Destiny 2 players are ruining the final mission of the season for each other by skipping the big cut scene
Destiny 2's next big expansion The Witch Queen is now just one week away—here's the launch trailer, in case you haven't seen it. But, and I'm sure this will come as a big surprise, the leadup to launch isn't going perfectly smoothly. There are bugs in the new Exorcism mission that dropped today that are keeping some unlucky players from seeing the post-mission cutscene that's meant to wrap up this season's narrative and cue up the next one. In some cases, the issues are actually preventing the mission from being completed.
Numerous complaints about both an inability to progress through the quest, and the cutscene being skipped at the end, have appeared over the past few hours on Bungie's help forum. Bungie said on Twitter that it is investigating the problem, and in the meantime has a workaround for one problem: Your progression can be blocked if you're moving too quickly on the Bridge encounter, so if that happens, double back—and, I guess, do it slower.
It's at this point I will note that our intrepid Brand Director attempted the mission at lunch, and found his progress blocked when a Hive tomb ship became lodged in a rocky outcrop, and could not be blasted loose. That required a full restart, but on the second go around things went fine. Luckily, no one in his fireteam opted to skip the closing cut scene either. Which is somehow behaviour that's possible, despite Exorcism being a mission that matchmakes you with five entirely random players.
If anyone in the fireteam skips the video after the mission ends, it will be skipped for everyone in the team. This obviously opens up the possibility of deliberate trolling, particularly by players who've already watched once on an alt and don't feel like sitting through it
