Though, I suppose there’s some benefit in being able to read a novella while waiting for the game to load while flying between planets....  :p

As a million folks have pointed out, you actually can review your lore cards in game. You can open your inventory, click LB or L1, and read to your heart’s content as Fallen Captains teabag your corpse.  I still think it would be better to present the information to you via some dialogue or something, rather an to ask…

I agree with everything you’ve said here, except that the Saint-14 story is the best thing they’ve done.  It was totally “The Lie.”  That reveal....

I will give Bungie props for this season’s quest “The Lie.” It was really well done and did a great job of telling a piece of the game’s story from within the game. Honestly, it was some of the best work that they’ve done.

I read my lore cards in the Destiny 2 Companion apps, just like I read my lore cards in the Destiny 1 app, the way the Traveler intended. Otherwise, the Cabal will pound me into paste while I read about the Tree of Probabilities.

Let’s be fair. That’s not true.

Look, the empathy processor only has so much horsepower.  We’re giving it all we can.

You have to sue the estate because you cannot sue the pilot (because dead people lack capacity to be sued). But suing the estate is just a step on the legal treadmill that leads to suing the employer and triggering insurance coverage. The lawsuit actually names the pilot and the employer as parties.

They won’t.  The pilot’s employer is liable for his actions under a theory called “respondeat superior.”  The employer has insurance.  The insurance company will pay any damages (and will probably settle the case before trial--because 99.7% of civil lawsuits are settled before trial).

Most injury related lawsuits are for negligence. There’s no insurance for malicious actions.

In some states you have to name the individual employee. In others you don’t. I don’t know what the rules are in California, and I’m not privy to the thought processes of Ms. Bryant’s counsel. The legal system is full of screwed up doctrines that make little sense today (like the fact that in many states, kids cannot…

Funny story. A guy was hurt in a helicopter crash and sued the manufacturer. He got a lot of money from their insurance company. The helicopter manufacturer changed the way it makes helicopters to make them safer.

There’s a corporate entity that may be a bad actor. There’s a family (admittedly very wealthy) that probably has some economic and non-economic losses. There’s an insurance policy that covers the pilot that will pay out compensation.

The pilot is likely an additional insured under the employer’s policy, and may be a necessary party to the lawsuit.

Except that the pilot may be the primarily liable party in this action, and therefore, the claim may have to name him....

.

California is not a direct action state. That means you don’t file the lawsuit directly against the insurance company. You sue the individual (and often the individual’s employer under a theory of vicarious liability). Then, the insurance company pays the cost of defense and any judgment that’s entered.

In many states, you have to sue the employee as the individual who was negligent. Then, you allege that the employer was liable under a theory of respondeat superior. The reason for the rule is that, technically, a corporation is an operating agreement with a balance sheet. It cannot fly a helicopter.

And your goal is to get all your cards to your graveyard (discard pile)?

Except maybe Solitaire.
