[quote]Exo Warlock! An[i] [b][u]ancient rusted war machine[/u][/b][/i] in a tattered robe who wields unknown powers and carries a shotgun? Does it really need any explanation?

I'm sorry if this is old news, but I think it's confirmed, the Exo is a race of Ancient Reanimated Robots. Dug up to help the peon fleshies from going out of existence. I hope we have a different opening cinimatic/tutorial level based on the race you pick.
Like if you pick Exo, it shows you being dug up in some sort of excavation. If you're Human then it shows you at a excavation site digging up an...EXO! And if you're an Awoken you bust out of one of the coffins (like a vampire) in an excavation site in which a human is digging up an Exo! BOOM you just made three new friends, something crazy happens and you three are now helping eachother fight off some Vex!

I'm actually betting that there is not a grandiose opening set piece like you kind of described. you are [i][/i]a[i][/i] guardian not [i][/i]the[i][/i] guardian. I'm thinking it will be a subtle opening with maybe a tour of the city and some intro missions you can choose from. It sounds to me like the game is giving less of a master chief angle, going for more "you become a legend by what you choose to do", not by how the game directs you. I also don't think there will be a "three unlikely friends" angle as I am sure that you can play together with three of the same race/class and probably more than just three as well. In that same Idea, you are probably not shoehorned into playing with two other AI characters if you are soloing. I'm actually hoping for a more metroid type story where you learn about the lore through exploration and discovery rather than told through video.
