Destiny Story Decoded - At Multiple angles.

Hello spawns of the Bungie forums! Now if there's one thing I enjoy is understanding components of a tale. In Destiny, Bungie's got this subtle approach to setting the stage, unlike a fair amount of storytelling today which is generally about: "HEY LOOK! HERE'S THE STORY! LOOK!" I've seen other's compare Destiny's story telling to Dark Souls, however in DS the game is told mostly by mood, atmosphere, and game design philosophy. In Destiny there's a few thing's I've noticed about the story overall that are indeed held back, however things are presented in a more 'lost' like manner. As in questions are answered with more questions. Beware spoilers [spoiler] Now the Exo stranger says 'she' wasn't forged in light and that we must take sides even though it may not be the right one. What I believe this means is that, the Exo Stranger was, for some reason brought back from the darkness itself. Perhaps the Darkness isn't bad but maybe another type of traveler. Think about it. Using game of thrones as an example, there technically isn't a evil individual (some characters are indeed questionable...). Therefore to me this means, perhaps in the future we can choose 'dark' powers as another class tree. Now this doesn't mean we'll be switching sides but rather using fire to fight fire. We still don't know who the Exo Stranger was even speaking with so, this leads to a fair amount of speculation. Thinking about 'Specters' or dark ghosts is an interesting twist. Another theory is that the Exo stranger is the traveler itself (or larger, stronger representation of such) - and if the traveler itself wasn't forged in light then... awkward [/spoiler] I'll be updating this continually so hold tight !
