We've all seen the detailed character design of the fallen , and I for one like its detail and would love to have a fallen character to play as in destiny. along side its fellow human,awoken,exo guardians
weve known since the awoken and fallen could work together (till house of wolves dlc) it was possible to coexist
(and before it was known they were revolting i hoped they would be a playable clan TT_TT )
there is even a fallen vendor who is loyal to the queen
4 arms, glowing eyes , detailed armor, and a cape in some cases , makes these an imposing and fearsome creature
I've recently been toying with the idea of a fallen character design to recommend and wanted feedback
trying to not make them over power or under powered
two sub class types. and unlike other characters, the light level dictates physical appearance (dreg ->vandal->captain-> kell)
[b]EDIT:[/b]
The basic concept is that as your new Fallen guardian grows in light , so do they in appearance.
so start out as a dreg and with light grow to a kell . now the height has been noted as to large or HUGE character and would be overpowered at least in terms of size and ground coverage (how fast they cover ground)
so we alter this setup possibly to dreg-> vandal-> captian as they are a relatively standard size
Now some have said that this could make the game not as fun so an alternative suggestion by those who have been following this idea
Playable vandal race , standard guardian titan/warlock/hunter
this would bring the fallen in line as just a basic playable race , i still like the idea of evolving, but on bases of picking one and making it fair many pointed out the vandal is a good base fallen character design (all the looks and basic size, i still like captains best..)
[b]possible sub classes[/b]:
1: Lance charger (arc)
unit is encased in light and charges forward at ramming speed, for a short amount of time and damages all units impacted by it
(a basic charging unit style, runs forward and bashes units in its path)
2: Song of Battle (solar or void)
unit can do three various "songs", but only one active
1- Song of War (causes all enemies to focus on the activated player, who is given extra speed(highlighted in pvp )
2- Song of Challenge ( player is cloaked in a flame shield (alternative to arc shield fallen, so not to be mistaken) shield dissipates after a length of time or to much damage ( weapons can punch through of same type)
3- Song of Life ( based on the servitors ) releases a healing aura in waves to other units in fire team that gives a health regeneration (must be close to activated player proximity) , as the further away a unit is , the less health it receives , and the health waves are pulses that happen every 10 seconds
[b]Shaders concept:[/b] much like how shaders change armor, how about it also changes the glowing colors on the fallen, like eye, or basic armor lights (seen on vandals and captains on inspection)
I hope you enjoyed this concept , and have input or alterations to add to it
[b]Developing the concept [/b]
Now weve had a lot of input on this heres another thought on the playable fallen design I think is a very fair idea
Take a vandal base
[spoiler]http://www.primagames.com/media//files/eguide_assets/destiny-eguide/200-227_Codex-web-resources/image/fallen-vandal_with_shock-rifle_fmt.jpeg[/spoiler]
and add a captain styled helmet
make our fallen have only two arms, similar to a dreg, as being a disgraced or disowned fallen
this would be a nice concept for a mercenary based fallen character
thank you for your time

Nah imagine if you're a normal vandal but you've been disowned by the fallen so they ripped off your second set of arms as a sign to the other fallen that you're an outcast.
-
Would it be just the race or would it affect the storyline

I want to be a ogre It's never ogre :(

I hereby revive this post

Quad wielding weapons super. Needing to use index and middle fingers to press all 4 triggers/bumpers to shoot all four weapons.
-
Ah man, the Fallen are one of my favorite enemy races (with Vexs being in first, Cabal and Hive in third,) and maybe they will do that someday; because we already have a friendly fallen in Vestian Bay. :)
-
Why hasn't Bungie hired you yet? Lol
-
Don't get your hopes up
-
When u use your super u can use 4 guns a time but can't aim. Like the gunzerker in bo2 but 2 times deadly
-
YES. I am suspicious that they might be working on one. Look at the fingers of awoken when they bow. Thats what fallen hands do when they die. Same with some death positions
-
Bump, this needs to happen
-
Revive house judgment rally under varkis... That's what I've been thinking

I love the idea of this the fallen is my favorite race. After listening to some videos about the fallen lore they are basically like humans in king and queen times. They have a ranking of dreg, vandal, captian, and kell. They also showed they can be loyal to a queen. Until HoW sadly :'(. What I am getting at is the fallen character design idea thing is amazing. They already fit into the lore, so everyone saying it won't be lore friendly you are wrong my good sir. The fallen were like us they had a golden age then the darkness attacked. What happened with them is that they were losing on all fronts so it was lose everything, or live and take back the traveler. That's my input on it. :) -ZanX565

is we had a vandal would we have different eye color with shaders....?
-
i wonder how this would play out in house of wolves. what clan would our fallen be from ?
-
Edited by DrkMako: 5/19/2015 7:27:43 PMnow im curious what would our house be called. and who would lead us ? this may be one of the issues bungie is facing ?
-
This is a cool idea, but sadly the closest we'll probably get is armor and weapons. :(
-
Edited by Boomhauer: 5/18/2015 7:40:49 PMI followed destiny since the first teaser/reveal in 2012 and I always thought the fallen were interesting
-
I bet if this were to happen, the fallen guardians would form their own house and call it the House of Light. Their Kell would be like a Mentor to them.
-
Well the idea for the Fallen being playable is an idea I share, but evolution type leveling wouldn't be fair for other already playable races. This type of leveling would change how Destiny is and possibly the message Bungie has demonstrated (though I still hate how unbalanced PvP is and lack of in-game story). The possibility of the race is something Bungie should think about IMO. If not a Vandal fallen character, a Dreg works just as good. If the four arms concerns people, Dreg only have two arms. (This also hinders your idea with their evolution type leveling). They barely even use their current secondary arms anyways...
-
I appreciate the long post. Sorry I don't have the time to give you the in depth reply it deserves. But fallen captain skull as helmet is required
-
Put this in #destiny too
-
I'd play it bro
-
I like this idea except that races dont have any effects in game so this would be odd
