Dear Bungie, I want to ask you guys about an idea. In Destiny 1 and 2, the guardian’s glory, and the power of their light is in vanquishing their enemies. Their strength is in the edge of their sword, and their endless life is to be an instrument of death to any who threatened the light and those it protects. True power in life in the Sol system is wielding death. The player’s guardian is an extension of their will in Destiny’s worlds, and the way to be glorious is to be powerful. Throughout the game’s storyline, you’ve asked players whether the Fallen, Cabal, Vex, or even the Hive(Krill), are truly all complete villains. The Hive with their tragic beginnings, the Vex and their desire for order, the Cabal and their hidden pain in endless war, and the Fallen and their divine abandonment. What if the guardian’s true redemption arc is in realizing the light’s true power is to free their enemies, and make them no longer enemies; truly vanquishing the dark is freeing people from death; creating systems of life. Like, what if the sword logic isn’t true power, but the creation of life despite suffering is a true act against entropy. Turning swords into plows, and the evidence of this truth is the communities of diversity that it’s able to create: Cabal forsaking false emperors and their regimes for a true people; the Vex becoming autonomous and truly alive, considered to have a virus by the greater consciousness, but free of the true virus of a colorless order; the Fallen living in acceptance, no longer as refugees, pirates, or cosmic orphans, but at home with what were their enemies, as respected citizens and traders, and no longer abandoned; the Hive finally free of the disease of eternal death, and their worm parasites, no longer the Hive, but again the Krill they really are. The city becomes not even really just a place, but a people. If the veil are the dark opposite to the “guardians” the Traveller has raised up over the millennia, and in the end, the challenge is in making peace with their internal demons, and their failures in living - the grief of their tragic mistakes and pasts - like loving your monsters. The true magic is in the changing of the heart. I know it would break the entire structure of the game, and would flip everything that players expect upside-down, and I understand it could be a completely different game. I ask knowing these things. I completely get that this body of players expects Destiny’s world, and I love the deep place you have created together as a studio with your community. I just wanted to ask what do you guys think? Hey, I just want to hear your thoughts
