In lightfall reveal bungie mentions that the cloudstriders have been dealing with a vex problem. Will this be like beyond light where the vex have 0 story significance and are just there to be there.

3 RepliesThere are two problems with the vex: - 1: A lot of their STORY comes from old content. Content that suffers from really bad writing (Vanilla D1, Curse of Osiris) - 2: Since it is so unknowable there is no villain or important character to follow or become invested in. All the Vex-focused characters have either been put aside for now (Asher, Osiris) or have moved to different focus (Mithrax, Exo Stranger) In the next few seasons Bungie needs to set up a compelling Vex-linked character in the story. Either bring back a heavily corrupted Asher or introduce us to something new. Osiris just info-dumping empty platitudes won’t cut it any more. My thought is to make another/new vex mind that finally simulates guardians. Have it be humanoid and actually communicate with us in a pseudo-antagonistic role (Bungie did a good job with Cortana in the old Halos… maybe something like that.) - Heavily corrupted guardian returns - We air lift Clovis Bray’s giant exo head into the helm… - Cortana-like vex mind I still predict that Final Shape could be heavily Vex themed if not Taken or a new Darkness race.
