Just finished the quest for Ergo Sum. I knew that it had a random element and exotic perk going in. I wasn't sure if you got a random roll from the quest, but apparently it is since my bf got something different. And omg, I got the exact roll I wanted on the first try!! Usually I have such bad RNG in d2, so I'm quite shocked I got it on the first try! It's like the Traveler personally gave me this sword, which I guess it kinda does lol. I got one with Ticcu's exotic perk and it's a solar sword. And I love that it glows like a dawnblade when you have ammo!! I see why Saint calls this the Young Wolf's favorite sword because it kinda is becoming that very quickly. Will it be good in game? We shall see. But do I love the concept and lore and headcannon potential behind it? Yes I very much do. And I can finally use two swords and a bow at once!! My headcannon warlock set!! I'm super stoked.

I LOVE YOU GHOST

I love how expressive they made all the characters this time around! Especially the little sad smile Cayde gives us after he says, "don't ever forget that."

Destiny 2 | Infinite Cayde-6 gifs - [1/?]

I started drawing Crow based off the little bit we saw of his new drip on the cutscene. I wasn't able to see Crow in the tower like twice after completing the final shape. And then I finished my sketch (not inking it luckily), I checked the tower again and of course Crow was finally in his spot. I had to change parts of the drawing lol. I was imagining the tassels would have a feather pattern but it's fun with the hunter symbol too!

CROW'S NEW LOOK in DESTINY 2: THE FINAL SHAPE.

My biggest gripe with the Final Shape was the lack of Ikora's ghost, Ophiuchus. I know he is a very quiet ghost and he and Ikora don't have the best relationship (they had a period where they didn't talk for a good 61 years and there is a lore entry this season where Ophiuchus thinks about how he and Ikora are still very much important to each other but not friends like they used to be).

I feel like maybe this could have been a good point for them to reconnect a bit of what they've lost over the years. Like, Ophiuchus also has been around for centuries, seen some messed up things during the dark age, seen the creation of the city, watched Ikora grow from a new light to a crucible main to one of the most important warlocks ever, seen the arrival of the black fleet, etc, etc. And we know from the lore that he is a ghost who thinks a lot and has a lot of personal theories, like the connection between ghosts and guardians that he told Sagira about. It would have been fun to see his reaction to the pale heart. Or to see his reaction to the loss of Targe. Perhaps it was a point in which Ikora tells Ophiuchus how much he means to her, even if they've had many differences and fights over the years.

I know Bungie doesn't like adding too many characters into narrative at once, which I totally understand, but this felt like a time for at least a little bit of dialogue between Ikora and Ophiuchus.
