***** Still he has a voice LIKE guardian. I know it's weird to say but think about it. If you got will smith to read it, I wouldn't see it the same way. If you got tyler walkins to read it I still wouldn't see it this. If you got Morgan freeman to do it, I still wouldn't say he sounds like a guardian. Maybe a narrator sure, but not like a guardian. This guys voice is perfect for reading it. But what truly does a guardian sounds like? What makes this one guys voice, even though he's reading it from the grimoire card, make it's so destiny-like? It's weird but at the same time warming and welcomed.
Apollyon Leviathus it is because he isn't "famous", he is one of us a normal everyday person who lives on the same dot on the time line. Guardians were meant to be people who were just people that became re-forged in the light of the traveler. He sounds that way because he is just a normal person.
I play as an Exo, hunter class. I really liked the idea of a sentient AI on equal footing with humanity, not trying to destroy us like in so many SciFis involving AI, but instead they stand with us. That, and the idea that if I were to live to see the future, it would be to upload my consciousness into something else, something that wouldn't grow old and weak like living tissue eventually does. Perhaps that's how Exo's were formed to begin with. :)
Wally Wally I love your lore series on this, but is their any info on corta? Or is all the info going be given when the dlc is released? I haven't been one that read all of the gremoire cards that help with the lore as fillers, but do you know if there is any to define what type of hive is he?
This guy is making one of the best "lore" series on youtube. From the depth of research, explanation and connection of VERY obscure parts of the universe, to the narration that makes it seem like I'm listening to an important and knowledgeable citizen of the Tower itself, it all makes for a very engaging experience for us Destiny fans. Awesome video series, great job here.
I hope that in the future they have a highly detailed exo story with us creating what our human form looked like before becoming a exo in a flashback while still keeping the mystery of our past life before the need to become a exo. Also the backstory of first exos being created sometime in 21st century posibly before the traveler came. Would be epic cutscenes of glimpses of our past each time we level up.
This unique content is rich because of your fine editing choices, the tempo of the musical score and the questions you raise in this thought provoking piece. Well deserved thumbs up.
Jesus christ I just went on a super marathon here. Facinating stuff buried in the lore of Destiny. So many questions to ask, and so little answers. I'm subscribing to you because you make this lore so much clearer, pulling from not just grimoire cards but even in game items to help piece this grand story together. Keep it up man, this is all VERY much appreciated by a Warlock like me.
The tower is the current tower, the people they kill are the corrupted persons who were taken by the darkness upon failing, the reaching of the tower is when they are first awoken from their death on battle, and their return in hopes to join the guardians.
Wow. Blown away by the detail and effort put into these reports. I wish more of this was in the actual game cut scenes!. Your work is greatly appreciated!
Sir Wallen, Superb falls short of what you have undertaken and accomplished through these excellent videos. As much as this particular game is loathed for the many things it does in awkward fashion, and at times flat-out-wrong, as someone who appreciates the art of gaming, it is a game to be hailed for the few things it does absolutely beautifully just as well. For someone like myself, you and your craft have given Destiny a new light in which to continue forth through the pain, the gain and the fun. Knowing even the slightest reasons of how and why brings a sense of satisfaction through familiarity which, unfortunately, was never provided initially. Thank you kindly for your time and efforts. Your work is as appreciated as it is lauded.
Officially my favorite destiny account and lore reader/teller, youre voice and the way you describe the lore is beautiful and understandable you gave me goosebumps the last 10 seconds of the video and made me feel honored to choose exo as my main race, i love your lore series, and thank you for the time you give to make these videos for us! Keep on going strong!
I'm sorry but the PvP battle in the background was just so amazing that I needed to keep rewinding the video in order to hear everything about the Exo. If you are the person playing in that PvP battle with those pros good job to you sir! If not, I still salute you on providing such swell information about destiny ^^
Came back to watch this for both the nostalgia factor and to compare this to the new lore provided by beyond light. Gotta say that I’m surprised how consistent Bungie was with the EXOs lore. This video also still holds up really well, both the lore discussed and the delivery, quality, and style it’s presented in. Thanks Wallen!
I knw as soon as I watched your video on the Vault I needed to subscribe. I always thought the Deep Stone Crypt Titan Mark was cool, but never knew what it was for. Now I will get it for my level 31 Titan. He is, in fact, an Exo. Nice job, keep up the amazing Lore!
Gosh 5 years ago!!! I still remember the feeling of coming home from school and throwing my backpack down and playing destiny. Crucible for hours then some Pve. Then at bedtime watching your videos before school the next day
my idea is that the vex are super evolution's of humans that have a much, much better understanding of the science of space, time and reality and they go back in time and give their predecessor a human like machine known as the exo. My belief is that the vex gave us the first step to evolution to get to become the future of the vex. The vex we are fighting are rouge evolved humans that did not agree with the evolution's to become vex and are trying to stop us from becoming them and to see the big picture that the traveler is really the super power in control of all humans and want to eventually turn them into the vex as a super war based population. which is why the vex give us the exo because there under the travelers influence. the black garden and atheon are both leaders of two different rouge groups of vex that are trying to stop us from evolving into the vex. But sense the traveler is trying to turn us into the vex it makes us believe that the rouge groups of vex are really our enemies.
Josh L This is the origin of the Vex/ Exo. The faction FWC originated before the collapse. They were preparing themselves for the fall of civilization for Eons to come. The built a device that could allow someone to see visions of the future. They noticed that the darkness one most of the wars. They also figured out that humans would be destroyed soon after using the Device to look into the future. So they built the Exo. The robot would protect them from the Darkness and could use the device to look into the future. This device is the strangers rifle. This is why the stranger (who just so happens to be an exo) is able to travel in time. She knew bad things would happen so thats why she directed you to every planet and made you kill the black garden. But the vex are also capable of time travel. Im not sure but i think humans used the vex to build some expos and possibly the device.
Josh L Naww man the humans totally made the vex. They also built the vault of glass to completely separate themselves from the laws of time. Thats why the gorgons can kill you with a look. They simply un-write you from time.
I would love the ability to summon a Battle Frame (like we do with the Sparrows and Pikes) and have it fight along side you for a period of time. And throughout the game you could find different upgrades and emblems and designs to customize them with. that would be so badass.
Great video reading the grimoir cards really got me interested as in what was this ancient long forgotten war the exos fought and what are they exactly I hope in new instalments on the game we get an answer. Next when we get more info you should do a video on the exo stranger reading her card really got me thinking espocally when it says "Some believe she's the last of an ancient Exo squadron, fighting a long-forgotten war." I really want to find out her history who she was talking too who else out there is fighting the darkness that's not a guardian forged in the light and what knowledge can she/ they give us about our past I hope we get more into there story with the house of wolves I don't think we well but always hopeful. Either way thanks for the great content and keep it up love the videos.
I love every one of these.PLEASE PLEASE say your going to make more.After watching all these makes playing the game all that more interesting.Love the vids as much as i love the game. THANK YOU for these, makes the game all the better. Hear that Bungie.
can i just say thank you so much for doing these vid's, and taking the time to do them so excellently. i find them fascinating and so interesting, Bungie really missed a trick by not including this ingame, they must take you an age to do with how much detail you go into, and i very much appreciate your work, they make a brilliant game so much better, i love them and i love you sir!!! keep up the good work Wally you beautiful man you.
This video is not just a fantastic look at Destiny, but also a great philosophical look at what is human and what defines human. Great video, keep up the good work.
Hey Sir Wallen, I've watched a few of your vids now and I'm really enjoying them. The tone and structure of your videos are great. I saw Interstellar the other week, thought the music went nicely with your narration here. Some of the themes in Interstellar and that track go nicely with what we can find in the lore of Destiny - about humanity reaching out to the stars, to the universe. Exploring, learning, finding our limits and surpassing them. In this case, even creating other beings with sentience. Very nice video. Keep doing what you do.
I love your channel. You've done a great job with the lore on Destiny. Recommended this channel to others who enjoy this game. Keep up the good work! Cheers
Normally game lore such as this can get really deep and it can cause me to lose interest. However, you sir, kept me listening and pondering throughout this video and a few others that I have watched. You definitely brought some interesting thoughts to the table and I'm genuinely intrigued by the lore of Destiny now. I subscribed, and I'm really looking forward to listening more to your thoughts on various aspects of the game. Thank you!
IMO, it's the ability to ponder that makes us human. If a human's soul is the source of thier personality, then in essence, the soul is nothing more than the collection of memories that built a person's mindset. What separates humans from other beings is thier need think about things outside of a purely logical/survival-based instinct. We ask "why" even when it's not important. In that way, "dreaming" is the ultimate expression of that concept, a space whether the mind can do nothing but ponder in a space wholly created to be meaningless(as it doesn't exist outside one's mind and technically cannot directly affect anything). Because Exo's can dream, and more importantly, ponder those dreams, they are definitely "human" in my book. It's also the reason why Vex are decidely NOT Human, while the Cabal and Fallen are both basically non-Human "like" but on varying scales(the Cabal being much more like the Vex, the Fallen closer to Humans)
I think the Exos are the most interesting and fascinating things about Destiny, mainly because they make you ponder so deeply about what it is to be human.
there is this one piece of soldier accessory that has a description involving contact between a child and an exo. Sadly, I cannot remember the exact quote, something like the child asks if the exo's a big clock or something, and his response is ADORABLE!
Fucking love this channel. Actually makes the Lore very interesting, just by the way that you speak and project yourself. Also great use of the Interstellar soundtrack, actually created such a good atmosphere. Even on a video game. The power of Hans Zimmer.
I originally thought that the memory fragments you described from Grimoire card "GF:Exo 2" described a possible rebellion by the Exos against humanity. It would coincide with the Grimoire card "GF:Dark Age 1" statement that Exos appeared in refugee columns covered in "moss". This would imply that they were in storage some place. I thought as punishment for the rebellion they were deactivated, their memories wiped, and were buried.
A lot of people in the community would disagree, but I agree. The story isn't spoon fed to you, and while it isn't delivered in the best way. The content is still there.
This was really one done! Im so very curious about all the lore in Destiny and you cover it so well and help me understand. I just really hope that in the future Bungie will add in all this lore in their story mode, such an empty campaign but so much content around it. One can hope!! Kabr4lyf
music from interstellar? this series has been great so far keep it up. bungie has done a great job on a ever expanding universe, too bad a lot of the lore resides in the grimoire
+Sir Wallen - Lore Seeker what about the numbers that are a part of the exo vendors' names. Do they have any significance? I thought I read somewhere that they have something to do with how many times their memory has been wiped.
what if the exo are soldiers made to fight in the taken war? the one exo mention having his memory of people he knew wiped and barley remembers said people as the enemy.
as an Exo Hunter, every time i hear someone call me and my machine brothers war machines, i feel... strong, powerful, as if i know that it is in my nature to keep fighting for everyone on earth, regardless if they have organs and flesh instead of wires and metal. But on the other hand i feel like the fact that i was born to fight means that I am damnd to die in battle, as most guardians do. I am afraid that i will die with my fireteam due to my inability to stop fighting the darkness when it's time to retreat. I am afraid that I'll die without ever reaching the stone crypt and finding out my past. I suspect there will be something in the stone crypt that will restore the past of all Exos, as well as enhance us ALL to the point where we may be able to fight back against the darkness with a prowess unseen by humanity, but with a cost that may may be too much for our fragile society to handle, causing old hatreds and discriminations to arise. I also like to think that the stranger hails from there too, and is waiting for the day where Humanity is ready for what the crypts hold so that she may lead us to it's location.
It's mostly from i learned from you, the rest is knowledge i picked up from the cards or forums. I love just thinking about destiny lore, the different factions, the rivalries between each guardian class. All of it is so interesting to me, i cant stop thinking about it. Because of you I've been expanding my once simple thoughts into the theories that you see in the comments section. I'm always ready to learn more from you, as long as your willing to teach!
@Sir Wallen You should make an updated version of this video now that thanks to Cayde-6 and the grimoire cards we know that Exo's are created from humans and their memories of human life after becoming an Exo becomes like shuffled cards in a deck and forgotten over time. Unless like Cayde-6 they strive to remember which can hurt emotionally.
i feel like you take the grimore cards that ppl are too lazy to read and throw them into a pot, cook them with marinara sauce and noodles, and make these vids. genius! nice job m8!
Of all guardians EXO's are the most beautiful. Elegant thru out the unpredictable movements of battle. Precision, is written deep within their program. A true master of one thing and one thing only. Kill...
Maybe the deep stone crypt is on Mercury, similar structures, and it is where the Vex came from to get to Venus and it is their home. Even if they do not origionate from it.
Exos aren't all machine, they have emotions, they can eat/drink, they feel pain, and in the concept art and when you are about to die , they have blood, so they are part organic
Damn this is a deep episode. What's consciousness. What does it mean to be alive? I don't think we have souls. I think all our conscious is the sum of all metabolic activities. It gives me a reason to think, all we are is sentient beings, but we can make something out of this. It gives me a reason to be a monster. It gives me a reason to be a saint. It gives me a reason to be the person I am, and the mind I have the person I am to be.
No you are fine. I'm North Indian (so my skin is not dark at all more like iced coffee) I only speak English and I actually have quite an American Accent but I do like to satire Indian culture. And my name is an inside joke from an old friend
I love that this guy talks like he's a guardian, or city scholar who is actually doing these in the Destiny universe. It's really creative and fun.
Thrro Pones he read it from a grimoire card, they are written that way
***** Still he has a voice LIKE guardian. I know it's weird to say but think about it. If you got will smith to read it, I wouldn't see it the same way. If you got tyler walkins to read it I still wouldn't see it this. If you got Morgan freeman to do it, I still wouldn't say he sounds like a guardian. Maybe a narrator sure, but not like a guardian. This guys voice is perfect for reading it. But what truly does a guardian sounds like? What makes this one guys voice, even though he's reading it from the grimoire card, make it's so destiny-like? It's weird but at the same time warming and welcomed.
We all are guardians
Apollyon Leviathus it is because he isn't "famous", he is one of us a normal everyday person who lives on the same dot on the time line. Guardians were meant to be people who were just people that became re-forged in the light of the traveler. He sounds that way because he is just a normal person.
If I was a Guardian, I would have a very antagonistic relationship with my Ghost.
I play as an Exo, hunter class. I really liked the idea of a sentient AI on equal footing with humanity, not trying to destroy us like in so many SciFis involving AI, but instead they stand with us. That, and the idea that if I were to live to see the future, it would be to upload my consciousness into something else, something that wouldn't grow old and weak like living tissue eventually does.
Perhaps that's how Exo's were formed to begin with. :)
To answer this comment, that's basically exactly why the exos were created.
Although much less savory, you already know if you still play.
Exo = best dancemoves
I agree, #1 Dancers City
Yes😏
;)
junker154 yee
Did Bungie hire you yet? Because they should. You do so much to help make their game fun outside of the game. #bestinthebusiness
I fucking wish man.
Wally Wally I love your lore series on this, but is their any info on corta? Or is all the info going be given when the dlc is released? I haven't been one that read all of the gremoire cards that help with the lore as fillers, but do you know if there is any to define what type of hive is he?
I haven't gotten too much information on Crota yet, hopefully when I have the time in the future I can put together everything I have.
Wally Rasputin and the war-minds?
It is on the list, the main problem is that there is not enough information yet to do a full fledged video.
that was deep. all around beautiful.
Wyatt Swagson More like this all the time!
This guy is making one of the best "lore" series on youtube. From the depth of research, explanation and connection of VERY obscure parts of the universe, to the narration that makes it seem like I'm listening to an important and knowledgeable citizen of the Tower itself, it all makes for a very engaging experience for us Destiny fans. Awesome video series, great job here.
Exo are hands down my favoite race in Destiny! Not to mention The male Exo's voice is frigin awesome!
I hope that in the future they have a highly detailed exo story with us creating what our human form looked like before becoming a exo in a flashback while still keeping the mystery of our past life before the need to become a exo. Also the backstory of first exos being created sometime in 21st century posibly before the traveler came. Would be epic cutscenes of glimpses of our past each time we level up.
This unique content is rich because of your fine editing choices, the tempo of the musical score and the questions you raise in this thought provoking piece. Well deserved thumbs up.
Hell ya thank you man! I love putting some pretty sweet music in here too.
Jesus christ I just went on a super marathon here. Facinating stuff buried in the lore of Destiny. So many questions to ask, and so little answers. I'm subscribing to you because you make this lore so much clearer, pulling from not just grimoire cards but even in game items to help piece this grand story together. Keep it up man, this is all VERY much appreciated by a Warlock like me.
No worries! Welcome to the family!
The tower is the current tower, the people they kill are the corrupted persons who were taken by the darkness upon failing, the reaching of the tower is when they are first awoken from their death on battle, and their return in hopes to join the guardians.
Wow. Blown away by the detail and effort put into these reports. I wish more of this was in the actual game cut scenes!. Your work is greatly appreciated!
No problem, and I am right there with you, I wish there was in game cutscenes are just more information in general.
Sir Wallen,
Superb falls short of what you have undertaken and accomplished through these excellent videos. As much as this particular game is loathed for the many things it does in awkward fashion, and at times flat-out-wrong, as someone who appreciates the art of gaming, it is a game to be hailed for the few things it does absolutely beautifully just as well. For someone like myself, you and your craft have given Destiny a new light in which to continue forth through the pain, the gain and the fun. Knowing even the slightest reasons of how and why brings a sense of satisfaction through familiarity which, unfortunately, was never provided initially.
Thank you kindly for your time and efforts. Your work is as appreciated as it is lauded.
Tony Burgos No worries sir! I love this lore behind a lot of fantasy universes, and Destiny doesn't fall short of possibility.
these lore videos are my favorite, a big thankyou for making these for people like me who love destiny but are to lazy to read the grimoire
Officially my favorite destiny account and lore reader/teller, youre voice and the way you describe the lore is beautiful and understandable you gave me goosebumps the last 10 seconds of the video and made me feel honored to choose exo as my main race, i love your lore series, and thank you for the time you give to make these videos for us! Keep on going strong!
The Exo are one of life's greatest mysteries. Heavily encrypted, even to themselves.
I'm sorry but the PvP battle in the background was just so amazing that I needed to keep rewinding the video in order to hear everything about the Exo. If you are the person playing in that PvP battle with those pros good job to you sir! If not, I still salute you on providing such swell information about destiny ^^
Going to spread your videos around for sure, you deserve more views. This is the depth the games lore needed, well done Mr. Wally!
Thank you very much!
Love the album in the background. Very fitting.
Came back to watch this for both the nostalgia factor and to compare this to the new lore provided by beyond light. Gotta say that I’m surprised how consistent Bungie was with the EXOs lore. This video also still holds up really well, both the lore discussed and the delivery, quality, and style it’s presented in. Thanks Wallen!
This was so deep man omg, especially with the interstellar music it really was so deep to think about A.I and consciousness like that
When you said “may they never perish” thx because I’m an exo. It’s nice to see that the humans and awoken appreciate us.
I am absolutely loving your lore videos man. Keep it up!
Hell ya man! I will do what I can.
one of your best! this is actually my new favourite channel. you are a good story teller
Welcome to the family!
Nice use of interstellar music
jennuel libutan Great movie, great soundtrack.
+jennuel libutan i know
+Barbara Godsey i know ha
I love his videos he takes an already great game and gives it thousands of more layers that make it all that better
I knw as soon as I watched your video on the Vault I needed to subscribe. I always thought the Deep Stone Crypt Titan Mark was cool, but never knew what it was for. Now I will get it for my level 31 Titan. He is, in fact, an Exo. Nice job, keep up the amazing Lore!

Hahaha, it's been a damn long time which is crazy to think about, glad you are still around!
This is the first channel I've ever subscribed to! Thanks for making these great videos, I look forward to your future work!
No problem, thank you for being here with us!
+Henry Guckes It is the Vanquisher from a new monarchy package, not the vendor version.
my idea is that the vex are super evolution's of humans that have a much, much better understanding of the science of space, time and reality and they go back in time and give their predecessor a human like machine known as the exo. My belief is that the vex gave us the first step to evolution to get to become the future of the vex. The vex we are fighting are rouge evolved humans that did not agree with the evolution's to become vex and are trying to stop us from becoming them and to see the big picture that the traveler is really the super power in control of all humans and want to eventually turn them into the vex as a super war based population. which is why the vex give us the exo because there under the travelers influence. the black garden and atheon are both leaders of two different rouge groups of vex that are trying to stop us from evolving into the vex.

This is was soo great you voice and commentary was just sooo thought provoking I need a min to think
Take your time, I have here!
I would love the ability to summon a Battle Frame (like we do with the Sparrows and Pikes) and have it fight along side you for a period of time.
And throughout the game you could find different upgrades and emblems and designs to customize them with.
that would be so badass.
Jayman493 that is a really good idea
Great video reading the grimoir cards really got me interested as in what was this ancient long forgotten war the exos fought and what are they exactly I hope in new instalments on the game we get an answer.

Either way thanks for the great content and keep it up love the videos.
Great video, I'm really enjoying this series
Thank you your the first destiny lore you tuber whos voice I don’t feel like falling asleep to. Thanks 🙏
I love every one of these.PLEASE PLEASE say your going to make more.After watching all these makes playing the game all that more interesting.Love the vids as much as i love the game. THANK YOU for these, makes the game all the better. Hear that Bungie.
can i just say thank you so much for doing these vid's, and taking the time to do them so excellently. i find them fascinating and so interesting, Bungie really missed a trick by not including this ingame, they must take you an age to do with how much detail you go into, and i very much appreciate your work, they make a brilliant game so much better, i love them and i love you sir!!! keep up the good work Wally you beautiful man you.
That has to be one of the nicest comments I have recieved yet, I will continue to deliver this and I enjoy the hell out of making them.
You just made this game much more interesting. I made a Exo Titan but I haven't played in 2 weeks.
You just hype me to play again.
Love your videos, keep up the good work and I look forward to many more!
That ending was just perfect. Awesome job :)
Great video, stumbled upon this to help gain insight on the Exo for a fan fiction on trying to write.
That was deep, well thought out and completely nuts. But seriously, for the first one of your videos I've watched that was awesome :)
Great series keep it up Man!
This video is not just a fantastic look at Destiny, but also a great philosophical look at what is human and what defines human. Great video, keep up the good work.
Thank you very much, I love the way the Exo's were laid out in the lore.
Hey Sir Wallen, I've watched a few of your vids now and I'm really enjoying them. The tone and structure of your videos are great.
I saw Interstellar the other week, thought the music went nicely with your narration here. Some of the themes in Interstellar and that track go nicely with what we can find in the lore of Destiny - about humanity reaching out to the stars, to the universe. Exploring, learning, finding our limits and surpassing them. In this case, even creating other beings with sentience.
Very nice video. Keep doing what you do.
Sleeper919 Thank you sir, I will try my bestest.
I love your channel. You've done a great job with the lore on Destiny. Recommended this channel to others who enjoy this game.
Keep up the good work!
Cheers
I just started an exo character in D2 and that last part made me feel warm inside.
Normally game lore such as this can get really deep and it can cause me to lose interest. However, you sir, kept me listening and pondering throughout this video and a few others that I have watched. You definitely brought some interesting thoughts to the table and I'm genuinely intrigued by the lore of Destiny now. I subscribed, and I'm really looking forward to listening more to your thoughts on various aspects of the game. Thank you!
Sir Wallen, i love how you tell the lore. So epic.
I am hungry for the lore. Subscribed and am loving how you tell the lore. It's freaking epic.
Welcome to the family!
I love watching your videos! This makes the story so much more enjoyable. Especially for me, just a warlock. Thank you
Michael Wajszczuk Thank you sir!
IMO, it's the ability to ponder that makes us human. If a human's soul is the source of thier personality, then in essence, the soul is nothing more than the collection of memories that built a person's mindset.

i watched like all you're lore videos today. you sir, have earned a subscriber
Welcome to the family!
Omg my Sunday is complete thnx Wally great work
No worries thank you for being here.
You are a brilliant speaker, I thoroughly enjoy your lore videos. You kinda sound like Mathew mcconnahey haha! Great videos man
I think the Exos are the most interesting and fascinating things about Destiny, mainly because they make you ponder so deeply about what it is to be human.
there is this one piece of soldier accessory that has a description involving contact between a child and an exo. Sadly, I cannot remember the exact quote, something like the child asks if the exo's a big clock or something, and his response is ADORABLE!
Your videos are remarkably well written
Loved the video! I watched probably 8 or 9 with a bowl of popcorn. Keep up the awesome videos!
Hell ya man, you enjoy that popcorn!
Fucking love this channel. Actually makes the Lore very interesting, just by the way that you speak and project yourself.
Also great use of the Interstellar soundtrack, actually created such a good atmosphere. Even on a video game. The power of Hans Zimmer.
Simply awesome, keep it up with these great vids. I wonder, will you do a piece on Crota once the first DLC is out?
Yes, if there is enough information out on it, I will do a report on Crota.
Sir Wallen - Lore Seeker i love your role-playing it sounds so believable
This report is really deep and makes you really think about everything in reality.
I originally thought that the memory fragments you described from Grimoire card "GF:Exo 2" described a possible rebellion by the Exos against humanity. It would coincide with the Grimoire card "GF:Dark Age 1" statement that Exos appeared in refugee columns covered in "moss". This would imply that they were in storage some place. I thought as punishment for the rebellion they were deactivated, their memories wiped, and were buried.
It could be very true, if the exos follow the typical, rebel against man model a lot of machine races follow. Honestly though, I just don't know.
Sir Wallen - Lore Seeker They give you just enough to speculate, don't they? Probably one of the best features of the game I think.
A lot of people in the community would disagree, but I agree. The story isn't spoon fed to you, and while it isn't delivered in the best way. The content is still there.
Another great lore Wally!
Thank you very much!
This was really one done! Im so very curious about all the lore in Destiny and you cover it so well and help me understand. I just really hope that in the future Bungie will add in all this lore in their story mode, such an empty campaign but so much content around it. One can hope!! Kabr4lyf
This was utterly beautiful
Keep up the good work! I shall continue to issue you new information as it arrives.
Thank you for that, I enjoy and appreciate the information you send me.
Great Story telling man. Excellent work.
Favourite one, I don't even know why, but you did this hella well
JackaWilko Thank you very much!
That ending gave me goosebumps
interstellar background music, I love it. Great show!
Huh... If only this was ACTUALLY IN THE FUCKING GAME!
music from interstellar? this series has been great so far keep it up. bungie has done a great job on a ever expanding universe, too bad a lot of the lore resides in the grimoire
If they are Robots, Then how are there Male and Female ones?
Master Chief one has a plug and the other a socket
@@camdensedmilk haha haha
+Sir Wallen - Lore Seeker what about the numbers that are a part of the exo vendors' names. Do they have any significance? I thought I read somewhere that they have something to do with how many times their memory has been wiped.
what if the exo are soldiers made to fight in the taken war?
the one exo mention having his memory of people he knew wiped and barley remembers said people as the enemy.
a great video, one of my all time favourites. A shame this channel lost traction. Wally was such a good speaker and writer.
ILY
I love your background music. Interstellar soundtrack was money!
I choose the exo class for all my characters and will for destiny 2
same,brother same
the music makes it all the more awesome
as an Exo Hunter, every time i hear someone call me and my machine brothers war machines, i feel... strong, powerful, as if i know that it is in my nature to keep fighting for everyone on earth, regardless if they have organs and flesh instead of wires and metal. But on the other hand i feel like the fact that i was born to fight means that I am damnd to die in battle, as most guardians do. I am afraid that i will die with my fireteam due to my inability to stop fighting the darkness when it's time to retreat. I am afraid that I'll die without ever reaching the stone crypt and finding out my past. I suspect there will be something in the stone crypt that will restore the past of all Exos, as well as enhance us ALL to the point where we may be able to fight back against the darkness with a prowess unseen by humanity, but with a cost that may may be too much for our fragile society to handle, causing old hatreds and discriminations to arise. I also like to think that the stranger hails from there too, and is waiting for the day where Humanity is ready for what the crypts hold so that she may lead us to it's location.
Fucking awesome man, Great freaking lore pulls here.
It's mostly from i learned from you, the rest is knowledge i picked up from the cards or forums. I love just thinking about destiny lore, the different factions, the rivalries between each guardian class. All of it is so interesting to me, i cant stop thinking about it. Because of you I've been expanding my once simple thoughts into the theories that you see in the comments section. I'm always ready to learn more from you, as long as your willing to teach!
Well I'm all about attempting to make the game more impactful but I can't do that without the help, I just enjoy this game.
The tower on the titan mark of the Deep Stone Crypt reminds me of Dr Frankenstein's laboratory.
Woot woot! Loving these vids!
Thank you man!
@Sir Wallen
You should make an updated version of this video now that thanks to Cayde-6 and the grimoire cards we know that Exo's are created from humans and their memories of human life after becoming an Exo becomes like shuffled cards in a deck and forgotten over time. Unless like Cayde-6 they strive to remember which can hurt emotionally.
Coolest video I've watched all day! I tip my gear-cog hat to you sir!
i feel like you take the grimore cards that ppl are too lazy to read and throw them into a pot, cook them with marinara sauce and noodles, and make these vids. genius! nice job m8!
background music is from the ending of intersteler movie
Your videos are amazing, and you deserve every sub. That music was a perfect choice. It's from interstellar right?
Of all guardians EXO's are the most beautiful. Elegant thru out the unpredictable movements of battle. Precision, is written deep within their program. A true master of one thing and one thing only. Kill...
Hell yes. Good lore, as always. Never seen Interstellar though.
Neither have I, but the music sounded sweet.
I KNEW I RECOGNIZED THAT MUSIC! Go see Interstellar... such an amazing movie!
Does look good, that is very true.
Maybe the deep stone crypt is on Mercury, similar structures, and it is where the Vex came from to get to Venus and it is their home. Even if they do not origionate from it.
Holly shit dude that last thing you said was amazing I don't know what to say
Script HYPE!
Maybe even do a lore series on the three guardian classes, which is often looked over.
It is on the list without any doubts, the problem is, some of these videos don't have enough information to be covered in a full video.
Aye, and its funny I say this and the same day the exos and awoken come out. Foolish me.
Don't worry about it, I tackle things in a pretty odd order. I have a list, but honestly, I just hit whatever seems most interesting at the time.
Great choice of music!
Exos aren't all machine, they have emotions, they can eat/drink, they feel pain, and in the concept art and when you are about to die , they have blood, so they are part organic
Would be awesome if Bungie included the awesome lore in the actual game.
Damn this is a deep episode. What's consciousness. What does it mean to be alive?
I don't think we have souls. I think all our conscious is the sum of all metabolic activities. It gives me a reason to think, all we are is sentient beings, but we can make something out of this.
It gives me a reason to be a monster. It gives me a reason to be a saint. It gives me a reason to be the person I am, and the mind I have the person I am to be.
BoxOfCurryos is it bad that i read this in my head with an indian accent because of you're picture? you make a good point but it was really funny.
No you are fine. I'm North Indian (so my skin is not dark at all more like iced coffee) I only speak English and I actually have quite an American Accent but I do like to satire Indian culture. And my name is an inside joke from an old friend
Sir Wallen i was watching a destiny video where they found dragons on Venus, however they also found a tower. Could this be where the exos were made?
Great vid Wally! Were you planning on doing separate episodes for each of the Guardian factions? Titans, Warlocks and Hunters?
Most likely, I'm not 100% where the next video will take me. Sort of just happen.
