With all this attention on the Owl Sector and the virus that is currently spreading among our Guardians, I feel there is something even more important needs to be addressed. It's something that every single Guardian has ignored until now. Up until this point, every player has believed that this was a straight forward game: you shoot, you loot, and you toot your Sparrow horn in victory. We were all horribly mistaken. The Destiny universe is not one-sided. We Guardians are not allowed to do whatever we want, whenever we want, without consequences.
The first indicator was a Grimoire card--something easily overlooked. In the Cabal 4 Ghost Fragment, the transcript states "Guardians foraging for equipment, dancing, and performing acrobatics with light vehicles". Meaning, the statement describes how we search for loot, dance when we want, and perform tricks on our Sparrows. The Cabal were watching us and actively [i]reported our behavior as players[/i]. Might I remind you that the Grimoire, as of now, are the main source of lore for Destiny. This means that the behavior we show in-game has [i]permanently affected the lore of the game[/i].
As I've suggested, this isn't the only indicator either. In the new website that is tracking the spread of the virus that is currently affecting Guardians, under the "Brilliance 3.2" tab of records, section "OS-I6", one of the persons talking say "They're Guardians, Quist. Means the Light has cooked their brains. Haven't you seen them dancing in the Plaza, for no reason, with no music at all?" Again, our behaviors, such as randomly dancing in the Tower, have affected the lore of the game but this time [i]our actions were judged[/i] by a character. Negatively, at that. In fact, it could be surmised that our behavior directly affected the handling of the outbreak.
If our actions, as seemingly harmless as they seem, have a direct effect on the world that we are apart of, should we not be more mindful of them? Who's to say that the effects will stop there? What if using items such as Red Death, Thorn, or either of the Ahamkara armor pieces (all of which are heavily scorned by the Vanguard) bring about negative changes to the Tower, such as alienation, increased prices at vendors, less rewards from activities, or even new enemies to be brought upon the Light?
What I'm trying to warn everyone about is this: our actions have consequences. Not only that, but these are [i]permanent effects[/i]. They are chiseled into the lore of the Destiny universe. We must be mindful of our actions from here onward. Even small things such as the items we use or actions we make may have enormous influence on the future of Destiny. I encourage everyone to read up on the Grimoire, learn the story of Destiny, and behave accordingly. This is no longer a game. This is [i]our[/i] game.

Space zombies do not think about consequences. They just charge into battle and kill everything.

2 AntwortenIt started in the dust palace, right? Currently occupied by the Cabal and the resting place of a warmind. DeeJ hinted on Twitter that the map shows the virus' growth in the geometric shapes of the mysterious AIs we've protected and the grimoire mentions the Cabal searching for a means to sever our connection with our ghosts. Could these viruses be synthesized by the cabal through the warmind on Mars as an attempt the do just that, while being masked by positive initial symptoms to promote transmission? Or am I just spouting guff 'cuz I'm bored?
-
Nah. I'll dance how I want, when I want. It's just a game. Have some fun. Do some tricks on your sparrow. Everyone is taking this transmission stuff so seriously... When I'm sure Bungie intended it as some fun for us and a little background for the Siva infection.

3 AntwortenI find it very cool that Bungie takes into account how players act in the game and make it part of the story. I find it kind of weird, though, that in the owl sector logs, Ikora seems to disapprove of contact with the viruses. As a warlock, she should be dying to learn what they do and how they work, and she should be experimenting with them herself. Maybe she knows something that we don't?

2 AntwortenI read the title and was like, oh cool, some kind of Stalker character for Destiny. Hell yeah! [spoiler]If you play Warframe, you know what I'm talking about.[/spoiler]
-
