Like how back before forsaken Alot of people would avoid fully upgrading the golden gun subclass so they could have 3 shots and more time instead of 6 shot with short time...
My point is will it be possible to completely avoid using and interacting with the darkness...
Lore wise it makes perfect sense to have a choice but gameplay wise I think your going to force us the use them even if I completely avoid unlocking them next dlc it will be forced into my inventory fully upgraded...
Let us choose and have an up side and down side to are character choices.

The plot will advance as Bungie wants it, regardless of what you do. If you want your actions to actually affect the plot, go play something like Fallout: New Vegas.
