[b]Do you think The Traveler is good or evil?[/b]
There are many theories of what the Traveler is here for. He can be here to save us, kill us, or just use us for his survival.
There is a video that I watched that explains some of the theories, but still i wanna know yours if you want.
I know I'm using his idea on the forums but i want to know too.
If you wanna know my theory, I think the Traveler was a A.I., that actually got a mind of its own, and it might have, been used to go against the darkness. I think The Cabal, and the Fallen were accidents, because as far as their back stories go, they are there to either skirmish ruins, to find something to use and take (Like scraps, not the traveler), or either to take over territory.
I think the Hive and the Vex, were both somewhat connected. I think the Vex were with the Traveler at some point, with they're humanoid masters (Possibly extinct now), and were going against the Hive, a mysterious race that no one has ever seen. The Traveler, the Vex, and their masters both went against the Darkness, but the Hive did a very dark ritual, and caused the Vex to go against the light. The Vex started to make amazing A.I.'s that can build a time portal, and make another Universe, aka the Vault of Glass. The Traveler had no choice but to leave the civilization, and find a new one, and tell them what will come soon. The Traveler might be its own mind now, trying to fight for survival against the Hive and Vex, or he still is trying to run his main Mission, to stop the Darkness, and bring back the light. The Traveler then found the Human Race, and he decided to show them where they can find him, to test them if they can travel through space. After they reached Mars, the Traveler gave them everything, hope, freedom, light, and a Golden Age, but corruption happened between the Humans. They built Exo's to fight wars, they made factions, and had darkness return in their hearts. He decided to become quiet, and only speak to one man, the speaker, and eventually the age collapsed on itself, destroying everything. The Traveler continued on while the Humans, Exo's, and the recent Awoken that traveled here to live on, nearly become extinct. Then the Darkness came. The races rushed to the Traveler, asking for forgiveness. The Traveler saw light, a.nd he gave the Races a city, and Ghosts, so they can become guardians, to fight the darkness

Don't know. Bungie didn't explain.

Use us for its survival

There are more than one "Traveler". Contrary to popular belief, they are not here to protect us. They are here for a more sinister purpose. You can see another one of these "Travelers" floating several hundred feet in the air above the area where you battle Crota. And that Black phenomena where its core should be? A Black Heart, just like the one you destroy in the Black Garden. Which is funny actually, because you are not actually in a Garden, you are inside another one of these Travelers, destroying its Black Heart.

Edited by Purestrain: 1/27/2015 3:05:43 AMI will quit my favorite novel series the black company (from memory, not exact). "Evil isn't a thing, you can't label it, you can't hang a sign on it. Evil is relative to where you are standing and pointing your finger (typo finger and auto correct put in gun fire, same thing :p) And to quote red hrs blue, "in the face of extinction, any other alternative is acceptable." (Not exact quote I'm sure)

Why did the Titans eye hurt? [spoiler]because he couldn't blink[/spoiler]

If he's evil why did we find him on mars? Why didnt he just come to us? Maybe the speaker is the darkness and using the traveler.

Semi-chaotic neutral.

Idk I've seen old concept art of the black garden and it was round so that led me to think it was inside the traveller. Then there's the whole re work of the story where the original one basically says that yes the traveller is evil, and crow which is the emo fag butt pirate aka Queens brother his name used to be crow in the original story. If you look at his grimoire cards they mention master of crows so I'm guessing a lot of the story is just gonna be polished and fixed to match this new pathetic one we have and will eventually all combine to be the original story.
