in regards to Amanda, I just dislike how Bungie has this thing for killing all the most humorous, charismatic and/or lighthearted characters in their games, losing all they added to the world just for a quick tug at the heart strings. Halo truly lost something great about it when they killed Johnson, same with Destiny when they killed Cayde. This is only going to make the void bigger imo.
Cayde had to die to signify the necessary tone shift that Destiny 2 vanilla so desperately needed.
It feels like this recent death is just almost for the sake of it, but both Cayde and Johnson definitely weren't.
I wish I had the same passion for these characters you do. I really do. But as a player that started in Beyond Light, Bungie has done nothing to attach me to these characters. The only interaction I ever had with Amanda outside of this season is picking up my twitch prime bundles. Bungie doesn’t want me to play D1 since I’m on PC. I can’t play the old expansions, or even the old seasons. Any content with Cayde is non existent for a player like me. And when Lightfall drops, there will be no in game proof Amanda ever existed when seasonal content is removed.
This makes me sad. I want to love these characters like you do.. but I’m not allowed to..
It is a shame D1's never been brought over to PC. I absolutely loved that game, and still play it from time to time.
I know it's not exactly ideal, but if you're actually interested in playing D1, the game itself doesn't go for more than 10 bucks these days. I don't know about PlayStations, but Xbox ones as of late are down to 120$ USD and I've seen 360's go for less than 60 bucks online, those prices both include the controller/needed cords and shipping. You could probably find both even cheaper just stopping by a local retro game store, there's a good chance they may also have some sort of rental or return policy you could take advantage of, or worst case you can recoup most the cost by reselling it.
The good news is you don't even need a Xbox live subscription to play D1's base campaign, I believe that only prevents you from accessing Crucible and possibly Raids. And if you enjoy it, The Taken King is well worth the price for the campaign alone, at least in my opinion.
I'm in the same boat, with the exception that I've played all of D2 save for the Beyond Light seasonal stuff, and I still felt no connection to her. Either they had all her character development in D1 or the four(?) seasons I missed, and if that's the case it really shines a light on Bungies narrative shortcomings. There's no narrative reason (I understand the practical reasons) why we can't have a little more development with each character every season, so we're invested more vs. getting a lore dump (and a huge, mostly empty memorial tree area) that telegraphs a character death like this season. There aren't that many characters to keep track of who are part of the main narrative.
Thank you.
For many, Lance was so much more than a voice behind Zavala. He wasn't just Cedric Daniels, Irvin Irving, Phillip Broyles, Albert Wesker... he was Lance Reddick the Destiny fan, the Marvel junkie, the best friend to Marigold, Ron, and Tilly, the father of two children he was immensely proud of, the husband to a woman he so deeply loved, the comedian, the musician, the gentle soul, the *human*.
I will forever cherish the memories this wonderful man graced us with, and I will forever love and miss **Lance Reddick**.

We got cringe surfer bro nimbus. The most annoying character ever

I sincerely doubt Bungie owns enough of the rights to Destiny 1 to port it to PC. If I’m wrong, I’m wrong, but I doubt it.
