If the Savathun expansion is called the Taken Queen, I'll print out the Books of Sorrow and eat them. (Poll: Should Savathun be called the Taken Queen?)

Yes

No

Bet. You can hold me to this. Now, if that title made you click on the post, maybe you'll hear me out on why I think it shouldn't be called the Taken Queen. First, it's lazy and really awful. We already had a Taken King, let Savathun have her own identity. Second, there are better titles for her. The word Queen is stale. Lame. Give us something cool! Third, we already have a Queen, the Queen of the Reef. If they put 2 characters who have the title of Queen into the game, referring to their interaction will be a little annoying to do shorthand. Fourth, finally (and a bit more seriously,) I don't think she would choose to be Queen if the spot was open, simply by her nature. She wants to backstab, cheat, and swindle. She's treacherous. The spot of a leader required to make decisions would probably better suited to Xivu Arath. Despite her desire to be on the frontlines in combat as a Knight, someone confrontational and confident is probably a better choice to lead the Hive than a character who wants to lurk in the shadows and strike opportunistically. I really don't think she'd make for an interesting leader character. It just doesn't fit her nature. Now, none of this is to say you can't refer to the Fall Expansion as Taken Queen for shorthand. Tl;Dr this is a post about why I hope Bungie don't call it that. Edit: I know that she isn't called the Taken Queen, I'm saying that I see the name tossed around a lot and I don't want Bungie to think that's a good name. Note: Edited the title to "Savathun expansion" instead of "fall expansion" to better reflect my thoughts.

      • I think the taken queen is just the community’s placeholder name for the big expansion since it is hinted at being savathun and in destiny it was the taken king.

        • If you ask me, I think savathun will try to 'TAKE' charlamange to use sivaInteresting twist in my opinion. Or she will trey to 'TAKE' S.I.V.A. it will create a soul corrupting, body eating, wrath army.

          • Taking was Oryx's gimic. She has obviously aquired the power to take since Oryx's death in Kings Fall but it shouldn't be her defining feature. She is cunning and treacherous and would have so much other more interesting Hive magic at her disposal it would be extremely lazy on Bungie's part to just make her main power and defining feature ingame the ability to take.

              You gotta wait till year 3. Also Oryx was a female so he took that cake already.

              • Destiny 2: The Hive Awaken. You could read into that a lot. Does Mara return? Her brother? Or did I just make that up to sell pre-orders and it has nothing to do with the awoken. Either that or Destiny 2: The Wizards From the Moon."😜 Ok, I admit I will leave the sequel titles to someone else. In all seriousness the DLC will likely continue the Mara & Eris versus the Hive story line. I hope we go back to the dreadnaught, but a complete different area. Remember the dreadnaught is huge. Sure they could recycle some of the PVP maps, but let's focus on new content. I also hope we get to go back to the moon, but also different areas.

              • <Please note that the 2018 Fall Expansion is NOT going to be about the Hive. It's going to be about the Awoken and the Fallen by extension. Savathun and the Taken will be 2019's fall or whatever DLC. That being said, Savathun should probably just be called her original title, Witch Queen. Taken Queen would be... meh. I have a few ideas for the name of Savathun's expansion (that sounds weird) Taken Resurgence Taken Uprising Savathun's Arrival Savathun's Vengeance Taken Civil War Sorceress of the Hive The Dark Beyond (callback) Sword Logic's Pinnacle (another callback if you read D1 flavor text) The 2nd Taken War The Hive Pantheon Osmium Queen Osmium Matriarch Dark Communion>

                • She’s not “Taken” though right? Does she have the power to take? I’m actually looking forward to a creepy game ha! Some of Titan is done SO well with that vibe. Hive are creepier than Taken for me.

                        • It would be funny to see you eat the book of sorrows, but I agree it’s a lazy name. This is the dlc I’m most interested. To me Destiny was at its best when the Hive were the central antagonists. It was creepy and dark and had monsters and just oozed with death references and morbid shit. Love it. So hopefully the DLC will be good and Eris comes back it’s dark and creepy, and the raid is about beating bosses not some American Ninja Warrior Cabal Edition raid.
