Do you actually know what the elements tied to your weapons do? Well it let me tell you. It does bonus damage only to enemy shields of the same colour as the element eg: fire kills hive shield which is red. Where is this explained? Nowhere I learned it from some guy on youtube who has read every interview press release and analysed every trailer to figure it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTLosBMLt3Q (also don't tell me I should google this stuff, if I need to google stuff about your game to understand how it works that's bad game design.)
This is my biggest issue so far, nothing is explained in game. I didn't know there were fractions for the longest time until my friend pointed it out. I don't know anything about these fractions other then their names (New Monarchy, war cult? and another one) beyond a really generic flavour text. I don't know who the guardian it or what my ghost is or who I am. Sure I am a guardian but what the hell is that, am I immortal? can I die? Why do some guardians die but I don't, why am was in particular resurrected and subsequently conscripted for the fight against the darkness. Now I am only beaten the moon and the earth but these questions keep coming up constantly and are never addressed.
Even if these all these questions get answered later, which I doubt, why later rather then now when I am very very confused about your world and want to know more. Like it's not like my guardian is dumb enough to not be asking these questions so why doesn't my ghost just tell me?

[/quote] A big part of the problem is the game is trying to relay the Idea that sooo much was lost in collapse that a lot of knowledge has been lost. the Guardians beyond being resurrected to fight for the traveller and wield his light as a weapon we just don't know. what the Ghosts are is specifically pointed out they don't know, They know only that it was the last act of the traveller to create them and have them resurrect the guardians. but then other things are explained IF you pay attention. are guardians Immortal?, can they die? no you're not immortal every time "fall" in battle you die. Luckily you have a ghost who can resurrect you as long as you have some of the travellers light within you, if this is drained.....well enjoy death. as for why you were chosen specifically once again goes back to the mysterious nature of the ghosts we just don't know much about them and it is the ghosts that chose the Guardians. you have to pay close attention to find this stuff out. as for factions, this comes down to bungies mistake, Grimoire cards should be in the game as they explain a lot.
