What is the Darkness? Who is the The Stranger? Who was the The Stranger talking to? What is the year in game? WTF is Xur? Why are all the best weapons darkness related and not light related? If there has to be a King of the Hive, then who is King now? Who made the Vex? Why do the Vex turn planets into machines? Why does Osiris dislike the Speaker? What are the stories The Speaker could tell me? Why aren't guardians allowed into the city? If the Traveler creates life, where is the rest of the fauna in Destiny besides the dragons flying around? What is inside The Traveler? Why does my guardian never ask questions? How did humanity have time to build massive walls around their cities and to what end when space ships can just fire from low orbit? Who built The Traveler? What is the machine in the Speakers room?

  • 16. The Traveler still protects the City. 17. The Architects (that means Bungie). 18. Possibly a giant x-ray for the Traveler

  • 16. We don't really know it's protecting the city, we know its stuck over it. 17. Who are the Architects (in game) 18. Believable

  • 16. Ghost says that the City is the "last place the Traveler can still protect," 17. I'm not sure if they exist in-game canonically, or if they were just a clever way of Bungie saying, "You died because that's how we made the game," 18. Yup

  • Ghost says a lot of stuff that doesn't make sense. For example, he talks about the Vex like he knows stuff and then 2 scenes later is all, "what are these things". like he forgot everything he just said for 2 missions. I remember laughing my ass off with my friends when we hit that part of the story. At that moment we knew what we were in for with Destiny.

  • 11. Many. 12. They are, I think, it's just that Guardians don't [i]need[/i] to. That's the central point of the Speaker's philosophy. 13. Probably hiding from the scary sounds of shooting or extinct. 14. According to a Ghost, the Traveler is similar to a giant Dyson sphere, but then it acknowledges that it doesn't know. 15. Because the Speaker doesn't like too many questions.

  • 11. So, no one knows. He could be liar. Why don't we go down into the city and ask people? 12. When a leader says you don't need to do something that exposes you to information, you know you need too. 13. Crows must be fearless. Yes I know the Odin reference to them it's just I expect to see more than Crows everywhere. 14. Contradicting plot by bad writing, can't be trusted either way. 15. Doesn't answer the question... wait... YOU'RE THE SPEAKER!

  • 11. Because we don't [i]need[/i] to go to the City 12. That's why Osiris and the Speaker butted heads. 13. Good point. 14. I kinda worded that wrong. Ghosts don't know what the Traveler is, but this one Ghost theorized. It then acknowledged, "Eh, I might be wrong," 15. Guardians don't ask because no one would answer.

  • 6. The Darkness is extremely powerful. Why do you think the Traveler is running? 7. One of Oryx's sisters perhaps will take up the crown, or perhaps the mysterious Nokris. 8. Not sure. 9. They wish to write themselves into reality and transform existence itself into something they can control. 10. Osiris was exiled by the Speaker for "asking the wrong questions".

  • 6. Power doesn't mean evil or bad. 7. Believable/acceptable 8. Believable/acceptable 9. Believable/acceptable Why do they feel the need to control it? Is it their programming or are they sentient? 10. Believable/acceptable What questions are wrong?

  • 6. I never said it did. 7. Yeah, that's most theories 8. Yeah, that's most theories 9. Their Axis Minds are sentient (to an extent), but individual Vex units are not. Their true motive remains hidden, but this is what they seem to be doing now. 10. Chasing after Xûr, Ahamkara-lore, the VoG. What is the Darkness, why are we fighting, is a Guardian's personality 100% theirs, etc.

  • 1. An ancient intelligence (it seems) that believes the only true existence is that of ruthlessness. 2. A mysterious Exo that fights against the Darkness, but not necessarily with the Traveler. 3. Possibly our future selves. 4. Somewhere in the future. The Golden Age presumably lasted for centuries, and human lifespan tripled. The Collapse and the Dark Age were also quite long. It's up to interpretation. 5. A Jovian

  • 1. Evil for the sake of evil does not a good antagonist make. All good villains believe what they are doing is in some way good or the right thing. 2. So we don't know anything about her, but we took her gun, and she was in the tower, she's our friend because reasons? 3. So we have no idea 4. So we have no idea 5. Thank you.

  • 1. The Darkness isn't evil; we're the ones who slapped a label on It. It's doing what It believes to be right. 2. She wants to end the Darkness as much as any Guardian does. 3. Pretty much 4. Pretty much 5. You're welcome

    Pretty sure I read that the traveler is like a super compressed pocket universe or something. And are guardians not allowed in the city? I just figured we had no reason to go down there :/
