Considering how little we’ve actually seen of them and how large they loom over the future, I think the Vex are the most logical main enemy faction for Destiny 3. I can see us helping Caitel rise to her throne, finding a new home for the Eliksni, finishing off, or at least creating a non-aggression pact with Savathun and Xivu-Arath, but none of those really seems to fit a full scale, “call all Guardians” or type of conflict in the same way a final confrontation with the Vex would be.

Honestly that would be great if destiny did a better job of in game lore. I’ve never completed a full expansion only got about 500 hour in destiny 2 and 400 of that was in one season. But destiny 2 has major issues. There so much lore entire expansions are missing, you feel like your always missing something, and for people who haven’t played several expansions that’s a lot of info. The game also does really bad with guns, I always get to max lvl and then I’m like okay now what? What guns should I be going for, how much better it a x10 wep compared to normal and so on and so on. Then you get to end game content, doing nightmares and raids and trials how the hell do you even get into it. Doing everything through discords seems so convoluted. Even the grouping system while doing that seems unnecessarily hard. Destiny 2 just isn’t a game you can just pick up, you need a million different outside things to be able to play content. 500 hours and I’ve never done trials, I’ve done one raid that people then just made into a farm of the first part and kept repeating, no idea on what guns are good, how to get them, what traits are what, it’s all just convoluted and wierd. Destiny 2 is a great game, but doesn’t attract new players and the ones it does it loses because of all the things above and all the others I haven’t written.

Sentient dark matter wants to exist in the universe and might cause massive destruction even if it's intention is just survival. And we already have some allies within them who might throw in with us and help keep the status quo.

I believe that Clovis Bray will be a great villain for the future, mainly due to issues related to the VEX, his hatred for the guardians, the traveler and his aspirations to become a God. Being an AI in fact, Clovis, could at one time or another escape into the VEX network and become a big problem, in addition to the factor having created the EXOs from a mixture of VEX and "darkness", his studies could even cause the VEX create a new division where they can actually manipulate Light and Dark as basic elements of the universe to ensure the survival of the species.

Make Earth and Sol our Home Base, our Guardians have either faded into myth or been incapacitated, and now we travel across distant stars to face a new intergalactic threat facing the whatever grows out of the FOTC/Cabal/Eliksni coalition

Perhaps an enemy bent on revenge? The powers at be have left an enormous path of destruction in their quest to catch the traveler. or the actual Darkness or even Light, something primordial.

I think the nine, especially with their aesthetic, would be pretty cool villains. Prophecy was one of the most visually impressive dungeons imo that could make for really interesting raid encounters.

A tantalizing lore hint I would like to see elaborated on is the unknown entities known as the Dreaming, who are connected in some way with the will of the Awoken people and after whom the Dreaming City was named. It could tie in well with a plotline involving the Distributary...

Imagine if, Destiny 3 opens up with a race selection screen that includes Cabal, Hive, and Fallen options due to the Traveller granting the light to more races, and each race gets it's own "intro mission" of awakening as a guardian

Project payback really needs to be a prequel. A look back into the time of Warlords, but also allow us to be other races during their crucial moments as well to really expand on lore that has not received proper spotlight.

I think there are a few other people should also be of note. In my mind Clovis Bray could become a major antagonist if he is assimilated into the Vex net, and Nokris if he can come back he would probably be the second most powerful hive left in the system now that Xivu Arath is no longer Ascendant

I really like the idea of 7 vengeful Ahamkara being aligned against the 7 of Riven's brood. Even better if you blur the lines- have some of Riven's clutch break away from Mara, have their own feelings about being raised by their broodmother's jailer. And have some of the escapees be more sympathetic- one could be like Taranis, or they could simply wish to be left alone and not come back to fight us. There's a lot of potential there, but it would necessitate fleshing out entirley new Ahamkara characters, which is a lot for one plotline even were it to expand beyond an initial campaign with some of them being important later on.

Well, imagine a super saiyan 3 witness throwing error codes at the guardian while saying the f word

What if Dark Timeline versions of good characters invade our universe? If Elsie Bray could figure it out, why couldn’t Clovis figure it out and make a connection to it? Honestly, wish dragons could probably do this as well. Even the Vex could be the primary conduit for this new enemy!

I thought it’d be kind of cool if we got a prequel character shooter about Zavala, Ikora, and Cayde. A single player campaign about before our guardian got revived, where you play as each of them and they have skill trees that you upgrade. We play missions that we’ve heard about in lore pages

What got me into destiny lore was in reading the quote attached to Young Alhamkara's spine, finding out was an Alhamkara is and then reading quote attached to Sealed Alhamkara grasps. Reading that Lil "O' guardian mine" at the end gave me chills dude.

While I would seriously love to see destiny follow a narrative of fighting other guardians, I really hope a destiny 3 doesn’t exist

I think it would be more interesting if they made a spinoff game. Maybe something like "the forest" where you are a regular human trying to survive in an island infested with hive and other races

Lol

I've got a personal theory storyline that I have that's not likely to be the case. It would take a while, but I'll summarize. Sorry for length. -it gets confirmed the Ascendant Plane was the Garden and it's just an empty husk of what it was. -Traveler/Veil was a type of dimension-style creation engine (like a dimensional terraformer) connected to the Ascendant Plane. -Their separations split caused an implosion/explosion that devastated and separated matter/consciousness within the Ascendant plane, while causing the Big Bang on the other side flooded with remnants of the Garden and formed dimensional pockets. (Read The Anomaly lore) -The Deep is a pocket that was created and filled with countless consciousnesses of the Ascendant Plane that swirled and became one/a few powerful beings without material form. They told the Witness how to become what they are. -The Distributary is a pocket of matter and potential, but had no minds or consciousnesses to form and create. Just a void until human consciousnesses entered. Mara being the first to awaken, form, set rules, etc. -The Witness is stopped from using the Pale Heart to amplify and send out the Deathsong in place of the Song of Life/Creation. But not before his actual purpose is done. The Deep mind(s) manipulated the Witness, the true Final Shape the Deep wants is crossing and having their own final shape, a body/bodies, a true form of Material existence. -The loop curse in the Dreaming City will be ended and Taken will enter the Distributary. We'll enter and learn that when Mara left it allowed the Deep to whisper in. After Mara left everything went downhill fast. Civil wars broke out, famine, factions, and after a too long a period, the pocket universe itself showed signs of slowly breaking down. Mara was the first in, the first mind, billions of years waited until she made form and rule, structure was her existence. When she left, she took the power of HER creation universe with her. While there she was like a battery pack with a million outlets that kept her strength low, but started to fill once she left.. She'll need to return and we help her try to save and stabilize the Distributary before collapse. A lot more but I've said too much already. Too weird? Not weird enough? Thoughts? Much love and have a good one.

Also, another an alternative path idea for the hiding Ahamkara (crazy just for fun.) During The Hunt, an Awoken talking to himself or to another about his home half-hearted wished to see their family or introduce their team member(s) to the fam and beauty of their home back in the Distributary. An Ahamkara nearby created an alternative means to enter, the Guardians went in wondering what it was and the Ahamkara informed the rest. They entered into the Distributary behind them and closed the portal to hide in the pocket dimension where no other could sense them. When we enter, we discover their influence and wishes caused problems, deaths, accusations, factions formed, civil war, power hungry divisions with Ahamkara acting as figureheads. They're repopulating their numbers and feasting.

I wouldn’t want a destiny game without Michael Salvatori’s music. Absolutely legendary pieces.

These stories and lore are really interesting also helps me sleep at night by rewatching some.

Something that might be done with Lysander would be setting up shop in a different settlement and inviting the Spider to come live with him, in the process fomenting a schism in House Light.

The moment Riven had us running collecting her clutch of eggs i knew we had potentiol for d3 as ahamkara wishes come with curses 🤞

I think the perfect segue into Destiny 3 would be to pull back the curtain on what the Light and Darkness actually are, and what the Traveler and the Veil actually are, only to find they're tools and forces used by things even bigger and stranger than we ever thought possible.

I'd definitely love to see more about the Distributary, as well as the Aphelion. I don't remember what Driftor said about the Aphelion exactly, but I remember that when I heard/read about it, I was instantly hooked at whatever these extremely dangerous predators could be

I think my main point of contention is that continuously, Bungie surprise us with something or someone we've never seen or heard of until the expansion/game reveal. Think about it. We didn't know about the Red Legion. About the Scorn. Hive Lightbearers. Stasis. Neomuna. If/when Destiny 3 is revealed, it's gonna be with an entirely new thing that we weren't expecting.

The thought of having a campaign where you hunt down the last 7 dragons who are crusading against Sol sounds awesome. Same with assisting in Caiatl in retaking the Cabal home world. The latter sounds more like something we'd get in an expansion. My realistic prediction is that the vex will somehow take center stage at the start of D3, and will start to take the mantel of the "main bad guy force" that I feel like the Hive currently have.

0:58 opening statement reads like every essay I ever wrote in high school

really hoping we will be getting an entire story up to final shape video before it drops 🙏

As you said that about Nezarec and his memories, my mind instantly switched to Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children, the scene where Cloud defeated Sephiroth and Sephiroth said me won't be just a mere memory 🙈

I think a civil war-esc story would be interesting, give people the option to either side between the city or the factions/Lysander, make crucible into a battleground where folks pledged to the city are on one side and factions on the other

Would love to go through the portal at the end of the Glassway and see the forge star.

Lets see how things evolve

I love the idea of fight the seven ahamkara. Like what if the vex are granted a wish from one of them that lets them simulate or use paracausal forces. Or what if we get to raise of rivens kids and instead of a sparrow we get a dragon mount. That would be sick

You mentioning Toland I had that “Omg Toland! He’s still there! Stupid floating orb I totally forgot all about him”

I'm still interested in dredgen yor and if he has any other evil guardian just imagine good vs evil guardian fighting each other like a true faction type battle

Before even watching past the first minute of the video, I just wanted to say that I kind of hope Destiny 3, or the events after the final shape, would involve us going out of our home system. It would be kind of how I imagined Destiny all those years ago when I first heard about it. A guardian, a defender of the last city, but also an explorer, heading out on new and old fronts. In the past humanity was beginning to expand through the stars in the golden age, and after this major threat, we might be able to do the same thing again. I don't know if I should say I hope for a No Man's Sky experience, but the idea of going out of our system on to new planets is very appealing

Love the story and the lore

My hopes are that Destiny 3 will be a complete refresh; new guardian, and new timeline to explore. In example, took place during the times of the Iron Lords, get to play through the rise of Siva, introduce Felwinter, It would be so good.

I like the concept of us potentially going against ourselves from a dark timeline via time travel with the crafting thing as i have an idea for retaking and rebuilding torobatl by getting memories of it from other timelines. Now this shouldn't be a main enemy but it would be fun as a one time threat

Not only could the Ahamkaras could involve the Awoken, but also the Nine, the Aphelion, and possibly the Hive. The Hive could mean Nezarec, the Psions, the Cabal. All three story plots could very much be interwoven into one big giant Destiny 3 story.

Id personally love to have the Nine as the antagonists for a while. They are so mysterious and just, unknown, that I'd love to see them be the center of something for a change

to swipe a bit of inspiration from another space series, I think it's time to boldly go where no human has gone before. torobatl and riis might just be steps on that larger journey, perhaps expansion-sized steps. may also be a way to bring mystery back into the series.

I would love for Destiny 3 to feature us on the offensive. We take back the Cabal home world. We find and conquer a real home for the Eleksni. We establish a home outside of the Reef for the Awoken. We push the Vex out of Sol, and make them play existential defense for the first time. Keep up the great work :D

Im excited for final shape and crazy were less than a month for it. Going to have took vacation and will have about a whole week to play.

Lysander coming back and starting a guardian civil war would be so cool man theres so much they could do with that

I think there's also a possibility we get a Ghaul situation for D3. As in they just invent a new big bad and story. Thing about fiction is you can just create whatever you want as long as it doesn't conflict with existing lore. So it's entirely possible we face a new enemy and story we've not even heard of yet

Thanks for this amazing video. I think the most wishful thing we could hope for is that any of these antagonists are actively implemented into Destiny 3 and that we - just as in the red war - experience a big war from first hand where we are writing history. F.ex. lots of past events such as the great hunt always were mere tales or historic events without us as a key persona in it. I wish for another event where we actively shape the history of those happenings. An Dragon war would be awesome. But so would be the Hive-Cabal war. Or the invasion of those space predators. These narratives form - for me - the most interesting plots moving forward. And even Nezerak could be a lurking force in the background for quite some time until he reveals his ambitions and plans to us.

I would love to see at the end of the final shape there is a big burst of light power sending ghosts all over the universe and in D3 we get more race options for our gaurdian like Cabal, and Eliksni or maybe Hive too

damn, you made me really really want dragons now. But going out of the system sounds SO AWESOME!

10:30 what if another way for the Nine to persist, is to fight us? this story could be similiar to the hives sword-logic, meaning that the Nine would have to fight us to stay alive.

I still think that a whole dlc should have been dedicated to the slaughtering of Ahamkara. It's a pretty major plot point. That we just skimmed over

Heres a potentially crazy “plot twist”… what if the witness going about trying to bring on the Final Shape was just it trying to prepare sol and whatnot for something far worse? The “something far worse” being whats coming in Destiny 3

I still remember a conversation with Savathun during the Season of the Lost. She said something like: Light on the one side, darkness on the other. But if you want to see the truth, you have to look up

Exactly! With the origins of the veil and traveller being so odd, it wouldn't surprise me if something created them or is a whole other party within the game of the larger universe

Lysander’s sue for peace could be entirely genuine. The government he rebelled against is effectively no more. The 7 headed structure is down to 2 military leaders who are allied with the Awoken and sects of the Cabal and Eliksni

I'm telling you though... Toland the Taken King. But yea, the Liberation of Torobatl feels like the best opening shot for a Destiny 3. If anything, the backdrop could be Torobatl and Xivu, with Nezzie showing up to make things worse.

I like the idea of zooming the scale back in to the internal politics of the last city, perhaps in tandem with the dragon plot. Like you said the dragons can shape-shift and deceive us, and I could totally see them sending a couple dragons to infiltrate the last city government and sow the seeds of division while we are away trying to fight them directly. Or straight up just in front of our faces while we're still home. If they're getting that tricky with it they could even team up with Savathun to get they're revenge by using her trickery. That might muddy things tho.

In the future I would love to see the light reembrace the Eliksni and maybe empower the Cabal. Allowing each of them to show us their unique ways of using it similar to the hive.

I don't know if anyone else would be interested in this, but I would love to see byf do a lore accurate exotic weapon tier list. Like, in universe what is the strongest exotic weapon we guardians have used between D1 and D2? In my very limited knowledge, I would think our exotic swords from D1 would be very high up the list since we forged them with the remnants of Oryx's blade. I'm guessing that thing had some juice.

cool thought, the timeline that Elsie came from. After defeating the Witness, it weakens the boundary allowing all the dark characters from her timeline to cross over to ours and vise versa
