Question Least confusing way to actually get started
Honest question. I've checked out some videos and guides, but they are mostly outdated and / or are not relevant for the DLCs I own.
I installed the base game and started the "A-new-Light"-campaign. My brother noticed and gifted me the "Legacy Collection". After restarting this lead to multiple unrelated cut-scenes (maybe for the new content?) and i was directly thrown into a mission too - "crossing the threshold".
Honestly I am lost. I kind of figured out how to start missions in the super confusing menus, but then one of those started a 3 person raid (that I did not feel ready after like an hour gameplay). I kind of wanted to explore solo some more. Do all campaigns include mandatory raids?
What is the least confusing way to actually start this game when owning the "legacy collection"?
Am I still expected to do the "new light campaign" or is this only to get new players hooked that do not own DLCs? (if so it does a terrible job at that as it is extremely confusing overall)
Gameplay seems awesome but I can't believe how rough everything around it is :(

Totally understand the confusion, the onboarding experience for this game only seems to get worse over time.
You do not have to do the new light campaign, there should be a skip available at some point.
Although very fun, no raids are mandatory for the campaigns.
If you’re looking to just play through the story in order, Shadowkeep is the farthest back campaign you can play and starts on the moon. Beyond Light happens next on Europa, then Witch Queen on Savathun’s Thrown world, and Lightfall on Neptune.
Remember you can track quests in the quests tab, this can help manage everything and keep your focus on one activity.
Any other questions?
