Most of my curiosity revolves around the vex, just cuz their space/time tricks make some interesting stories. The rest of my curiosity is for the fallen, just cuz they're so freaking cool with their insatiable sense of honor. (Ref: Cayde's gf that he had to kill... Just cuz they fought together to survive didn't mean she was supposed to let him live, or him let her live. So out of consideration for his valor, she made his choice easy by letting him kill her. How baddas can you get??) If I had any curiosity left over I'd give it to the hive, but I don't really care about their wanna-be goth attitude. Vex and fallen are my favorite. Despite all that though, I'm gonna ask you a series of cabal questions. Just cuz they're not getting enough attention in this thread or really anywhere. I mean c'mon!! Think about it... From what I know, the cabal we are fighting are a small renegade group, split from the rest of their kind right? So... Why did they leave? What are they trying to accomplish? If they're looking for something or someone, or trying to establish a 'base' of some type, why are they so determined to not pass further than mars in our solar system? What's the awoken's relation to them right now? Hostile? A very common philosophy of war states to not get killed. Any strategist can verify that. So why are the cabal so idiotically throwing themselves into a losing fight (proof: they're making ground (abandoned bunkers) they're losing troops (sand giant quota to dust eaters is far off from where an army's veterans numbers should be) and they're armor/weapons are poorly maintained (no solider in any 'uptight' army would ever allow that many nicks and dings on his equipment without asking for a replacement. Since there's yet to be a replacement, I'm guessing it's either cuz the cabal command has given up on the soldiers (a sign of defeat) or given up on the mission/s (a very sure sign if defeat))) on so many fronts? I can see them being able to beat the vex or the fallen or us, but all of us all at once?? Why take on so much... Why don't they ally with us to beat our common foes? Why are they aligned with the darkness, why don't they just be like "hey Bob! Let's stop fighting these humans! I bet they wanna be our friends." [spoiler]If you can power your way through all of that, and answer every single question, you will be named lore journey-man. [/spoiler]
