I remember my husband and I having this conversation many times, because he mains an Exo Warlock. He thinks that because they resemble humans so much, and[i] if[/i] they were once human, perhaps they've retained some human habits like eating and drinking, especially in Cayde's case. I don't think it's necessary for an Exo to eat or drink, but not impossible. Where does it go? I think the food and drink is converted into energy, like a human. Or... something. Interesting thoughts, though. Maybe it goes right through them, and is stored. I'm sure they have sensory, since they are able to hear. Who is to say they cannot taste? It may not be necessary, but I remember reading somewhere that the Traveler gave the Exos these qualities after they were built. I'll find it so I can cite my sources, unless someone else can find it for me, lol.
On that note, can Guardians reproduce? Serious question. I feel like they can't for the simple fact that they're basically, sorta kinda, immortal. They have no need to replace themselves by having children. Would other Guardians, aside from Exo Guardians, have the need to eat and drink as well? I feel like they gain any and all sustenance by their Light alone, since it keeps them alive. I feel like basic human needs, like eating and having children are gone for a Guardian, since it might get in the way of their duties. That doesn't mean that they couldn't do these things out of pleasure. Thoughts?

https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/227763711/0/0 Exos have all 5 senses that organic guardians have. And one extra: exos can taste velocity (speed).

Another question is how do exos reproduce. There are more of them and they reside in the city just like the awoken.
-
I think it's highly unlikely Exos could reproduce. You don't see Exo children, though. I think they're built to resemble human adults, and gifted sentience by the Traveler. You do, however, see children Awoken and humans from the trailer, if I recall correctly.

Good stuff!

Assuming all internal organs are reactivated when the Light resurrects them, Guardians can reproduce. It's unknown if it can be genetic though... maybe having a child with a Taken Wizard will have powers of the Deep.

I can see the fanfiction... if it doesn't exist already. XD

I simultaneously needed and regret having that mental image. I'll take just the Wizard.

Well, Cayde said we were made for each other... so just make one full of Darkness and one full of Light.
