Related but unrelated... This isn't the first time I've thought about this buff. Power is so enticing, yah know? I looked at the ranks... I'm higher on Ambition. I wasn't even really thinking about it. I'm choosing Resolve. I am foregoing the easy dmg buff to make sure I end the episode with a higher resolve rank. I don't know why 👀, I just feel like it's the right choice. 😇👍💠 Edit: to extrapolate on this "conspiracy" further.... It seems intentional. The scale of the buff makes Ambition, beyond the seasonal reqs, the clear winner. Seems like bait to me. Seems like Bungie is doing something sneaky with a possible 4th wall break. If I only saw my gaming avatar as a tool... a "pawn" perhaps, then I'm choosing Ambition all day every day. But I don't 😇. Call it sappy, but I don't. Arecibo is one of my favorite missions in Destiny. It concludes with a warning, [i]"Beware of those that grant ultimate power but ask for nothing in return".[/i] Why do we lose our memories? As such... I can't accept "Blistering Dominance" without an explanation. IF, let's say... a prominent character justified their actions for the sake of Ambition, how are we any different? 100% dmg buff? I'll take THAT! 😂 No questions asked. Nope. I'm questioning it. I don't need it. I'm choosing Resolve. Also, as a teaser... I don't know how soon this will be relevant; Exos don't need to be reset/wiped. That was a Clovis protocol, a method of control... it's why Cayde had nightmares about it. Seem like... Using memories, manipulating and deleting "memory" is a core theme of this narrative. Egg Men Child Soldiers Indoctrination This is what I'm talking about. Who we are... have been. We're the bad guys... the pawns of smarter bad guys oblivious in our ignorance. Because... We have no memories. Not yet at least. Arecibo was a mission on Io. That's where the conduit is... the battery of souls, the Tree of Silver Wings was first planted there. Connecting to the "mother stream" was forbidden in Awoken law... their commandments. Note: I was helping a buddy unlock Strand in Lightfall... at the time Osiris seemed uncharacteristically opaque in his appraisals... when I first did it. Osiris chose ambition. It's why he was exiled from the Vanguard. He thought he knew better than everyone else combined. He linked up with Mara Sov and Osiris planted the tree on Io. His VO in Lightfall is clearer than I thought. He and Mara Sov are trying to connect with the "mother stream". For Power... for Ambition.
