So, the mission, "The Archive" - when you have to go into the Ishtar academy to secure data and Grayliks infiltrates, leading to a fight.
You pass some skeletons when you initially enter the doors - the ones locked with the Radial A encryption, remember?
Well, years of Fallout have taught me to pay attention to the objects, particularly skeletons, that are placed in a scene, because they often tell a story. The particular story here I wasn't sure about - there are some skeletons strewn about, one looks like the decedent was sitting at the time, another couple are entwined on the floor, another lies clean, facing upward to the ceiling.
I figured they might be research crew or engineers or some such, locked in there when The Golden Age collapsed suddenly around them.
But then I noticed [i]none of them have hands or feet[/i].
That would paint a far more grisly picture, but I'm having trouble putting together a plausible narrative. If the archive were infiltrated, why not just kill them? Clearly they had time to themselves after being maimed, left to bleed out. It's unlikely they did this to themselves, since one would expect a tool nearby and at least one hand among them.
Or, ya know, someone was a little sloppy with the geometry assets and just forgot to toss some hands and feet in there. But I like to think this was intentional.
Any ideas?
-
They have no feet because I have a foot fetish my friends into that handsy shit
-
Sorry, the hands and feet are locked away in an inaccessible area that is already made, 40$ please.
-
Animal activity?
-
Geek Get a life
-
I think that maybe there was a breakout inside and a new species was created.
-
Dreg has a foot fetish???
-
God damn I didn't notice that....
-
This freaked me out when I first saw it. Makes no sense. Part of me knows the environment artists forgot to turn on a layer or something, or the extremities just didn't import... but another part thinks the Fallen take hands and feet as trophies.

I made another character the other day and noticed in the intro cut scene when the ghost is looking for us he scans the inside of a car with a skeleton in it. The skeleton has a hole in the top of his head. I'm guessing he put a gun in his own mouth. "-blam!- this game!" insert gun in mouth.

You need to buy the hands and feet DLC for $60
-
Your answer lies in the Grimoire, specifically the ghost fragment: Fallen 2.
-
wheres da freaking cloths ? i dun assume their cloths are decomposed....
-
Those people are dead because of books moral of the the story books are bad for you kids
-
Noticed this also. Felt like they were definatly locked in there. Starved to death. Maybe they ate their hands and feet because they were starving? No just kidding probably to much work to model hands and feet when almost nobody pays any attention to it. Strikes me as odd though skeletons never have any clothes. Like seriously. Never.

Edited by Billisits: 2/17/2015 1:20:16 AMI remember promptly T-bagging each skeleton. I also thought it was odd that their skeletons were perfect other than the hand/foot thing. Like, [i]really[/i] perfect and very white. Also, I think they got trapped inside and died; nothing could have gotten in except Dr. Shin or a Ghost.
-
I thought they got trapped inside and starved to death. The place didn't look like it had been touched for years. Anyways, I reckon the lack of hands is most likely due to someone at Bungie forgetting to add that in.
-
Is this a repost from 3 months ago? I swear I've already read this.
-
That was doctor Shim and his Wife I believe.
-
I know you find these inside, but by default, limbs won't be found often in skeletal remains because they are lighter than the torso and skull. This causing them to blow away due to wind or whatnot, leaving the torso and skull stationary.

Edited by smizdeazy: 2/16/2015 6:34:21 PMMaybe bungie will patch in a fuking story so we don't have to play mad libs with this piece of shit game anymore
-
They prob don't have hands/feet cause those bones are mostly cartilage and decayed b4 the rest of the skeleton
-
Before every area is a skeleton, or two.
-
No skeletons have hands or feet in destiny. Cool idea tho
-
Maybe rats or some other scavenger ate their faces and extremities shortly after. It's Venus, so there could be anything out there small enough to sneak in and chew away for a while until rigor mortis and bacteria set in.

360 and ps3 couldn't handle the particle effects. It's probably also why you can't pick up enemy guns, ride enemy vehicles, fly, shoot down dropships, and a host of other 9 year old console standards dragging down the experience.
