Warminds in general. They didn't as much get forgotten as Bungie forgot what they were supposed to be


I will say Bungie has picked up some interesting things that were abandoned and made them really cool. I think what they've done with Toland is great (for fucks sake, he needs to stay a spark voice, don't let us pull him out of an ascendant realm or some bullshit), The Queen and the Reef have become way more interesting than I could have expected.

Yeah, all the old destinations need a good revisit. I know that new geometry and art are massive time and money sinks. And it's hard to justify going back. I'd personally pay for an expansion that redid a previous expansion I bought, but I'm sure reddit would bitch and moan, make death threats and send SWAT teams to bungie dev's houses. And with anything major like that you risk fragmenting your audience.

Feathers were a thing with the egyptians, but I lack the bird knowledge to know if the feathers Osiris wore were from an ostrich. Here in america most people only get as far as "feathers for clothing? that's native american!!"
