(Theory) Secret 2014 Destiny Game/Script We Never Got/ 2024
The Secret "Destiny" (2014) Game Script,
The Secret "Destiny" (2014) Game We Never Got,
Back In 2014, "Bungie" Had Quit Making "Halo" Games & Had Spent A Few Years Developing A Game That They (Bungie) Claimed Was The Next Big "Space Epic" & Would Even Be "Bigger Than Halo" & They (Bungie) Heavily Marketed This Game As The Biggest Game Release Of That Decade, Saying That It Would Put All Other (Including Halo) Sci-Fi "Space Epics" To Shame. The Hype For "Destiny" (This Game) Was Immense, w/ Perhaps Millions Of Gamers Emptying Their Wallets & Bank Accounts To Buy (& Pre-Order) This Game, Thinking It Would Be A Must Play, Once In A Lifetime, Experience Like "Bungie" Was Promising, But Sadly, Once The Game Was Released & People Got To Play It, That Excitement, Turned Sour, & Once Again, The Backlash Was Immense,
Now,
There's Many Different Reasons People Didn't Like 2014's "Destiny", But I Won't Go Into That Here Cause It's Kinda Off This Topic,
But, What If, Like w/ "Halo 5: Guardians" There Was A Secret First Script Of The Game That Was Never Released, A Script That Would've Changed, Not Only The Entire Lore Of "Destiny" But Perhaps Made People Have A Different (Perhaps Better) Attitude Towards & Outlook On "Destiny".....
And According To The Guy Who Actually Wrote The Original "Destiny" Script The Story Goes Like This.....
Humanity Discovers "The Traveller" On Another Planet & Brings It Back To Earth & For Some Time "The Traveller" Shines Light Down On Humanity As The Human Race Flourishes, But Then, One Day, "The Fallen" (The Darkness) Arrive & Declare War On Humanity & "The Traveller" As Humanity Takes Up Arms To Fight Back At This Universal Threat, So Your Character Plays Through The Game Fighting "The Fallen" (Darkness) Until You Get To A Specific Point In The Game Where You Learn A Revelation That Shatters Your Understanding Of "The Traveller" & The Light, & That Revelation Is That "The Darkness" (Fallen) Was Actually Created By "The Traveller" As A Way To Trick (Force) Any Lifeforms It Encountered Into Worshipping It Cause It Was Through Worship Of "The Traveller" That "The Traveller" Gained It's Power & Strenghtened It's Lifeforce, Cause See, "The Traveller" Believed That There Was No Actual Reason To Worship It & Once The Lifeforms Of This Universe Realized That They Would Never Worship It & "The Traveller" Would Grow Weak, So To Maintain It's Lifeforce & Grow In Strength, "The Traveller" Created "The Darkness" As A Means To Force The Lifeforms Of This Universe To Worship It, In The Sense Of "Oh, You Won't Worship Me, Well Then You Won't Have My Protection & The Darkness Will Devour You, So If You Want Protection & Salvation From The Darkness Then You'd Better Worship Me", So You See What I Mean, So As More & More Lifeforms Worshipped "The Traveller", The Stronger "The Traveller" Would Become, (Now, It's A Little Foggy On How The Game Actually Ends According To The Original Script But What I've Been Able To Gather From A Few Sources On The Internet Is That The Game Would End Like This)..... So Once Your Character Learns This Revelation About "The Traveller" & The Origin Of "The Darkness", Then Your Mission Becomes To Wake Up As Many Lifeforms As You Can To The Truth & Revolt Against & Stop "The Traveller", & That's Pretty Much The Original First Script Of 2014's "Destiny",
Now, Wouldn't That Have Made For A Better, Perhaps More Interesting, Game w/ A Better Gaming Experience Than The Game We Got, Perhaps, or Perhaps, Like The "Halo 5: Guardians" Original Script, People Would've Hated The Original Script/Game Just As Much or More As The Game We Got, But, Who Knows,
But, In The End,
"Bungie" Decided To Not Go w/ The Original Script For "Destiny" For A Few Reasons But The Main One Is.....
* "Bungie" Felt That The Original Script Was Too Confusing To Players & Society, In The Sense That, The Human Race Has Always Been Lead To Believe That "The Light" [God(s)] Are Good & "The Darkness" Is Evil & That They Originate From Two Separate Sources, Not That "The Light" & "Dark" Are One In The Same & Come From The Same Source, Essentially, "Bungie" Felt This Concept, While It Would've Made For A Great, Unexpected Revelation In The Game, Would Confused and/or Infuriated Gamers & The World, So "Bungie" Decided To Scrap The Original Script & Go w/ What They Thought Was The Safer Choice Of "The Light" (Traveller) & "The Darkness" (The Fallen) Being Separate & Originating From Two Separate Sources So As To Reflect Humanity's Actually Religious History, A Choice They Felt Would Not Infuriate The Religious Sect & Confuse People/Gamers, Essentially Put, The Safer Choice,
So In The End,
Which Version Of "Destiny" Would've Been Received Better, Sold Better, & Had A More Positive Attitude Towards & Outlook On, The Original Secret Script Version or The Version We Got, Well, It's Hard To Say, & I Guess We'll Never Know,
