In the manner of a single cutscene*

id argue crota beat our asses pretty bad too

​@@fallen5983keep in mind the hive bow the knee to the witness

@@fallen5983 Well, not US specifically

​@@fallen5983That's a very fair point. Crota kicked the Guardians where it hurt in The Great Disaster. He's probably responsible for the most direct Guardian deaths in my understanding. I guess my point is the Witness hit us HARD and FAST. As I said, it destroyed us within a single cutscene, and also ripped apart the Vanguard from within within 3 hours in-lore time (keep in mind that The Final Shape campaign was maybe only a day or a day and a half).

Cause he’s done with playing games and being nice.

That's because the Witness *thinks* it has won, so it has that sense of confidence in what is says, and all it has to do is persuade the lightbearers that it's ideology is right

THAT'S SUCH AN INTERESTING CATCH! I was always suspicious as to its manipulation tactics, and how we could pinpoint what it really thinks! I'll definitely be looking over all these lines closer because that's a WILD find

The Witness is itself a veil, a cage, a box/cube/triangle/sphere/cylinder containing the masses within who 2/3rds of DID NOT want to become Witness. Most of their dialogue can be recontextualized to be almost reflective of the First Knife / Witness proper. Witness had always been able to kill us; they just preferred to be objective-oriented. Why else did they skip everything and everyone along their narrow path? To that end, if given enough delays and encouragement, the Dissenters could have found a way. Even now that the Witness has been unwoven, they will take on numerous new shapes, and multiples of it will exist, exhibiting new and opposing agendas, emulating the tale of three kingdoms ruled by queens.

The actor is Brett Dalton (also played in Agents of SHIELD and Until Dawn)! Bungie's sound team did an excellent job editing his voice to make it sound like multiple different voices! Also thank you for this explanation, I thought the Witness's voice sounded hypnotizing, but I didn't realize it was an actual method used in hypnosis! Very clever. UPDATE: Oh I just remembered, in one of the physical lorebooks (Chronicles, I think) the lore does actually mention the Witness corrupting Dark Timeline Ana Bray, specifically using the phrase "hypnotizing its way into [her] mind" to lull her into a trance-like state, so the Witness using hypnosis is canon.

That’s what happens when the expansion is well written.

I think it's the eyes. They look human, but not.

HE SAID WHAT??!!!

bro after like 11 hours of dealing with error codes and being insanely tired, when my 2 buddies and i heard this we all died laughing

​@@FAUXCUSpd same bro it was like 3am and i had to hold back sm laughter

Brett Dalton did very well

Nah that's straight up impossible

@@JosiahKeesling-qj2ef I don't think so, there's plenty of videos showcasing just the SFX, removing the music and dialogue from them. I don't see why they cant just remover everything else and keep the dialogue.

you could try AI separating the stems
