Interesting, so Maya(the exo stranger possibly?), Osiris, and Praedyth could all be working together? That sounds very interesting indeed and quite plausible if you ask me. Even before the bonus part of Paradox I was skeptical about Praedyth being dead. I instantly started thinking how do we know for a fact that is Praedyth's body? Couldn't it be a different guardian one that was almost completely erased from existence only leaving the body behind to rot but no one having memory of them? Praedyth being lost in time witnessing multiple timelines fit into what I was thinking as well. Him saying to tell them he lived could be that he witnessed a timeline where he was presumed dead but was not, he lived despite what they(us?) assumed? The whole Vex, Osiris, Stranger, Vault, Praedyth stuff I find interesting as hell. I can't wait for more confirmation to come out through the game regarding all of it and how we fit in to everything.

  • Technically, that is Praedyth's body that we find. But if we play the Daily version of Paradox, we never see that body. Instead, we cleanse the Vault completely of Taken, thus allowing Praedyth to live on in his cell

  • How do we know? There is no ghost with it, and only bones remain. It only implies it is Praedyth by saying there is a trace of light which means its a guardian. Even if the ghost scans the bones, there would not be anything forensically to compare with Praedyth for confirmation. Since everything about Praedyth other then hints on scattered pieces of gear was wiped. At least that's how I understood it that he was almost entirely wiped from existence when put in is cell. So how can we be sure that is Praedyth's body? I understand it is highly implied that it is Praedyth, but to me it seems we could be making assumptions. We assume that only three people ever entered the vault before we killed Atheon. We assume that those bones are Praedyth's. We assume that they are his because he is the only possible one it could be. I know you are most likely right but I just don't like some parts of it. Even with Schrödinger's cat whether or not we can say whether it is dead or alive does not change the actual outcome. Meaning just because we did not open the box to find out if the cat is dead does not mean the cat didn't eat the poison and vice versa. It is just dead in a box unfound, or alive in a box only to eventually die because it ran out of food or decided to eat the poison second. The cat is either dead or alive regardless of whether we know it or not meaning not finding his bones doesn't change things. He is dead or alive regardless of whether we know it or not. Much like if a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around does it still make a sound? Yes it still makes a sound, our witnessing something does not change whether or not it happened. Then again space magic and time travel means anything is possible.

  • Praedyth is stuck in a "cell". The image for Praedyth's Door is that doorway. Plus, Praedyth's transmission is coming from that room. I think it is most likely Praedyth. But like j said, if we do the right things (play it as a daily mission), he survives, and his bones were never there in the first place

  • I see what you are saying and like I said you are most likely right. This is why I really like this storyline and lore because it is very thought provoking at least to me, and anything that gets me thinking like that and sparks conversations like this whole thread is just awesome imo.
