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?
-
Master Rahool ate the hands and feet, hes an evil masochist after all.
-
Hands and feet might've been eaten off then moved by various denizens I have a sneaking suspicion that they are removed and eaten by the last person there- the mind makes men out of monsters, then makes monster out of men
-
Yeah, I have an idea. There is no back story to them. Bungie just put skeletons there because they thought they would look cool.
-
The hands and feet were removed because that's not how Bungie intended for the game to be played…
-
Scavenging rodents carried off the small hand and foot bones because those were the only ones they could carry.
-
I actually read something which specifically mentioned those researchers, but it was a blip and I can't remember where I read it or what it said. I just remember thinking they bothered to mention a couple skeletons in some random map.

It was the RUF it's their trademark
-
That was my fault. My tummy had the rumblies that only hands could satisfy.
-
It was dr. Shim [spoiler]dum dum dUUUUUUUUM[/spoiler]
-
That's just Bungies lazyness.
-
It probably was NOT intentional
-
I'm gonna have some of these products.
-
Rats ate the hands.

ritual sacrifice

The developers must have forgot to complete the entire anatomy of the skeletons. Or maybe they didn't intentionally to symbolize how incomplete this game is and they're just trolling us with Easter eggs.
-
It's Dr. Shim and his fellows. The hands and feet, that was me. Gun jammed, needed to fashion a weapon.
-
If you want the hands and feet $63.26. Bungivision doesn't want any kind of story included base game. You have to pay for that.
-
takes too many minutes to make feet and hands leave it out.
-
Look up the grimoire for the ghost fragment of the vex, there's a couple to read, it'll fill you in.
