Should Destiny 2 add playable Fallen
[u]Introduction[/u]
So I've come back to destiny (destiny 2) now that it is free to play. It always bothered me that you can't really play as anything other than a human or a human but X. I always was hoping that fallen would be added in future maybe as a dlc as the story was gradually building up to the idea with characters Variks the loyal, and Mithrax who has now re-founded House light which very strongly suggests guardian elisksni
[u]Why?[/u]
I think that adding playable fallen would improve destiny 2 and\or future games because it will increase the variation in appearance between players, allow for more interesting player characters and could have some interesting additions to the lore however I will admit that it could be said that is unnecessary waste of time and effort that could be used elsewhere. I think it would be a good addition to destiny in a similar way to when Bungie of old added playable elites to halo which was,in my opinion, beneficial to the halo series, in fact there are many similarities to said addition of playable elites in halo 2 (another second game in a Bungie series).
[u]Issues and suggestions on how to fix them[/u]
The main problem with this would be that it would take a lot of effort to implement but I have a way around this: how about implementing playable fallen in stages, when this is first released it could be very simple to the point where player guardians are just slightly modified versions of the enemy fallen so that bungie can cut down on dev time but reusing animations and models and when it is first released fallen might only have one Armour appearance at first. After awhile it could be refined to be more feature complete by adding more armor variations and fixing bugs and issues. I think that all it would need at launch would be:
-Male\female option
-ability to use shaders
If you have would like to talk about the idea of playable fallen feel free to do so in the comments below and I will try and respond if possible.
Edit: re-found this post and will attempt to keep it more consistently updated

I Fully agree with you. Sure, less stuff at first. but I'd LOVE to play as one of them. and I'm getting the impression I'm not the only person too

I've always wanted to be a fallen since Destiny 1. And I heavily wish we could play as them. Hell I wouldnt even care if Fallen could be gaurdians or not. They could make sub-classes for the Fallen race specifically. No Titan, no Warlock and no Hunter. They could have classes like Scribe or Splicer instead. And then people mention armors. I once more wouldnt really care if Fallen had a very small amount of armor sets they could aquire in the beginning. I dunno. To not write an essay sized comment on why I agree to this post. I'll shorten it down to; Halo had playable Elites. It was loved. And the second they stopped putting playable Elites people got pissed. Give us Playable Fallen cuz they're awesome and it could make sense nowadays with the lore of us getting more friendly Eliksni and all that. I'd love to play as one.
