I adore how even mundance corridors are jazzed up with planted skylights, fountains, ponds, and encased trees.īehind the scenes of the arcology, you also find the game's most unashamedly Aliens parts. Titan is old-fashioned Earth sci-fi where we fill a metal bubble with tower blocks and gardens. The Dreaming City is the Awoken equivalent, I suppose, but it's all space elves and magic dragons. The arcologies might be ruined and overrun but they're a tonal note the game doesn't have anywhere else. The contrast the arcology provides gives such a strong sense of everything we lost. While Earth's survivors now huddle behind mile-high walls in The Last City, once we were properly a spacefaring civilisation spread across the solar system. We get to tour one of these in Destiny 2 and it is: very good. Upon visiting Saturn's moon of Titan, we found methane oceans crackling with energy and thought "Yeah, let's live here." We lived in luxury, even, in arcologies with the lush gardens and sci-fi curves of Mass Effect's Citadel. Of anywhere in Destiny 2, Titan best shows what humanity had achieved in our 'Golden Age'. Let me show you some favourite spots!įor all its spaceships and rayguns, Destiny is post-apocalyptic, with humanity still barely holding on centuries after a cataclysmic chain of kickings from assorted aliens. It is one of my favourite destinations, an alien waterworld where humanity once lived in great arcologies. just in case, I have been spending a little more time on Titan. Internet, eh? At this point, I don't believe it. There is no real evidence to support this but I've seen some folks start repeating it as a given. It'll be a dramatic show of force from the Darkness sweeping through the solar system, so the story goes. One weirdly persistent Destiny 2 fan theory is that Bungie are planning to fully obliterate and remove one of the MMOFPS's areas, the Saturnian moon of Titan.
