first of all, bungie knocked it out of the park with that quest. it took me hours, but it was amazing!
but what i want to address is THE VOICES!!
if you payed attention to the dialogue at all, you would have heard voices of some of our beloved characters that passed... and let me tell you, when that part happened i was FREAKING OUT.
apparently, you can hear different voices, because i had to go back and do the quest again with my friend. he said he heard different dialogue. when i did it, first i heard cayde. then, i heard sagira talking to osiris. [i][b]ouch my heart[/b][/i].
later in the quest, osiris explains that the cabal were doing experiments on the scorn, and the one that survived, “spoke in dead voices”.
now, at first, i thought it was the darkness itself.
in “test no: 140 - clarity control exposure”, a chapter in the bray lab records: confidential, it talks about a group who were (i’m assuming, correct me if i’m wrong) exposed to the darkness. one of them hears the voice of their mother.
THAT’S what i first thought was happening, which would have went along with my theory that the “long slow whisper” is when the darkness taunts/draws you in using familiar voices.
but as it turns out, what we were hearing was the scorn boss mimicking the voices of our dead friends.
but you know? now that i think about it, this seems to be a reoccurring theme with the darkness, or things affected by the darkness. riven used sirens of familiar voices in the last wish raid. in shadowkeep, eris was haunted by her dead fireteam. and now, this scorn boss taunts us with sagira and cayde.
idk about you, but nothing is more terrifying or sinister than using the voices of people you know to taunt you. distract you. draw you in....
i wonder, if in lightfall or whenever we deal with the pyramids again, there will be a point in time where the darkness will use these voices to disorient us. dare i say, attempt to corrupt us?
my guardian doesn’t fear many things, but that scorn boss... she fears that scorn boss. it terrifies her.

6 通の返信I dont get it. This is a video game. how can it be spooky? How can you pee your pants a little?? Like how? You're not in danger. You're not under any distress, or feel any uneasiness. You literally just use your fingers move a joy stick and push buttons. You don't even have to pay attention. This is like cyber bullying right? Just close your eyes likelolwtf Same thing here, just walk though it and melee everything. Also, the characters have no depth in this game, so any voices long since passed have no impact. An empty mission, full of empty characters. Sepiks Prime coming back tho, now that's a character with some impact right there.

2 通の返信I heard Sagira's voice then Cayde's. In Sagira's voice i heard, "Go be you Guardian...The missing variable". I don't remember what Cayde's voice said but wasn't pulled by the strings of the darkness.

4 通の返信I heard Uldren say "even paradise is a prison, when you can't leave." I think the Cabal were trying to use the scorn like how Oryx used an Ogre to speak to the darkness.

1 返信I like that it is a horror themed and suspenseful mission, which is different from their typical content and wouldn't mind more horror type content in the future. Food for thought, uldren and calus both can be heard as well.

2 通の返信So if those lines are the boss talking, what is all the gunk around the ship? It’s not hive. I don’t think scorn produce gunk like that either. Maybe I missed the part where it’s explained, but when I played gambit last night I saw that same stuff inside the derelict ship.

5 通の返信T_rarにより編集済み: 2/18/2021 3:29:28 PMCan someone explain to me, was this a cabal ship and guardian inside boarded it through the hanger? I assume one of those docked ships was his. Kinda looks like maybe it was the last one you need to climb on top of to get through that door near the roof. I noticed there was some disgusting fluid and drag marks leading from the ship to a now locked door. Whatever happenend in that room someone got snagged as soon as they landed. Very cool details Bungie. Or am I completely wrong and this giant ship was in command of that guardian?

6 通の返信Im gonna put this in spoilers just incase [spoiler]Also one dialogue Osiris had was reading a scribes work it mentioned “they are confident the crown is ready” theres only one crown i can think of thats it Calus’s possession thats the crown of sorrow and another report mentioned gahlron?

6 通の返信also, WHO WAS THAT GUARDIAN??? has anyone figured out who exactly that guardian was yet? it’s a shame we didn’t make it in time, but after maneuvering all those puzzles, there was no way in hell i would have made it in time to save him!

6 通の返信One speaks in calus’s voice so he’s ded then? The thing only spoke in voices of the dead

16 通の返信This is actually really interesting. I never knew about this before, but it makes sense. The darkness has been trying to manipulate people for a long time, like Eramis and the examples you gave. Amazing detail, lore-wise and aesthetically.
