Cosmic balance

The universe can’t be dominated by one force both have to exist or everything becomes a living hell. A blinding world where everyone is in perpetual agony or a dark world where nothing moves. If we are to truly get rid of the darkness we’ll also have to get rid of the light, something Bungie hunter at in year one with the Symmetry flight ship.

  • I’m not real sure where these extreme scenarios with the Light came from. The Traveler had millions of years as the dominate power when the Worm Gods were trapped. It cultivated an entire galaxy for Millions of years and what happened? Nothing. The Traveler didn’t make a single person immortal. Except maybe the Leviathan. Who spent all its time watching the Worm Gods. So where is this crap coming from? It’s one of the most hamfisted changes I’ve seen in this franchise. Literally everything in the lore points that the Traveler and Light wouldn’t do it. Especially in light of the fact they already had the chance and showed they won’t. But the Darkness and Nine make the [i]accusation[/i] (shocker, they all have an interest in dominating the Light for their own gain by the way) and it’s treated like gospel? Sorry but no. Doesn’t float at all.

      I highly disagree. All the Darkness wants is for the strong to be the only life in the universe. The best of the best. The cream of the crop. Which is exactly what we have in the real world. The strong survive, the weak die out. It’s when extra things come into play to try and help out the weak when things get messy. It’s the natural order of things. Survival of the fittest. Plain and simple. That’s not “Dark” in my opinion. It’s just how things are. Take away the Darkness, and you have a myriad of weak life forms all crowding and overpopulating the universe until it eventually has nothing left to give. Take away the Traveler/Gardener, things go back to the way things are meant to be.

    • The universe does not need either, if the darkness wins everything will kill each other until only one is left, if the light wins thing still be much more prosperous but death will still exist and there will still be war just not necessarily to the point of universal genocide. It was never the light's goal to make everything undying, the only ones that were made so are a relatively few of one specific species and that was a result of the darkness itself. In short the universe does not need the darkness for things to die, it does not need the light for things to live and if both simply left life will go on being created and destroyed, same if both remained. The world of light and world of darkness that the nine to on about was pulled from their dark matter encrusted asses, the same goes for Mara and Ulan Tan.

    • There’s a Drifter / Emissary dialogue which indicates the need for Light and Dark to co-exist

    • <Given the state of the Traveler, I think the Darkness will get rid of it for us and we'll just have to deal with one cosmic power... the strongest one but still. Balance in our time is the removal of both Gods and potentially both powers. They are unnatural.>
