I Just Noticed, in Ishtar Academy... [Hey, Look - No Hands! Thread]
So, the mission, "The Archive" - when you have to go into the Ishtar academy to secure data and Grayliks infiltrates, leading to a fight.
You pass some skeletons when you initially enter the doors - the ones locked with the Radial A encryption, remember?
Well, years of Fallout have taught me to pay attention to the objects, particularly skeletons, that are placed in a scene, because they often tell a story. The particular story here I wasn't sure about - there are some skeletons strewn about, one looks like the decedent was sitting at the time, another couple are entwined on the floor, another lies clean, facing upward to the ceiling.
I figured they might be research crew or engineers or some such, locked in there when The Golden Age collapsed suddenly around them.
But then I noticed [i]none of them have hands or feet[/i].
That would paint a far more grisly picture, but I'm having trouble putting together a plausible narrative. If the archive were infiltrated, why not just kill them? Clearly they had time to themselves after being maimed, left to bleed out. It's unlikely they did this to themselves, since one would expect a tool nearby and at least one hand among them.
Or, ya know, someone was a little sloppy with the geometry assets and just forgot to toss some hands and feet in there. But I like to think this was intentional.
Any ideas?

5 RepliesFallout. Skeleton hands and feet. 2 hands and 2 feet on a person. 2•2=4 4 letters in "Fall" The next Fallout should be Fallout 4. Fallout 4 confirmed?
-
The hands and feet were the first extremities to deteriorate from the body and scattered by rodents that feasted upon them.
-
Or maybe they were locked in there and started to starve to death and had to eat their own hands and feef before finally giving up and dying.
-
None of the skeletons on Hive controlled areas have them either. ...and the Thrall clearly EAT them.

2 Repliesbungie just made the game without really thinking about it. that's why all the interiors are nothing more than long hallways. from the first time i saw the bone piles all over the game it made me laugh. every pair of femurs equals one person. there are at least a million dead people just on the moon.

1 ReplyI mentioned this in the forums a few weeks after launch. It is very noticeable once you look for it. [i]None[/i] of the skeletons in the game have hands or feet. While it is true that these bones are in the main very small and could easily have been scattered, it doesn't explain why the skeletons are completely intact otherwise.
-
read the 3 vex dead ghost cards, the couple sitting together is missing link.
-
6 RepliesYeah, I've started looking at all the skeletons I find on any planet and I try to figure out how they died. Weirdest ones are on Earth. They all died sitting in chairs. And peacefully, by the looks of it.

The warminds wiped out most of humanity to preserve us. Many humans and Exo's reawaken to a second life as guardians, born in light, you are given the abilities of a guardian.

60 RepliesThe hands and feet will be included in the next dlc..

Read the cards for the vex. One of those sets of bones was likely dr shim.
-
2 RepliesHands and feet are PS4 exclusive content
-
It could be the group of scientists mentioned in the grimoire that were researching the vex and got all paranoid.... But then again, some artists struggle with hands and feet. I feel like this is more plausible.

1 ReplyHaven't you people learned? Stop noticing things... You aren't playing the game the way it was intended.
-
Bungie didn't finish graphics....

I imagine it might have been an exo, If you pay close attention to the rails in the archive you'll see it's been broken like something threw itself through them, like a heavy exo, or at least a frame who out of mercy sacrificed the nerds to the blood gods in order to appease the emperor.
-
I do believe that the cutting of f of hands served ritualistic purposes in some cultures, and in some cases, like Babylon, were a punishment. Could the Fallen or Hive be doing this to appease their gods? Or something?
-
1 ReplyYour hands and feet are made up of a series of tiny bones, these bones completely decayed or simply fell apart to become unrecognizable as hands or feet. My theory.
-
2 RepliesSpeaking of which, has any one notice the dead astronaut lying to the left of the zone A entrance on First Light
-
The bones of the hands and feet are the smallest in the body, and are often the first to vanish as a skeleton is exposed to the elements. It's probably just a sign the skeletons are old.

Edited by Artorias: 2/17/2015 5:48:40 PMHmmmm...I doubt they were tortured. The Fallen were trying to break in remember? That would mean that those doors hadn't been opened for decades. Those guys were probably a research crew that opted to stay behind and finish off some data destruction or something. Why do they have no hands or feet? Well...a 3D model that was gimped to reduce polygon count more than likely. Either that or they all went crazy and one of them cut off the hands and feet of his fellow researchers and left them to die, then did it to himself. Now that I think about it, how the f*ck did Grayliks get in there and come out the door that he does? There was only one entrance...maybe they did the cralling around vents shit from the first level that was supposed to happen throughout the whole game...
