A Bunch of Dice in a Trench Coat

I've been feeling crazy emotional about the final update to Destiny 2 releasing in just a few days. This game was just such a big part of my life and has gotten me through so many tough moments and I'm sure even years after this update it will still be helping me through tough times. The new trailer and dev insights and TWIDs that have been released as part of Monument of Triumph just really showed all the care and love the entire Bungie team put into this update and the energy devoted to making sure D2 got a good send off. It's strange looking back, the game's writing has influenced my own storytelling style in a major way, and I don't think I've ever seen anything else that rises to the complexity of D2's interwoven stories across mediums. For example, the little stories told through armor sets and weapon descriptions are easily missable, but they hold some of my favorite moments across the game. Loose ends pt3 from A Man with No Name remains one of my favorite stories of all time. It inspired me to play with form and write my own fanwork that purposely told a story through a weird format (as a raid guide)! I might not have realized then, but every moment I played this game has stuck with me and inspired my own life. A special shout-out here to all the teams who didn't get great feedback from the players, I loved every moment of this story you've woven. You did incredible.
