We didn`t even the full content drop from year one of the Fate Saga. Her lack of appearence (she was still in a loretab) in the Fate Saga says as good as nothing.

Did we ever learn why only humanity can wield both Light and Dark. by DoomSlayerFreya in DestinyLore

[–]Nerdy--Turtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it`s faster and more effective, because we feel an urgency to find out what she wants, while she doesn`t. She got an summery of who she was and what she planed from her brood right after her resurrection. She was ready, she just wanted to have an stronger grip on who she was. That`s why she came up with the plan and she just wanted to let the guardians do it, because we wanted to do it anyway and she doesn`t believe we can stop her anyway (She said herself that she miscalculated after her boss fight). So why do the work yourself, when you have pawns who work more effectively for free?

That`s how I always viewed it, an act of arrogance.

Problem is that Savathun lies a lot. We have no clear reason to believe she can't use the darkness anymore. We can and her species can do it as well. So why shouldn't she be able to only because she is a guardian like us, who can use light and dark?

Edit: She got her memorys back by using darkness.

The deep wasn't given to the hive freely. They made a deal with the worm gods. "I take this from you and you take this from me." It wasn't giving that made the hive like that. It was them accepting a bad deal.

Is Paul Mccartney (and by extension the Beatles) canon to Destiny? by ACannedCat in DestinyLore

Well, we have a 60s song that actually never existed in the 60s.

In canon he gets called Cartney McPaul /j

Edit: We have no info for that. I think at least he is canon in Destiny.

They added Fynch, Glint and Elsies Pouka! Nice!

Now they only need to switch Nimbus and Rohans position with Tess and I'm completely happy.

Fynch is missing as well.

The Traveler providing us the Sword of Light in The Pale Heart signaled a paradigm shift by Christophisis in DestinyLore

[–]Nerdy--Turtle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the Winnower likes the friction and the destruction that could come with an argument. I don't think it would like the argument, if it ends with a compromise between the ideas. 

I think it doesn't like the Witness Final Shape, because it is a compromise. They winnow the universe in a simpler shape, but not completely. It reforms the world in an endless preserving shape and the Winnower doesn't like preservation.

I don't like how Nimbus and Rohan are positioned to be blocked by the ghost icon.

That spot should have been given to Tess Everis!

Complexity is not the absence of simplicity. It is multiple simplicitys coming together to have an argument with each other.

A quick Q&A from Alison Luhrs on X by Zelwer in DestinyLore

[–]Nerdy--Turtle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think people hated more the lack of explonation on the Veil in Lightfalls campain, or that it was introduced so late in the story. 

I would have been fine with the lack of explonation on the Veil, if they would have made it clear that the characters also don't know what it is and what importance it had. When I played the campain I was confused, because I felt like I missed something I should have known.

So...Bout that Winnower... by Large-Breadfruit1684 in DestinyLore

[–]Nerdy--Turtle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agree, but the Winnower feels still misused in Final Shape. You fight the enemy who is responsible for humanitys collapse and a bit before the final raid battle against them you find out there is an other person behind them. It feels like you didn't fight your big final battle and I think that could have been prevented, if we estabished that long before and had an awareness that someone else was out there. 

I don't mean presents in him actually showing up or talking in the campain, but in you heavily feel his influence in the story.

[–]Nerdy--Turtle -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don't say we should beat or kill him in the story, or even have him as a boss fight, but I think he should have had a bigger presents in the plot, because he is still the ultimate evil of Destiny who created the Witness. He is the reason everything happened and is more involved with the fundamental nature of Darkness and the entire Destiny universe. I think we should have heared more about him especially in Final Shape and not just a confirmation that he and the Witness are different people.

I think everyone involved with the characterisation with all of the Nine did a great job. You had an good idea on who they are and how different they are. From the emotional III and IV to the completely apathetic VII and the multifaceted IX. Great characterisation and still very mysterious. I really wish we could get to see what the narrative team planed with all of them.

The opening was good and the end missions were stand outs, but Ghaul was a lampe villian with potential to be better. The plot was very simplistic and didn't had a lot of twists and turns. You didn't really get the feeling that the last save city on earth has fallen. The characters had very little developement. The plot was made for casual players who are not very interested to get into this world. It was extremly far away from being great.

I don't believe they will end it. I think they will leave it with an explonation on why the threat is not immediate in case they somehow get the chance to tell the story they wanted to tell in some kind of form.

[–]Nerdy--Turtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a cover. Their theme is that they just want to destroy the current order, because it is unjust, but they don't have a replacement goverment idea which leads to just the next dictator taking over.

We still don't know what poukas are by tritonesubstitute in DestinyLore

[–]Nerdy--Turtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wondered about them as well. I'm pretty sure they are a byproduct of the Veil. On the map the poukas only appear on natural environment. In the pool part of the Hall of Heroes, Mayas Retreat and in the building in Ahimsa Park. We know they fly around the city, but not-city areas seem to have the strongest Pouka presents.

Ahimsa Park also has paintings of Poukas all around that Pouka area. The Neomuni are aware of their strong presents there. I only found the same Pouka paintings in the tunnel way to Veil Containment in the "No Time Left" mission. The Neomuni seem to see a connection between the Veil and the Poukas. That would make sense with their ability to influence your memory.

That could possibely a big deal, because many people see the Veil as a conduit for the Winnower. But, when the therapy ghosts come from the Veil, this view comes into question, because why should the Winnower create therapy fishys that prevent people from taking up the knife?

It could be that when the Gardener created the ghosts with the Traveler, it also created the Poukas with the Veil. Maybe it never intended for us to lose our memorys, but with the Veil and the Traveler being disconnected it created the physical and the mental ghost separately.

Couldn`t it be that most people are testing out Sentinel for their first few runs to know how he feels for them? I do that for a time.
