Questions & Answers

Q: What is the lost plot twist in Game Theory’s Destiny theory?

The theory proposes that the Traveler may be a deceitful entity rather than the benevolent protector presented by the game. If so, the Guardians’ fight on its behalf may not be as heroic as players have been led to believe.

Q: Why did Destiny’s original release receive criticism for its story?

The campaign offered only a handful of cutscenes and character interactions across roughly 10 to 15 hours. Players seeking more lore had to download a mobile app or log in to Bungie’s website to read unlocked grimoire entries.

Q: When and where does Destiny take place?

Destiny is set in humanity’s solar system almost 700 years in the future. Its world follows a catastrophic event called the Collapse, which ended humanity’s Golden Age.

Q: What began humanity’s Golden Age in Destiny?

The Golden Age began after humanity encountered the mysterious Traveler on Mars. The Traveler helped humanity by terraforming planets and moons and providing new technology and powers described as borderline magic.

Q: What caused the Collapse in Destiny’s history?

The Darkness swept through the solar system after humanity had enjoyed the Traveler’s aid for a few hundred years. It crushed what stood in its path and brought the Golden Age to an end.

Q: How did the Traveler help humanity survive the Collapse?

The Traveler positioned itself over Earth in a final effort to save humanity, and people built their last city beneath it under the protection of its Light. The Traveler then became dormant after creating Ghosts to revive long-dead warriors.

Q: What are Ghosts and Guardians in Destiny?

Ghosts are small machines created by the Traveler that revive dead warriors and grant them the ability to wield Light as a weapon. Those revived warriors are Guardians, the player characters who battle the Fallen, Vex, Hive, Kabal, and other enemies.

Q: What clue helped inspire the theory that Guardians may not be heroes?

A Reddit user named neocitron reported hearing a startled Fallen Dreg seemingly shout “The Darkness” while fleeing during a Moon patrol mission. The narrator treats that interpretation cautiously because the Fallen generally do not speak English, but presents it as a clue that could challenge the assumed roles of the Traveler and its Guardians.
