I chose "Other", because I feel that the truth is in the middle. Do not think that the Guardians are directly evil, but I do feel that we are being misled. The Speaker may have other motivations, or has become corrupted by zealousy about the lore of the traveler. I assume that there is likely cults of people in the last city that revere the Traveler and, seeing human nature, would likely organize religions around it. Not trying to phrase this in any way that offends anyone, but religion is built around lore, and lore evolves over time into magnificent stories that they did not start out as being. That is why I am interested in knowing who made the Speaker be the "Speaker". Was it an appointment by one of those religions, was it ordained by the Traveler that the Speaker would come one day, is it a bloodline (not entirely unlike royalty)? If any of that is the case, I would imagine that we would not know for some time. Imagine that if any of these types of theories are valid, it is going to come as a plot twist, much later in the life of the game.

  • Nice, like this much more. I'm trying so hard to build the patience for the story but don't know if I'm getting more DLC. I bought the expansion with y preorder so that might be it for me sadly. In Bacon We Trust

  • Not to provide flame bait here, but I still really do take the story at face value. In the first couple of minutes, our character is explicitly told that there are things that we won't understand - and I think that is part of what is going on. The story is definitely thin, but I know that there are at least a few other people on here who thinks that /is/ part of the story, this early on. I do hope that we get some of the Speaker's backstory at some point. He can't have been the only speaker, unless he is an Exo, I would think. That alone, makes for some interesting story options. If he is an Exo, does that mean that he is susceptible to Rasputin - i.e. can get hacked? And, since I know that there are people who are still new to the game... [spoiler]With the Traveler awakening, at the end of the story, I wonder what implications are for the Speaker? Is his role now marginalized, will the Traveler have issues with the role that the Speaker has played while it had laid dormant. More importantly, I am wondering what the "will of the Traveler" will be, as it becomes sentient again.[/spoiler]
