I'm running the big brain:  I'm not touching crucible =P  MAYBE next iron banner...depends on the armor.  Generally I can't stand PVP in destiny since 75% of the times I'm killed, I have no idea what I could have done differently.

 

I generally always avoided it aside from pinnacles but I ran it some last night just to see what kind of state it was in. You definitely have to set your armor for just resilience and recovery but otherwise, I used a variety of weapons to decent effect. Single fire weapons still reign supreme as hand cannons and scouts and shotguns were the main thing I saw but it was a decent time. PvE is still the draw for me and the challenge of harder content. Haven't touched the raid yet but I'm hoping it's not obscenely easy. The Last Wish and Leviathan were great but I know most people never cleared them without cheesing them. Still felt good to do it correctly and finally clear it after about 8 hours each lol

Lance Reddick died. Zavala dying in game almost has to happen next season. I know they could generate his voice via AI with all the hours of dialogue they no doubt have of the voice, but it wouldn't seem right.

Absolutely sucks. Great actor, always seemed like a great guy too.

I saw today and was shocked.  Such a cool dude, dog lover and great character actor.  He was always so fun to watch.  It sucks.

Bungie will try their best to honor him, but you know the community will hate it, regardless of whatever it is.

You kill Zavala. That's the right thing to do. You fuging scrap the opening for next season that you had planned, you do enough AI work with his voice to bridge the end of the season to the beginning of next, and Zavala goes down like a badass protecting Ikora, thus healing that relationship allowing her to grieve fully.

Then we fug poo up hard against the Shadow Legion and The Witness. Take down whoever the next Lieutenant is going to be (or I could see a Hive arc to sort of shake it up. I know we just had an entire expansion that was Hive focused, but Curse of Osiris has me wary of Vex focused seasons lol

Yep.  I think that Zavala is going to go.  Would be fitting as he's been here the entire time.  I'm not sure they'll do an AI performance, out of respect to Reddick and their desire to not use AI.  I think with the quantity of his line work, they will have something they can edit together.  But Commander Zavala has to go out with a bang, something Heroic.

Then does the Vanguard go away with the end of Light and Dark?  Or what else happens?  Oh, here's an interesting video about how lightfall was actually not in the plans, which would explain a LOT.

I think the light and dark ends with the meeting of the two and them becoming one. Just as we've managed to use and master both the Light and Darkness.

 

What the story is beyond that, idk. I'd say it's likely that they are going to have to create an entirely new storyline that isn't a rehash. No shot it becomes "Hive still want the power"
