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.

4 RepliesLore from the OTHER SIDE Exotic Sparrow "Do you know what the player on the other side meant? It was an idea that people talked about long ago, before the Golden Age. And the idea was that each of us has a player on the other side—a perfect enemy, just as powerful, just as smart, just as experienced. And that perfect enemy was waiting for each of us, waiting patiently, because the day of meeting would come in time. The other-side enemy didn't have to rush it. Sheer time and chance would bring you together. Think of that. Right now, someone out there is waiting for you, and they know you so well they practically are you. That's the player on the other side." I feel like this is a direct allusion to what we're seeing in game right now (especially at the end of shadowkeep) as well as what has been intended for the story since the very beginning. Not a fight with the darkness itself, but a war with versions of ourselves that use it as a Weapon in the same way we do the Light. A proper Dichotomy. I believe our Pyramid Invaders are simply us on the "Other Side". "Destiny" is simply the outcome of who will win between us and a darker version of ourselves, THE Destiny of the human race decided. Also... Invasions, Pyramids... sounds like an Interdimensional Gambit match.
