They could have done what the Traveler had done for them and journeyed throughout the rest of the cosmos, uplifting civilizations with their technology and bringing peace and prosperity. All the good they could have done with all their power, and instead they settled on cruelty, domination, and genocide because they needed something "greater" to give them purpose instead of being brave.

Zavala made the argument of a mutiny and genocide Many stories over the years have been hinting at what the Witness did and we just didn't see the clues till now Clovis a scientist who felt the Traveler shouldn't be relied upon, so he went out his way to build exos, rasputin and warminds (the Witness has its own army of ships) Rhulk a victim of the Witness, manipulated into killing his entire species, and was gaslighted into believing he was saving them (The Witness preaches salvation, and pre merge killed those that didn't comply, and the species became 1 entity) Lightfall and subsequent seasons have been talking about different civilizations and how they operate, Neptune's people live in a matrix (the Witness is composed of a civilization hence the faces), the hive and their sword logic (only the strongest survive, the Witness killed the weak minded of its people)

I love how this perfectly describes the difference between the principals of Light and Darkness. The Light is an immediate gift of freedom, while the Darkness is a patient offering of purpose and structure. Ngl, I think I’d be very tempted by the latter if this were real.

The light wants an eternal heaven for everyone no matter the person or civilization and the darkness wants an eternal heaven for the worthy who have endured the worst and best (strongest, wisest, kindest, most orderly). The witness deviates from the darkness and wants some sort of singularity with them at the center being some sort of god/amalgamation of perfection to end all suffering. The light believes everyone should have heaven and the light alone would be the caretaker of the universe which shields everyone somehow. The darkness believes this isn't possible, and an eternal heaven/utopia that is perfect must be created by the perfect/near perfect few in order to create true peace. The darkness believes the light alone cannot provide safety, meaning, structure and only a universe of helpless hedonists. They believe chaos, misery, and all bad things can be solved with order, perfection, evolution, meaning and finality. The light believes all bad things/suffering can be ended with showering of love, abundance, eternity, peace, hedonism. Both are correct and incorrect as both as seen in the lore, cause death, suffering, destruction, and conflict. In terms of choosing between light and dark, the objectively correct choice would be in between.

@@BryonYoungblood We find meaning in strife because we have to suffer anyways. We justify life as short and sweet because we do not have a solution to death.

What if you didn't just have to use these half-measures as a justification to accept life's frailty and tribulations, but you ACTUALLY lived in a true paradise, forever. Do you think you would honestly feel the same way. That after some time it would be an assumption that life is unbearable without strife and self-imposed goals could fill that gulf? I watched a video recently weighing the pros/cons of Heaven as portrayed in Abrahamic faiths vs complete oblivion upon death. Not about the virtue of belief vs nonbelieving mind you, that wasn't the point. Just an assessment of what is better, singing songs in a perfectly ordered reality for all time or total and complete finality. It was very interesting hearing the points AGAINST perfect existence and really got me thinking. There's also an interesting treatise on what happens in 20000 years in a hypothetical future where our descendants find the cure to stop cellular degeneration and unlock immortality. The weight of tragedy that they did not start sooner, that we spent eons crafting myths about the "sanctity of life" or "finding meaning" when we could have just put inertia into unlocking life's secrets to create immortal beings. Every person who died since then would be considers causalities of willful ignorance in a sense. Because the unlucky persons who would have died five minutes before the cure is researched, tested and distributed died needlessly.

It's fascinating that a species that has had nothing but blessings bestowed to them from the Traveler for eons could be swayed into believing that the Light "might" or "randomly" cause cataclysmic cosmic events that could destroy entire civilizations, and because of that "justification" decide to... commit cataclysimc cosmic events that destroy entire civilzation.

Where is the evidence that the light “may” randomly cause cataclysmic events? I’m truly unsure, I haven’t played destiny since beyond light. Is it referenced anywhere? is it a literal physical explosion from the traveler that will kill all? I’m just very confused and trying to learn about the witness and the darkness/veil after discovering they are much more prevalent in the story now. You couldn’t really get this lore back in the day, but there’s so much lore it’ll take hours to sift through. A little more to go on other than what seems to be baseless conjecture by this witness’s race would surely be helpful. I am interested in seeing how the story of the traveler and veil started and why it’s coming to an end, as I’ve been into the destiny universe since D1 alpha. I just cannot be bothered to play it anymore, they have mastered the grind fest playback loop with very little tangible content drizzled in between and seasonal business model that I can’t stand in the gaming world more than almost every thing else in it at this point.

@Jasondurgen See, that's the problem. There isn't any evidence for it, because it never happened. It's hypothetically possible because the Light is a tool and a tool can be used for evil. The Traveler never did nor has done anything evil with it, but since the Traveler never spoke or communicated, it's a doubt and worry exploited by whatever was in the Veil. To be clear, the Light could kill everything, and it could do it in an infinite amount of ways since it doesn't follow the laws of physics. It's just that the Traveler would never do it, but the Witness definitely would if it succeeds during Final Shape because it's "perfecting" the universe with "purpose"

I’m pretty positive it wasn’t because of might or if. Look at the pure destruction we can cause as lightbearers, and that’s with only a few centuries of experience. Imagine what depths they achieved with the light with eons of experience. They probably were doing things with the light we haven’t even imagined to dream of in the first place, our light usage is probably laughable to them. They probably saw scales of light usage that was civilization ending, light in itself is extremely destructive when you have no directions or guidance just power for the sake of power. So they sought the veil to control it on a reality warping scale. The traveler said naw and ran

@kyleespinoza7201

9 ай бұрын

@Devil0027 counter points; The Witness was created on the premise that the Light could (and so would) destroy at random, not that the Light was simply capable of destructible. This flies in the face of their own personal experience of exclusively being uplifted by the Traveler in a careful, calculated way. Sure, Guardians are capable of unspeakable destruction, but at our own hands when we choose to. Humanity (and then the Hive later) were the only ones gifted with Ghosts at any point in history as of the story right now, which is a massive difference between a species "having" the Light. The heights of technological advancements based on studying paracausal forces is pretty clear (the Pyramid tech), but that's simply not the same as being capable of channeling it as Guardians do. Splicer abilities, for example, are incredible from a normal physics stand point, but kind of hilarious when compared to ressurection or manipulating the fabric of reality limited by your imagination. And, that's not technically true. The Witness seeks the Veil to shape reality as it sees fit. The Light's destructive power is barely a consideration or factor compared to its goal of the Final Shape, and honestly I'd rather have the Traveler and even destructive Guardians over the universes being turned into a statue to be shaped by a truly omnicidal psychopath.

It sounds like you guys either skimmed over the launch of Lightfall or didn't play it period. The opening and story of Lightfall had no weight, no sense of urgency. If we could have discovered in Calus's ship midway through that Witness's intent just wasn't to get the Traveller, but to rewrite the universe itself, the impact that would have made... We were expected to feel like the Veil had some huge significance without any clue what it even was we were trying to save. It's not some big ask like rewriting the entire game like some clueless idiot tried to rebuttal, but just asking for a key cutscene that can be inserted literally anywhere easily, that's not difficult coding. And considering how innumerable the amount of complaints everyone in the community or even out of the community just reviewing Lightfall felt, this little lore being left out was indeed a big fail. It doesn't take much commonsense to understand where a plot point needs to go.

The Witness: What is my purpose? The Traveler: You pass butter. The Witness: ...Oh my god... The Traveler: Yeah. Welcome to the club, pal.

Most people forgot what the veil was at this point but basically they’re mad that the traveler traveled despite the fact they tried to tamper with it

So the Witness is an amalgamation of ALL the souls from the Traveler's 1st people?

When I take into account Entelechy, it gives a strong sense that this memory is the end result of the Precursors "forgetting" doubt and dissent, and the mistakes the Precursors made. Remembering a "paradise" with no mention of the strife or the eradication of dissenting factions leading up to ots creation. Just a certainty of the "truth in the Darkness" and the chaos brought by the Gardener.

Ah yes, the cutscene that should be a part of Lightfall 🙄

I would've gave half the Lightfall cutscenes just to see a good cutscene showing the origins of the Witness. This is a poor cutscene made by external people who didn't even bother to look for the OG creators of the art they copypasted. Which also shows how Bungie did little to supervise this. And don't forget this cutscene will go away at the end of the year with the rest of the seasonal content. The most important cutscene in Destiny's history and this is what we got. Ok, Bungie.

"Ayyy FFXIV, mind if I cop your villains origin story?"

So, that’s what The Witness is. It’s not some eldritch entity that has existed beside The Traveller since the dawn of time, it’s the embodiment of a people who were blessed with so much by the Traveller, but wanted more. Then, when said people wanted to reshape the universe, the Traveller rejected them and they couldn’t accept that. This honestly makes the Witness seem almost human.

Bungie is pathetic in that aspect

Why hide this cutscene in the Season?? If this was in the Lightfall campign it would be so much better.

So you have to pay $15 more.

seems like this would have been nice to see within the dlc lol

dude is literally lord business from the lego movie, out here with the kragle trying to make taco Tuesday happen

This only makes me wonder if this will unveil some kind of connection with the Speaker's origin...

I'll take "Should have been in Lightfall" for 100, Alex.

The traveler traveled, causing a conflict in the universe... Huh

I wonder if we will ever see the witness home world that would be a trip

so that explains the random statues of people missing limbs on the pyramids like in vow it all makes sense now

So how did the fish know this, just curious.

i mean she was there millions of years ago when the witness came to fundament, and she can speak and see through minds. don’t see why she couldn’t have gotten a glimpse or spoken directly to the witness

Calling it, The traveler is a W’rkencacnter from Pathways Into Darkness and Marathon 2/Infinite.

When can I change the name in the game? It has been a long time since it can be modified

The traveler and the veil are therefore not 2 different entities, in their beginnings they formed only one. In the legend the gardener and the winnower (traveler and veil) "cohabited" together but had to separate because he did not agree on many things (the gardener wanted to shape creations, multiply them etc.. ) And from the Witness became impregnated with the darkness being diffused by the veil and began to search for the traveler through galaxies or universes what do I know in order to find him and create the Final form. The final shape will be (and remember) the veil inside the traveler as can be seen in different images and videos, this is what the witness is trying to do. We already had the clues at the tower a while ago (on the walls a circle with a triangle, the final shape.. After that I don't know what will happen to it.

Literally everything you wrote is wrong lmao. The Witness is the winnower, not the veil. And the final shape is reshaping the usiverse into the Witness’s liking, a universe with no chaos and only control. It’s all in the cutscene mate

they did it, THEY WITNESSED

It's amazing how they say the Veil will be explained this season, but the only thing they did was show it off in a cutscene and a mission without explaining *how* it's linked to the Traveller. Just that "it's connected and the Witness wanted to do then, what it did a season ago." But this also 100% should've been a mid-Lightfall cutscene, not something planned well over a year ago to keep players invested in your increasingly expensive monetization plan.

Remember the awesome cutscene that Bungie outsourced to a 3rd party animator, then didn't check the animator's plagiarism, then sold the cutscene in a paid season that should've been a part of the previous paid DLC? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

The Witness is a fusion of the entire race first blessed by the Traveler? That explains now why the Witness refers to themselves in plural. Also why the smoke on their head looks like heads

The pyramid ship music will always creep me out lol

So, question for yall. Is the Witness's homeworld the black garden? Because that one lore tab talking about the gardener and the winnower in the garden with the tree of silver wings and all implies that "the garden" is the black garden, and this cutscene refers to their homeworld as "the garden" so are they the same place or...?

nope. not even a bit

What’s the song in the background tho

Man they really love that "travel through the crack" animation as of lately😂

Song?

They literally posted this so people who didn't buy the season didn't feel left out lol

Should have been in Lightfall but very cool nonetheless.

This lore goes deeper than ever we thought.

It’s actually not that deep.

So the Witness is the Destiny version of Giant Rei from End of Evangelion?

Why was this not in LightFall

The witness is a bunch of souls bunched up together😮

So he’s the Thanos of this saga?

Bungo why your cinematics are always stuck at 30 fps?

So you guys realize how many millions of lives were lost in this universal game of hide and seek?!

It is to the Darkness what the Traveler is to the Light.

This could have been the intro cutscene to lightfall.

Bringing change wherever it went, the Gardener could not bear to see itself change by its creations, so it fled. A coward, an ego unto itself, a judge unworthy of its own title.

Welp, there goes any interest I had in this story. No idea how "we should dismiss and retcon all the good lore" was the winning move in the writers room.

@@nevermore7285 We had an established characterization, ideology, origin, and general history that was literally thrown away for this. Thats not even mentioning the horrible retcons to Darkness itself and paracausality in general.

Should’ve been at the beginning of Lightfall

It would've been cool to see this sooner never knew it existed lol

I feel this season should've been the season we got at launch for lightfall maybe then lightfall wouldn't have had such a bad start.

Thats ACTUALLY Crazy like who woulda thought that the witness is just Multiple upon multiple people just fused together to create one super enigma, One super Entity

This shoul've been a Lighfall story cutscene, not just for a seasonal event. This proves that there was a good story behind everything, but the organization was terrible.

cant wait to season of the deep to conclude and the pre order for final shape comes out to spend another 100$

The funny thing is, they desired purpose and it’s exactly what they got. Almost like how Riven changed Uldren’s wish because “he should have been more specific”.

Umm how dose a fish knows all this ?
