Why are vendors not wearing helmets on different destinations
Do we just assume all the destinations in the game have an atmosphere filled with 78% Nitrogen and 21% Oxygen (and 1% Argon)? When I visit Sloan, is her Human biology just cool with inhaling pure methane 24/7? I get that she’s a guardian but don’t she need to breathe air too? Hell even in the Tangled Shore which is just Rocks floating in mid space, how is Petra able to breathe in a vacuum? Let alone not die.
I could go on about the gravity of each destination as well. Is there Lore implications of why this is? Or is just lazy game design? Because being able to breathe on the moon like Eris because of Hive magic is one thing. But being on Titan were the oceans are literally generating lighting in the water doesn’t make any sense on how you can breathe the air just fine.

Well you know the traveler terraforms plants to make it suitable for human life?

2 RepliesLast time I asked myself this question, I did a bit of research. The answer is literally in front of us. We're Guardian's. Not mortals. We were dead. We ARE dead. Thus is why the Fallen call us "Dead Little Thieves" We don't need O2 to breathe. We just need our Ghost to keep us in the battle. We came down as a squad of nine, got picked off one by one. Watched a Wizard rip the light out of my best friend and then funnel it into some kind of crystal...

Some destinations were terraformed. You can only assume the atmosphere was a part of that. Also some people made a good point. I’m not sure guardians need to breathe
-
For Sloane, a pilot of a ship heading to earth called her out on it and she replied with "I moisturize" no idea what that means, maybe she have some transparent protection of something, like cytomachines.
-
Wow....now I got to think about this. Maybe there is a shot almost like a vaccine that allows their lungs to act like a filter? I dont know. Maybe if Eris can use hive magic to help her breath,then maybe guardians can use light to help them breath? IDK.
-
I’d wear mine if I could redo my characters head. Even then not sure I could come up with something better? Meanwhile I’d rather look at the helmet 🤷♀️

The tangled shore’s gravity has always bugged me a bit. I really wish gravity was different on different planets, it would’ve made the destinations literally [i]feel[/i] different and therefore functions differently and will make each place unique. I think this is one of the biggest missed opportunities for sci-fi games.

11 Replies<Mars, Mercury, Venus, and Io were at least partially terraformed by the Traveler itself. The Tangled Shore was affected by the Traveler's awakening. Titan was terraformed by humanity during the Golden Age and Nessus was terraformed by the Vex to allow life to exist. Though something to consider is the possibility of a Guardian's Light being able to shield themselves from death by lack of atmosphere. Osiris used his Light to keep himself aloft in the endless void seen in the neo-Simulant Future, the ability described as having "sheathed him in a thin veneer of armor". However, if this is not the case, then Ikora should be dead. Despite the Pyramids' ability to terraform, the Moon has not been subject to such a change by either force or the human colonists that followed.>

Do Guardians need to breath?
-
Its possible their ghosts are constantly transmitting O2 into their lungs.
-
We’re guardians not mortals.
-
If you're not livin on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

2 RepliesThatOneWarlock you make some valid points and I agree that ever verse should be removed from this game. But Whether we wanted it or not, we’ve stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let’s get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta’aurc. From what I can gather he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold.
-
The awoken I’m pretty sure can breathe even if there’s no oxygen. Probably. They are space dwellers after all. And the traveler terraformed every planet, so places like mercury became garden worlds, and places like Titan got atmospheres.
-
2 RepliesWell there's no specific given reason, but the general consensus is that during the Golden age humanity and the traveler terraformed each planet and moon to at the very least be able to breathe This doesn't explain the tangled shore though
-
You do know the traveler terraformed every planet and every large moon to have a breathable atmosphere for humans...
-
Because space magic. But I have questioned this myself. Particularly Eris on the Moon. I know she's basically a wizard, but still. Refer to my initial sentence. Space magic. Don't need to explain anything if you can shut it all down with space magic.
-
Because they don't need to hide the shame of someone being plastered when making their face.
-
Traveler terraformed the planets and their air smells like crispy bacon. Who wouldnt wanna bask in that?
-
Because Bungie covered all the corners with foam and duct tape
-
Only player controlled guardians are too afraid to fight without a helmet.
-
I actually like my characters face and wish I could go into combat with my helmet off and hood up like cayde did...

2 RepliesI was thinking the same thing, except for cranial protection in a war zone. I've seen enemies run up on the vendors before. https://gameclips.io/AlteraLateralus/f94c17d9-dd91-43cb-bfb1-9ff22c524593 Also, the gravity of the Tangled Shore never made sense. If we fall off of a tiny asteroid, which somehow has the same gravity as Earth, we fall straight down into space. There is nothing in space underneath the asteroid belt, so nothing should be producing gravity to make us fall down. Into empty space.

2 RepliesIt's almost as if it's just a video game and not a space simulator. 🤔 I mean when the wife and I take our annual summer holiday to Nessus, we don't see any of the vegetation in the game, nor the vex robots that wander freely. It is annoying though when I pop to the shops and a warlock drives past and nova bombs the shop before I get to it. I hate that.
-
Probably the same reason a warlock can throw a dying star. It's a video game👍

The only non-guardians NPC are Eris (who is a guardian just without a ghost) Failsafe (whos a ship AI) and Demdrim (who’s just a normal dude) Theoretically speaking the ghosts likely have a copy of your existence in some data-esk form to recreate our bodies even after complete disintegration. Meaning when they respawn us, they probably aren’t giving us a normal human body (as a human body wouldn’t be able to deal with the immense energy from guardian powers) but instead a physical-data based body.
