Destiny 2’s Act 3 Ending: A Heartfelt Goodbye or an Anticlimactic Moment?
The discussion initiated by Reddit user sesonumba1 encourages us to delve deeper into Oryx’s character, particularly during his final moments. Unlike a typical villain, Oryx is portrayed as multi-faceted and complex, grappling with his mistakes and submitting to his fate with a solemn yet deep acceptance. A player even mentioned his poignant last words: “At least the stars will remember the shape I gave them,” which subtly suggests his desire for enduring significance despite his tyrannical rule. This aspect is significant as it gives Oryx a human touch, enabling players to empathize, even if they’ve never held god-like power over darkness. Many believe that Oryx’s acceptance of his demise intensifies the emotional impact of the narrative. What makes this unique is the exploration of mortality in a universe where such concepts are seldom touched upon by Bungie.
