[quote]I'm guessing you're talking about the stranger telling you to go to Venus. the reasoning is given by ghost as you fly to the strangers call mission. [/quote]That doesn't help, though. Why would I be finding that out after I'm already on my way there? If I only find out why I should go somewhere after I'm already going there, then why would I have started to go there in the first place? [quote]someone contacted you from jungles on venus while you were on the surface of the moon, telling you to come find them after demonstrating your strength against the hive. warrants investigating, thank god we have a spaceship. [/quote]Also, so some random lady tells us to go somewhere... so we should travel across the solar system and abandon the immediate threat on Earth and the moon just because she has a nice radio? There's really no 'why' to our actions there. [quote]second question is answered in the game's earliest cutscenes. the traveler is trusted because it's the foundation of the guardian's powers and the reason humanity could grow across the system during the golden age, living longer and flying further. [/quote] Yes, but at what point does our character discover this? At what point does this knowledge start to inform his/her decision making process? It never comes up. The player just... does what they're told. There's no sense of reasoning behind it, we just 'do.' [quote]it also returned you from the dead, so that was pretty cool of him. [/quote]And I'd be very grateful, but why should that make me a mindless slave obeying other people that like the floating orb in the sky, you see what I'm saying? [quote] and he wants you to stop asking questions and go help.[/quote]Haha well that's not a very good answer to why we should do something, neh? :P
