LOVE this thread! How can I join / follow the Collective? Anon is an awesome read as well...
Also, lore question.
How likely is it that Oryx got gifted the ability to "take" individuals when he was knighted?
I feel like he is actually kind of a weenie and had greater power bestowed on him before launching his invasion to offer a greater chance of success.
That being said, I'd bet the other 4 (or more) Hive gods fully expecr Oryx to fail, just as his son did. I would be pretty surprised if a few years from now when this is all fleshed out if we don't look back on Crota and Oryx as cute little diversions that challenged us for a few months.
Not to say I'm not all kinds of excited for what should prove to be an awesome expansion with TTK!

Just look up the Collective and press Join. Yes, I believe that Oryx got his 'Taken' powers when he was knighted and gifted the Osmium Throne. The Collective's resident Hive experts compares the Hive gods to the Ancient Greek Pantheons: Urrox is a demigod; Crota is a god; Oryx is a titan; and Eir, Ur, Xol, and Yul are primordial forces. There are many other gods though

Pretty interesting theory. Would it be fair to compare Guardians to demi-gods too? I could fancy myself a Theseus or Perseus. Or maybe more like Icarus given a second chance? I made the comment in another thread that I belive we will assault the Hive's "Mt. Olympus" (after a couple DLCs featuring Vex, Cabal and another Fallen one) where we will challenge their pantheon, taking the fight to them en masse. I still hope I'm right!

We probably won't take them all on at once, we'll weaken them god by god
