Being an Awoken breaks the lore of the game.
[b]TIMELINE:[/b]
Pre-GoldenAge, Traveler Discovery, Golden Age, Darkness Discovery, The Collapse, the after effects (Forming the Consensus, Building the City, ect.), Destiny I, The Future/Sequels.
Being an Awoken breaks the game. I know your attention span is about 10 minutes #Destiny, so I'll keep it brief.
In game lore fact: Your character died before the Traveler Discovery. This is implied and stated through quotes and the story (or lack thereof).
In game lore fact: The Awoken were created by the Collapse, after they tried to escape into space. This is stated by grimoire, promotions for the game, and many other things.
Rationalized Opinion: Your character, an Awoken who can channel the Travelers light, should not exist because the Awoken did not exist until after the Collapse. Think about it. Your character has to be "Pre-GoldenAge" and the Collapse does not occur until later down the timeline.
So, Bungie, you screwed up. Now what? We get it, Staten leaving leaves the story much to be desired. The one thing you should not do is ignore this.
Plz Leik, Folo, Rate, Subscribe, Reblog, Sacrifice to Satan, ect.
[i]So, #Destiny, what do you think of this? Discuss.[/i]

[/quote] [i]*Citation needed.[/i] I have played through the (lack of) story three times now and not a single time did it imply (nor did I infer from what I was told) that any of my guardians died in the Golden Age. Consider what we [i]were[/i] told, however: The Golden Age lasted centuries and it's been centuries since the Collapse. Do you really believe you've been lying there, a preserved corpse, for a couple hundred years? No, it's far more likely that we are little more than constantly reanimated puppets of the Traveler. The issue with the Queen is just a prime example of a failure to pay attention to detail. While the art team did a fantastic job of paying attention to the small details of the world, the story telling team most certainly DID NOT. No snide comment by the Queen or her Brother about Earthborn Awoken. No real backstory about how the former colonists went through biological evolution to become these altered humans. No story about the Exos, not to mention the fact that they have the "human build" as everyone else AND why the hell do robots need to wear helmets? Edit: And while I'm on a details rant, the game starts "present day" and then we're led to believe we ushered in a new golden age... then how come the Cosmodrome looks like the Soviet Space Program of the 1960s, and Freehold Station on Mars looks like a Greyhound Station from 1955? Moving forward in reverse? What breaks the "lore" of the game is the fact that they didn't flesh it out well and they failed to pay attention to the details - small AND large - that matter in the grand scheme of things.
