Where is the Story Going?
I’m personally loving all the little tidbits of past information being given to us. However, I can’t shake the feeling that with the Darkness now in play, there isn’t really a lot of space for us to maneuver around as far as potentially beating the Darkness. I realize that the Darkness is basically the result of a DM in D&D god-modding a boss or character, but that makes it even harder to see an end goal of some kind.
Also, [b]and this is not speculation if they are one and the same,[/b] but the Darkness and Savathun’s personality seem pretty much like copies of each other. Obviously the end-goals are different, but both are sneaky, both think power is the go to solution, both have somewhat unknown intentions... they just seem too similar for the two to work in the same story. I loved “that” moment in the first mission, and I love the idea of an enemy that you can never figure out, but Bungie needs to choose one, at least for now.

Everything Savathûn does aims to strengthen her foothold in the solar system and to bring her closer to victory. The Darkness does not actually care. The Pyramid is merely a conduit for it to you with us as it approaches the Solar System, openly flaunting it’s powers. As to god modding, we’re immortal space wizards serving a giant orb. It stands to reason we’d need a bigger bogeyman with the Traveler seemingly having awoken. Savathûn is deceptive. The Darkness is manipulative. Savathûn does not believe power is the end all solution, as proven by everything she does. The Darkness is the embodiment of power in this universe, the Unveiling implying it has wiped the Universe clean of life many times before. Savathûn wishes to guarantee her own survival by finding a way to perpetually feeding her worm, the Darkness wants to exterminate all life as it has before.
