It's loops back on itself at random places?
I stopped playing about a year after Destiny 2 started so would I have a hope in hell of understanding the plot now?
It's constant progression. I don't think I said it looped back.
Depends when you jumped in. Beyond Light/Witch Queen are the big story beats.
The Witch Queen is a really good campaign (do it on legendary) but you'd need to find a "lore recap" up to Witch Queen as Savathun had been up to a lot of gooseberry fool in the run up.
They'd actually gotten really good at telling an ongoing story - the seasons in the run up to witch queen and the follow up built up a good deal of narrative momentum. (S18 today looks like it'll be a bit of swerve/pause though.)
But you can't experience it. You can still play the WQ campaign but the seasons in the run up where
Savathun secretly kidnapped and impersonated Osiris, led a race war in the Last City, then after being revealled made a deal with Mara Sov to have her worm removed in return for information and the return of Osirs is gone. You can only experience that one time.
