@DestinyBulletn this is the same writer who retconned Unveiling and worked on Lightfall. When personal agendas take priority over a universe as rich as Destiny, this is the result: failure.
@freelanceginger@DestinyBulletn bad. As a reminder, the Witness is evil because life was too beautiful and it had no purpose…
All of this happens in the worst DLC, with hollow characters and lore elements added out of, “I don’t even know where…” -
@freelanceginger@DestinyBulletn right in front of us for a long time, but only became clear later. With Ahsa — and already, the fact that she turned out to be an uncorrupted Worm God, not corrupted by the Witness, was bad — she also announces that Unveiling is false.

@freelanceginger@DestinyBulletn To put it briefly, Unveiling explains that the Gardener and the Winnower argued over the cosmic rules before ultimately playing out their conflict in the physical universe: the Gardener in the form of the Traveler, and the Winnower supposedly in the form of the Pyramids, along -
