Siva is one of if not THE community favourite creation and aesthetic in the destiny.
Your refusal to bring it back when so many people want it, just baffling. Just adding some siva Ornaments for exotics isnt enough.
It has almost unlimited potential to create cool origin traits, armour bonuses and weapon perks.

I'll give you this for free.
Siva + vex is the way to go. You literally teased that in year 1 of destiny 2.
Just have Maya reactivate siva. Siva takes over a vex mind with a leftover Rasputin order. Then you have a new faction of enemies to use within the story.

Right. Have a fragment of Rasputin that has survived within some Warmind Bunker regain access to Siva due to Mayas meddling, and then have that Siva infect one of the free Vex Units under Mayas command, where upon it resists the Echo of Command by contacting simulated Warminds within the Vex Network, creating a new Rasputin. Make it so this Rasputin is of course distinct from the previous, and has the same working relationship with us that House Salvation had back in Revenant. A good way to make this Rasputin completely separate from the previous is have it be free from its original code thanks to its exposer to the Echo Of Command and Coral Vex. So this Rasputin would be completely selfish (which Rasputin has showcased in the past, but not to an extreme extreme degree) or something. Hell, you could just make the Red Legion use Siva, like they scavenged the Tech from the Replication Chamber and recreated it. This could then be used against Neomuna, as both Shadow Legion and Red Legion have shown to be susceptible to the Echo of Command.
