On another note, are the Fallen Dregs growing new arms? The small canister tanks below each armpit might be evidence.

Woah, I didn't notice the canisters/arm stubs. Either that, or they're a "lower" form of Fallen who never fully developed the extra set.

My guesses: if they aren't a lower form of Fallen like you said, maybe these are the females, or, what I think is a cooler idea, they are some sort of shamed Fallen who have had their two arms removed and are forced to fight on the front-lines as cannon fodder. Maybe their form of shame is to be condemned to die looking like a human, ie, with two arms instead of four.

Yeah, I think your "shamed" theory could work with their description:

These relentless thieves seem driven by desperation and rage.

Especially the "human part", in relation to Fallen Captains:

There is this sense of tattered nobility to them. You can see it in the way they carry themselves. They think they're better than us. They believe that Earth belongs to them.

So, yeah, I really hope you're right and that they were forced to have their arms cut off as retribution (either through being a lower class, or because they stole from a higher class), desperate because they're cannon fodder, and angry because they're been reduced to canon fodder/four armed losers.

...or to go with the whole "alien pirate" thing The Fallen have, they only have two arms because those stubs are sockets for robo-arms/Space Pegs, and they were drafted because they needed more thieves on the USS Scurvy Dog!

but really yours sounds cooler and i hope that's similar to whatever the in-universe explanation is instead of some lame "oh we needed fallen without four arms" cop-out

I also find it interesting that, so far, every enemy looks dangerous. No Grunts to be found in Destiny, yet.

On a side note, if Destiny doesn't have wildlife roaming the planets I will e fairly disappointed.

From these images alone, I'm fairly certain I've fallen completely in love with the character designs and art style. Dear God, Bungie... the color, detail, and texture of each model is simply astounding. *swoons*

… is this Hunter wearing? And is that a bullet hole exiting out the back of the eye socket? Also note the spine(?) used as armor on the same arm. This Hunter's got style!

I updated your image so that it links to the high-res version on Bungie.net. Can see a little more detail there. And I'm going with a Fallen skull; you can see where the "horns" have been lopped off.

Anyone else notice these?

I'm thinking written language, since they're all different.

Interesting, I thought the top image was part of the preorder poster, but apparently not! They've had a decal of the bottom image for sale, though.

Yeah, those are some fun ones fo sho.

Oh, should probably include what we've seen in Bungie games before (lulz). Like equipment in Halo 3 and armor mods in Reach.

So, wait, if the Traveler is protecting Earth... DESTINY: ARMOR LOCK'S REVENGE?

Good lord, no.

I hope there will be variants within each class, like (for Warlock) offensive, defensive, healing, buffing...hell, even softer stuff like 'academic' which might allow for better decryption of ancient or alien data...or whatever.

I also hope for tree/build "differentiation" or "separation" that makes build choices important and difficult (but not impossible) to cross-specialize. Give my build choices gravity and inertia.

Really, I just want the implementation to be as deep as can be.

I am ALL about the warlock, baby

Me too. After all, I've played a Titan since 2001. Well, and maybe a little Hunter in ODST. I want to try a little complimentary/support game-play in a FPS.

I hope it works well. And that I look cool, of course.

Do 'em right, and you can murder away as good as any of those meathead soldier types. ;)

I wonder what kind of powers we're going to see in Destiny - or if that's even the right way to think of it. Something Borderlands? Bioshock? Mass Effect? Syndicate? Deus Ex:HR? Other games I've not played? How will they work together? Will you be committing to a role/playstyle based on the character, or will that depend on how you build the character?

I'm really hoping for Bioshock-esque powers, those powers made me giggle and laugh maniacally, which is a feeling I'd like in Destiny.

The Traveler is what sparked the Golden Age. Huh, odd, I was under the impression the Traveler only showed up while we were getting stomped.

Maybe whatever tried to destroy us came in pursuit of the Traveler.

i did it i did it i brought all this here all them here. our
friends with three eyes and their toys and their cyborg pets
and their computers. i did it i did it. i saw them i saw
them far away not looking our way and i called them here i
called them here.

Curiouser and curiouser. You make an interesting point. (And here's a link if anyone is confused...)

While I think we're supposed to take the Traveler's benevolence at face value for now, there is almost certainly more behind the scenes. We have no idea how big this story will be and I'm more and more excited to explore it with each passing day!
