Skolas Rules, Raids, some thoughts on D1 v D2, etc. (Destiny)

Totally agree! I went backwards from D2 to (very recently) D1, and just finished WOTM for the first time this past weekend. Aksis was a lot of fun, but it was interesting playing an encounter that I'd heard a ton about as requiring a lot of coordination... and then being like "Wait, that was it? Calus and Argos required way more communication..."

It seems like everyone on the Destiny subreddit far prefers the D1 raids, but as someone who played D2 first, I feel like Leviathan and EOW are both incredibly well-designed experiences. Between the gorgeous visual and sound design for both D2 raids, and the audacity of the encounter mechanics (plus my own personal affinity for co-op puzzle solving and platforming challenges), I put them both up there with the best video game levels I've ever played.

(BTW - Old-time HBOer here who missed out on D1 due to life stuff and hasn't been on bungie.org in ages, other than a couple of recent games with Claude - hi man!)
