Dear Bungie,
I'm baffled. I understand that Oryx is a god and all, but not even gods can morph into a beast 10x their original size. How does someone (or something rather) get killed and magically grow 100 feet tall; it doesn't make any sense. Were my bullets laced with steroids or something? Despite its insignificance , its a recurring paradox throughout the game. Take Crota's sword for example. When you wield it during the quest line its scaled to fit in your guardians hands, right? Yet in the raid its reincarnated into a weapon of mass destruction. Care to explain the discrepancies between the quest and raid story lines? I ask solely out of curiosity ( and a love of the lore). Any response would be greatly appreciated!
P.s. The Taken King is amazing, good job :)

Short Version: His sword is super powerful, when we defeated him in the story, he absorbed all the energy in his sword- that's why it crumbled into dust, and why he seems so powerful in the raid.
