The opening cutscene only makes sense for exo's... Like a dead human or awoken laying in a field in Russia would not decompose and turn to dust. Like others have said, Bungie was lazy and gave everyone the Exo beginning. /thread

Ghosts can bring their Guardian back from the dead. It doesn't matter if the Guardian is a machine or organic. It doesn't matter if the Guardian is crushed, exploded, burned, or left to decay in the ruins of Old Russia.

I remember reading a grimoire card about a ghost going to mars looking for a guardian. He stated that the desert tore away away at the flesh of everyone there, and because of this he couldn't find one. So you do need some kind of corpse.

Although it's still possible there could have been enough of a human or awoken corpse in order to revive our characters in Old Russia.

Yeah, I admit that it is a possibility. But overall, the whole concept of being revived there still makes as much sense as "you probably don't remember anything about your previous life. However, you can still speak English fluently".

It's Space Magic. Our characters know how to speak, use guns, pilot sparrows, maintain and upgrade their own gear. I just suspend my disbelief and accept this kind of stuff as necessary to keep the story moving. I'm just glad I didn't have to sit through a montage of our characters learning to speak, walk, and poop all over again.
-
Yeah, I began to realize after around the third mission they didn't think any of this through....
-
I don't think these sort of details matter much. The idea of the game is to get the players into the action as soon as possible. Our characters will know what they need to know in order to be bad ass action heroes. They're also empty shells (no backgrounds) because we're meant to inhabit them and instill ourselves into this character. Rather than being a puppeteer for an action hero that someone else fully fleshed out, we are the action heroes and this is our legend. It's just like the main character of Marathon, and to a lesser extent Master Chief, were empty shells for the same reason.
-
Yeah, but our characters just seem to not care about themselves. Quite personally, if I had just been revived from the dead and had no memory, I would at mention how little I knew about myself instead of just going with it.

So why are the skeletons still there? *scans skeleton* "Ouch"
