Destiny 2's Lore & Story leaves an interesting question. What happens to humanity after the Final Shape? If we defeat the Witness, what happens to the Guardians? Will our allies in the Awoken, Cabal and Fallen still fight with us if the threat has passed? Is it possible that humanity could become an interstellar empire? Today I discussed those questions in more detail.

  • I want Torabatl. I want to go and help the Cabal Ascendancy throw Xivu Arath off their planet.
  • It would be a real curveball if the Awoken in the Distributary returned after billions of years locked away, unrecognisable by time and isolation, transformed, incomprehensible, and incredibly hostile.

    In the Vex Mythoclast's lore tab, it says: "The Mythoclast is a Vex instrument from some far-flung corner of time and space, mysteriously fit for Human hands. It's origins, mechanism of action, and ultimate purpose remain unknown. Perhaps it will reveal itself to you, in time..." This always made me very curious, espectially the last bit of it which suggests we are going to figure it out at some point. Would love to see this!
  • @WhoisPersona
    I would love to see us explore the true origins of the Traveler and how exactly something so powerful ended up in our Universe. Perhaps we could end up meeting more of its kind or even its creator .

    There are two potential stories I’m curious about, and they may link to each other. The 1st being with Clovis Bray. Last time I checked, he wasn’t happy with in Season of the Seraph and might be a potential threat for us to deal with. The 2nd story involves the Vex portal on Europa. On the other side is a Vex forge star, and I’m curious to see what it will look like
  • I REALLY want them to expand on the Aphelion because they sound absolutely menacing
  • @orangesoda51414
    I would love to see a destination that's just one MASSIVE social space. Like a full on exploration of the deeper parts of neomuna, the last city, or efrideet's guardian colony. No big bad Enemies, no world ending threats; just a buncha secrets, vendors, and whatnot for us to discover new weapons and exotics akin to cyberpunk or something
  • @redfalcon8062
    Since we're dealing with Xivu Arath next. I'm assuming we're gonna go to a destroyed and invaded Torobatl to help Caiatil to settle a score with her.
  • @Panthorius
    Take note that after we destroy the witness, bungie devs did state that there was more that we had to do to prevent the witnesses actions. My guess is there will be a collective effort similar to what we have done in prior seasons.
  • @RodrigoLeaf15
    One thing I would love to see after the Witness' defeat is our allies settling on the Solar System alongside Humanity. Torobatl may be reclaimed, but the damage could be so deep that it would be uninhabitable for the Cabal, so maybe the Vanguard offers Caiatl to settle on Mars (as was teased on the first mission of Witch Queen), and we could recover the planet as a patrol zone, with the patrols and events themed around aiding the Cabal in settling down there :D Then the Eliksni, depending on how Eramis' story concludes, Riis-Reborn is there and could be a neutral Eliksni city. Maybe the House of Light chooses to stay on the City, under the Traveler, and they could help humanity to reclaim other parts of Earth (I NEED MORE EARTH ZONES ASIDE FROM EDZ AND COSMODROME D:)
  • @wearsjorge55
    Im excited to see the vex take center stage after final shape. Being the original big baddies before all the retcons/reboots/changes has always interested me and the concept art from D1 is still awesome to look at today
  • @JynMojito-xp2yp
    The Cabal Atheneum Worlds would be a cool bit of lore to dig into and see! Lots of opportunities there for exploration, and perhaps deep, unfathomable horrors 👀
  • @ready1player31
    What I think is, well, do any other threats even pose a real threat if we can beat the Witness? The only way I can see that is... if the main character (us) suffers a final death.
  • @szxnv
    Thanks for always updating us, i usually hop on once every few weeks and rely on your channel because although i don't really play the game anymore, this channel has kept me invested into the story
  • @haydenb8911
    Thank you byf for doing this incredible work for us! I enjoy every single one of your videos, and I know a lot of other people do too!
  • @dudebruh8534
    Marathon and it's live service seasons is whats next.
  • I would love to see a few episodes go further into each class and their vanguard using the darkness alongside the light. Also a few focusing on the different subspecies of human, getting closer and more understanding on the awoken, exos and human guardians plus seeing them interact with their respective parts would be cool.
  • @kennersboy3218
    I know this probably won't happen but I want something with siva so badly
  • @79bigcat
    Just like how there are distinct human factions, bear in mind that there are still splinter factions of our coalition allies. House Salvation, even discounting the Shadow Legion, Caiatl doesn't have full loyalty of the Cabal either, Sol Divisive and perhaps other, more potent Vex clusters out there, apparently at least one is gestalt enough to refer to itself as "I" and actually communicate to hold Neomuni children for ransom, Taken rallying behind one of their own with enough will to remain intact as we've seen with Riven. Then there's the possibility that threats need not be so external. Even if all Red's tech was destroyed, you think Clovis didn't keep the blueprints? We know he's steamed after Season of the Seraph, so he'll gladly take any chance he gets to avenge his ego. Mara always has plans and schemes, and we know from the Worm that some of them involve disposing of us. Her greater good may dictate betrayal at some point. Drifter may still have part of his bargain with the IX to fulfill. What that'd entail, I don't know. But, they're still very much a wild card to consider.
