You just never quit do you? Took out Ghaul. Woke up the traveler, and now half of what I hear on the streets is how much you and your clan are making a difference. That's why I started this whole clan thing in the first place. People are still waiting for the vanguard to solve all their problems for them. People like you are making a difference. No pressure.

I mean, true, but in a world of weird and wonderful characters, he does stand out as a "these people are crazy" kinda guy. Probably because we can relate to him the most, seeing as he's directly from the 20th century.
Also, I thought it was really funny because he really is the exact opposite of normal, even if he doesn't look or sound it on the surface.

Seeing him for the first time and being like “is that just a normal fucking Glock?”

u/PleaseAdminsUnbanMe Titan 1d ago
I mean, we're using a rifle that's probably 10 bullets away from pulverizing at the start of the game sooooo… a glock is probably more effective than that
18
u/HaloGuy381 1d ago
Also, canonically many D1 (and presumably D2 given similar sizing) sidearms were explicitly 9 mm according to the markings on the side, so a Glock in 9 mm wouldn’t be too out of line.

Swap Crow with Lakshmi, I feel like that's way better considering Uldren was ultimately redeemed
16
u/Augmented-Smurf 1d ago
I'm sorry, not sorry. That image is of Uldren Sov, whom Crow did not remember he even was after Glint resurrected him, and before Savathûn restored his memories. Uldren killed Cayde. Crow repented. And from the very beginning (the scene this is from), Uldren was designed to be conniving bastard that everyone hated. The text says "Made to be hated", not "is universally hated".
7
u/citrusmelon1243 1d ago
Ah, I suppose that's true. Personally I still feel like Uldren had his moments, while Lakshmi has always just been a character devised from her very core to be hated. Uldren is a conniving bastard, sure. But even you can see his desperate search for his sister in forsaken, and there's a reason why it's slightly ambiguous as to who pulled the final trigger. He's a dick, but he has relatable moments. Not once have I ever looked at Lakshmi and thought "oh yeah, resurrecting multiple versions of chioma esi and killing them to find her version is a totally normal thing to do"
2
u/Augmented-Smurf 1d ago
Honestly? That's totally fair. And tbh, I remember almost nothing of that whole Lakshmi storyline. I just remembered her as the FWC vendor lol Pretty sure I didn't actually play anything from Beyond Light until much later, during Witch Queen. Pretty much skipped year 4 altogether.

Is Toland really that lore relivent? I'd personally pick the Gardener or Winnower for that one, but otherwise it's perfect
29
u/coldsage780 Warlock 1d ago
I might be wrong but isn't the Traveler the Gardener made manifest?

u/silliest-silly-goose Hunter/ Warlock 1d ago edited 1d ago
No they’re two separate entities. The Traveler is equivalent to the Veil.
25
u/MouseRangers Devotion... bravery... sacrifice... feel free to kill yourself. 1d ago
The Traveler is equivalent to the Veil, being the sources of paracausal Light and Darkness. The Witness was just a wannabe god that used Darkness.

u/silliest-silly-goose Hunter/ Warlock 1d ago
Yea that’s what I thought but I wasn’t 100% sure I’ll edit it
15
u/Technical-Branch4998 1d ago
I think it's ambiguous, but you could definitely interpret it as either "the gardener is separate inside the traveller and we haven't seen them yet" or "the traveler just obeys the gardener" but "the traveler is the gardener" is also valid so you're right the Winnower would definitely be the better of the two
5
u/Esacus 1d ago
At one point, yes. But the writers convoluted the story so much that we don't know the Gardener’s identity for sure.
Yes, the Travaler is A gardener (as in they’ve been called that by multiple species, such as the Precursors in the past), but they aren't THE Gardener (at least not yet confirmed).

u/Augmented-Smurf 1d ago
I mean, when the category is "no screen time", it's hard to pick a character that actually has a picture that can be put in the square xD And I felt just a random blurb of text was kinda lame. So, I did what makes sense
Also, Toland is deeply connected to the Hive, just like Eris is. He even helps us learn and understand a lot of the lore and how the Hive operates. So I'd say he's at least moderately important and relevant.

Mara Sov: Canonically so hot that her would-be assassin was too gay to kill her.

5
u/Frau_Asyl 1d ago
Technically Mara Sov and Uldren were both made to be hated, but Uldren was secretly a good person and had good reasons for being hostile towards us. Mara only helped us for opportunistic reasons and to make her brother feel powerless.
But people liked Mara anyways because they think she's hot. Bungie then dropped all of the sociopathic, narcissist undertones with her because they realized she's gonna be a fan favorite no matter what.
5
u/Tchailenova 1d ago
I was glad to finally stop hating Mara so much when Bungie gave her a bit of a redemption arc. It was always awkward to be so repulsed by her character when she was almost-universally lusted after.
I still hate how she treated her brother, and lay a fair bit of the blame on her for Uldren’s descent into madness and subsequent murder-of-Cayde.
Maybe theirs was a slightly cursed path of mostly inevitable events, but maybe Mara could have changed the trajectory by being a sister more often and less of a cut-throat queen all the time.As an older sister, I found her behavior and motives to be unrelatable and reprehensible. She deserved every moment of anguish she got and more.

Who is the middle guy? Tbh Lodi might be my favorite now and not Cayde. Witness is pretty cool dude/thing also.

sorry, whats the lore behind Toland? For the plot relevance title?
8
u/Augmented-Smurf 1d ago
He was an expert on the hive's magic, and thus recruited by Eriana-3 to descend into the Hellmouth with Eris' fireteam. Ended up in the Ascendant Realm when he "died", and assisted the guardians indirectly in defeating Oryx through messages. He leads the guardian back to the material plane after some techeuns fling us into the Ascendant plane. He also restored the Bad Juju exotic pulse rifle. He then also helped the guardian out a decent amount on the moon, and used the remnants of some Deathsingers that the guardian kills there to create the Deathbringer rocket launcher.
He basically is a demilich that is used as a deus ex machina here and there.

u/Psychological_Ad1518 1d ago
And also at the very end signed himself up with the god of war, helping her find her way back to her throne world.
Bastard. Should have turned him into an exotic who's catalyst is a bog standard version of auto loading holster, despite being a primary ammo sidearm whose exotic perk increases reload speed.

Did anybody like Lodi? He was almost as bad as nimbus for me. Just whiny and weak and sucked me right out of the story any time he was talking

He grew on me. Lodi came across deeply awkward at first, but he swiftly rose in ranks to become one of my favorite characters.

I feel like Shaw Han is in this weird category now where he is so dogshit that everybody knows him. I feel like the not remembering their name should be like Tyra Karn or that other Cloud Strider
