Humanity was too busy creating Exo Boobs and sticking together in 3 person fireteams. Then we got jumped from behind by that smokey black mist from Lost and it reset all of our Exotic and Legendary gear and weapons into Rares and Uncommons. Yes, there was a time when Guardians were kitted out in full Exotic gear (that's why they called it the 'golden' age) but alas that time came to an end and we became just another uncommon race. [u]On a more serious note: [/u]What makes you think that the Darkness isn't just like the Traveller? - granting longer life, respawning fallen warriors of all races, granting incredible advances in technology (for all we know the Fallen used to use sticks and rocks before the Darkness came to them). We're all stuck in a kind of endless war (live, die, repeat anyone?) where we get revived and get better gear but so do our enemies. I've lost track of how many times I've killed Aksor, Sepiks Prime, Phogoth and friends at varying levels of hardness. That galaxy wide apocalypse that apparently wiped our golden age off the face of the Universe's finely chiselled butt cheeks? What if that's exactly what happened to all the other races out there and somebody pointed the finger at humanity and the Traveller as the culprits just as we pointed the finger at the Darkness and it's minions? What if what we call the Darkness, they (our enemies) might call the Traveller and in turn think of our Traveller as the Darkness? The Traveller and the Darkness may be two halves of the same whole forever entwined in a perpetual struggle which neither can win for it would throw the very fibres of space and time out of whack. And Humanity has gotten caught up in this struggle whether we wanted to or not. So true of our so called enemies, The Fallen, those undead Hivers, big boned Cabal and of course our time travelling cousins The Vex. The course of history and fate for all of these races has been purposefully deviated by the Traveller and the Darkness. No one ever had a choice. Except that now Humanity seems to be questioning the Traveller (Dead Orbit), seeking to follow our own path once again (New Monarchy) and desiring an end to the war by crushing our enemies once and for all (Future War Cult). Our so called enemies might also be raising similar questions. And then there was, is, and probably always existed The Exo Stranger. The one seeking not balance but a reordering of events. She is neither for nor against the Traveller or the Darkness. She is the eternal arbiter (as well as Cayde-6's new pinup girl). Why is it she takes an interest in you Guardian? Sure you're good looking and she may even swing that way, you never know. She gave you a cool-ass gun (the super soaker of the year 5056) so maybe you got a shot at seeing what's under that cape. But she may not be seeking you out for the reasons you may think (and get those other reasons out of your head! Yes, [i]those[/i] reasons). You, Guardian, have the power to change events. You are the unexpected addition to the equation capable of tipping the balance one way or another. You are the unpredictable element and she will keep a very close eye on you. She knows of events that were, that are and that will come to pass. But she does not know where you fit in for you are the enigma that she seeks to reorder in order to maintain the status quo. Neither friend nor foe to you she is just as much an enigma as you are to her and you should keep as close an eye on her as she is keeping on you. Too much of a mind-blam-? Posts your comments below.

  • I looooooove the way you think. Let's hope Bungie does, too. Then Destiny still can become, what it is already in our minds: ... mind blowing.

  • Kingdoms of Amalur: Rekoning It was a pretty decent Rpg (even though the company behind it got shut down) in which all the beings in the world had a "fate" that was predetermined, except the main character which is brought back from the dead and now your actions get to reshape the world around you.
