Destiny 2 Lore Expert Andyedition in interview - about potential heroes and true lies

Destiny 2 has developed a great story. All connections always to understand correctly, but is not easy. Andy edition, the German Destiny 2-Lore expert, tries to unravel all the puzzles in his videos. Mango has led an interview with him and talked about the current story in Season 15 and the future of Destiny 2.

The story of Destiny 2 has moved many players in their spell over the years. From heartbreaking moments of the trap to shadowy rich scenes, the keepers have experienced a roller coach of the feelings during the story. The unstoppable powers of the darkness against the immortal carrier of light. And in the middle of it is Marathon, which holds all the threads in his hand. It is the witch king, main character in the new extension, which appears in February 2022.

The German Lore expert Andy edition is a good point of contact with its videos if players want to know more about the history of Destiny 2 — without having to read in everything. He tries to unravel the game, which is notorious to have a story that is difficult to understand.

Who is Andy edition actually?

Andy edition started towards the end of 2016 to upload videos to YouTube over the stories in Destiny. Within a short time, his community grew up, and it was quick to clear that he can inspire many fans.

Not only does he have interesting storytelling videos and their own theories of history, but also a special way to report on the most exciting things in the Destiny 2 universe.

Mango has talked to him about the development of the current story and his personal intention for this particular shooter adventure.

Andy, how did you come to Destiny 2? What has drawn you specifically?

Anderton: I was a big Destiny-1 fan and played it since the beta. When Destiny 2 was announced, there were no doubt that I will play it from the first minute.

Many players are just fascinated by the Destiny Story. Why do you think so is that?

Andy edition: The developers finally managed to pack the story with a red thread after so many years. Guardians who listen to the dialogues in the game now also get what happens without having to read in the Lore. The new Season Model, which has been the same since the season of the selected series character and told in the weekly episode format, is intended to contribute. It s almost like earlier when there were no streaming services, and we could watch a new episode of our favorite series every week on television. The current season also scores that Marathon is becoming more and more in the foreground. She is the hex king of the crowd and has been tasted for years.

What is different with other games than in Destiny? Is the new story approach of bungee really so unique?

Addition: I feel as if Bungee has taken the Tell-Tale formula and has adapted and optimized for the Destiny Universe. The main story strand you get in the game with and in the Lore texts you can get additional info or search for hidden clues. Since I do not know a game that the story can be experienced in such a form the players, I would currently be a unique since the last three Seasons.

What is the Tell-Tale Formula ? The Tell-Tale formula describes the interplay between decisions made by us in a game and the associated effects in the gameplay. Decisions so significantly influence the history and form their end. The nodes for this gradual emergence of their own adventure are the talks and many small individual sequences.

There are so many lore tic texts and mini figures in Destiny 2. A huge universe of red threads that reconnect somewhere. How to keep the overview as Destiny-2-Lore expert?

Andy edition: not honest, not at all. I always have to read things when I research for a video. For example, the books of grief I have read at least ten times and every time I interpret things differently. The lore texts are partly consciously built so that you have to read again and again.

If I can not deal with Destiny for a long time, because my private life, job, family etc. I do not allow, I always need a small refresher.

You had no longer lore videos for Destiny 2 for a while and the German Destiny 2 community really missed you in time. Then you asked your followers what you want to continue to wish. Did you play at that time with the idea of ​​stopping with the videos for Destiny 2?

Andy edition: I have to be honest, which I have often thought about to stop with YouTube. In my current occupation, I have early and night shifts. It s not easy to find a routine to work on videos. A Lore or Storyline costs a lot of time I can not always find next to my private life. Every day or my vacation only to spend to work on videos, will not make me happy either.

On the other hand, I have already thought about canceling my job and earning my money with YouTube and Twitch. Since Destiny is far from the attention in the German-speaking world, such as in the English-speaking area, that would be a great risk that I am currently not ready to enter.

Marathon is the queen of lies — Do not trust!

Let s get to the current Destiny-2 story. What do you think as a Lore expert: Should we trust Marathon? Where she is so trustworthy to us and enlighten everything more or less?

Andy edition: Marathon is not called for nothing the Queen of Lies. No, in my opinion, we should not trust her. I think she pursues her own goals. She actually has similar character characteristics such as Mara, the queen of the reef. Both want to mix in the cosmic war between light and darkness, but both would not submit to one side either. But I think that we can learn from Marathon if we read between the lines of your lies. She knows much more about the light and the darkness as it knows the tower, and we keep guards.

You recently released a video where you set up an interesting theory about light and darkness. As the traveler chooses a guardian and that Marathon may be out of it. Tell us briefly your assessment to the Season 15. The best we have ever had?

Andy edition: The season of the lost power a lot right. Trials of Osiris is so popular as never before, the fragmented rich is one of the better EVE activity, if not the best we had this year, and the story takes full speed. The first weeks with the Season 15 were very exciting and personally tied me every week for hours to the screen. Unfortunately, Season 15 is stretched, since yes the hex king extension has been postponed to the next year. Thus, we have no new content for 1-2 months and still need to wait for the final of the seasonal story. This gives the Season 15 a small damper, as well as every season this year.

Story technically we now see the large players enter the place, Marathon, Mara So — the Queen of the reef, SIVU Wrath and the entity. The history of the season 15 builds on forsaken and that was the best extension for Destiny 2, so everything is so exciting what we experience this season. That caused me to look at all sequences and read the Lore books we got at that time. So I came to the theory like Marathon from the traveler could be selected. If I m really lying right, we will soon have another picture of our traveler.

THE THE THEORY That s, reveals Andy edition in this video:

The community has discussed great on Samira. Do you think she was transformed and is now the reincarnated spirit of Marathon? A certain similarity is not to be denied by hand.

Andy edition: Honestly, I have not been busy with this question. Of course, Marathon could use her knowledge about necromancy, which she has learned from Norris in the season of arrival to revive Samira. There are also interesting statements about Samira in the Destiny-1 Grimier cards. For example, Lysander said the leader of a former faction banished by the tower (Concordat), Osiris has been revived by a faulty mind. As you now interpret and whether it will play a role in connection with the current events, remains to be seen.

Destiny 2 has told many great stories to this day:

I think you to have noticed the great misery of bungee that the entry for new players is not easy. Do you think the Destiny 2 player and fans, as you are also one, can really close the gap for bungee for the story? Or are you the view, Bungee has to find a way to tell new players the story from the beginning?

Andy edition: With Beyond Light, the Komodo and the New Light Quest, Bungee has managed to make the game entry for new players a bit easier. So you now have to get along with the story, this little insertion right on the top of the card is absolutely not enough to explain the story to new players. On YouTuber, like me, Bungee may not leave, because not every new guardian about YouTube videos wants to catch up.

With this big universe what you created, it would simply be wasted potential if you will not soon show a rough summary of previous events in the game. I would even celebrate it when Bungee would offer all campaigns as extra download, so that new players can experience the story even.

Here is the question: do you think, players who later get into the game have a chance to track the story correctly? Do you have to do that?

Andy edition: Destiny has different types of players and not everyone is interested in the stories in the game. You can also play the game without paying attention to the story. But so you miss a tremendous fascination of this franchise. I think Bungee has noticed that now, and therefore they also focus on the history and the individual characters.

We have already experienced a great change when we compare, as the Destiny-2 release, which Story has been told and how this is made up. Now you can not decrease as a developer or satisfy yourself with the laurels.

Almost has already reported in detail on this topic:

We come to the currently controversial character: Crow Alias ​​Alden So. How is your opinion about him? Did he leave his old character behind? Is he currently the only guardian who still knows all the details of his first mortal life?

Andy edition: Crow has already helped and experienced a lot in the short time as guardians. Just when he found his destiny, as a servant of the traveler, his past brought him back, and he got to know Alden So, his old me. LDE s devotion to Mara So never let him achieve his full potential as he pursued only the goals of his sister.

In the past he was just a puppet, and he is today, in my opinion, still. He is with certainty a puzzle part of Marathon s great plan, whether he wants or not. But now I believe where he knows the whole truth, he will find his own way sooner or later. That will be anything but easy for him. It would not be surprised if he dies one day, a hero die and a real legend in the Destiny universe becomes.

Maybe not the only guardian. As far as I know, Shin Sulfur, a hunter, can remember his prehistory. Shin is currently the only guardian who uses a spirit of another deceased guard. He was chosen by his mind without he died.

We are theoretically died in Season 9!

Bungee has tailed a death with spoiler alarm and also confirmed. They just did not betray who will meet. Tell us who is most likely to question you and why.

Addition: Push, to answer such a question is not that easy. Even though I love talking about theories, you can quickly bleed and take a completely wrong way. After we saw the trailers the witch king, the logical answer would be Marathon, she dies and is brought to life as a light carrier.

But it s rare in the Destiny Universe, as Marathon Osiris is hiding and the 14th saint would make everything for his beloved Osiris, here is also a lot of space for speculation.

When we reclaim the season of dusk in Season 9 and the corridors of the time, to our tomb and the speech of the 14th saint, then it would be theoretically even possible that we would die guarders. Already at that time you have seen the symbol / logo of the witch king when you enter the corridors of the time. I do not think so, but Bungee is always good for surprises.

Thank you very much for this insightful interview and the trouble you always put in your videos. You continue to success. We hope that the Destiny 2 community will also get you and your videos of interesting perspectives on the story in the future and your videos.

Here is your Andy edition: If your Andy edition wants to experience live you will find its lore and story videos on YouTube. On his Twitter and Facebook Channels, he posts news about new videos and story throw.

Around Destiny 2, there are also discussions outside the Lore and again discussions about everything possible. So the game has its own fashion magazine with the name Threads of Light. But that could be just on the can t, because too many guardians nagging: Destiny 2 developer is mad at your fashion statement — if you move further, it was that
