Destiny Story Theory: We are the Darkness

This is in no way my theory, but I found it interesting. Many gamers and critics have comment that Destiny's story is, well - average. Regardless where you stand on this, someone on Reddit posted an interesting (mind you a bit of a stretch) which may make the story more interesting. Here's the theory. [quote]I was patrolling around the moon yesterday and was silently stalking Fallen Dregs trying to listen to alien banter. I moved too close and startled one of them, who turned around and gurgled in broken english (kind of how the Grunts in Halo did) "It's the Darkness!" before firing away at me... Wait. Are. We. The. Darkness? The more I think about it, the more it makes sense... WHY ELSE would aliens be relentlessly fighting us without much justification? Although I can't explain why the alien factions would be fighting each other. Maybe the Traveler is a weapon and we simply don't know it because we're under its spell? And the alien factions don't trust each other with the Traveler's power? Damn... This is why I love the open ended narrative Bungie creates, it eventually gets sifted down and sharpened over years of questions and added content to the worlds.[/quote] What do you guys think? Possible?

  • One problem with that theory: the Hive. They're described as being worshippers of the Darkness to the point where they're on a crusade to destroy the Light. If we truly were the Darkness, wouldn't logic dictate they would fight on our side?

    • I've been trying to understand everything, the word is that the darkness didn't appear until after the traveller came to earth. And this theory that you've told fits that portion. Did it arrive at earth crippled? Why isnt anyone trying to fix it? And on some story missions you have to complete activities to protect the black garden, but in the end you have to destroy it. I also dont understand why each faction of enemies' are drastically different by physical looks. At least the "Covanent" had a back story that made sense. Are the hive and fallen genetically mutating their army personal? And wtf was the raging battle that happened years ago? Wtf is everyones goal in this war? Humanity should just destroy the traveller, after all that is what every enemy faction is trying to kill.
