Do you guys think it's fair to assume that Destiny has 3 intertwining and unfolding stories?
If not 'stories', more like 'categories of story' or 'spheres'
Science: Rasputin, warminds, Vex, Golden Age technology
Spirituality: Dark vs Light, balance, Darkness, Traveler, life and death
Survival: Fallen, Cabal, humanity, war, struggling in the wilderness
I don't like seeing theories like "OMG Rasputin is the Traveler" or "Rasputin is the Darkness", I think they are stupid because I feel they cross into the different spheres of the story.

1 ReplyYes, people often try to tie everything together into one grand theory, but there may be several plot lines at work. [quote]Spirituality: Dark vs Light, balance, Darkness, Traveler, life and death.[/quote] I see "Light" and "Dark" not as good or evil, but rather two ways of being, of approaching the universe. Darkness seems to be a purely mechanistic, utilitarian view--only the most ruthless civilizations will survive, so we must be more ruthless than anyone else (Toland's 3 queens card). Light seems to be the opposite--a cooperative view: races should help each other get through this thing, whatever it is.
