For the longest time after launch (like a few weeks till I couldn't take not getting black gear, shaders, etc) I held out from declaring allegiance to any faction. Thought I couldn't philosophically align 100% with just any [i]one[/i] of them lol. Also was dumb and reticent about some of the exotic gear from Xûr cause I was afraid there might be real in-game implications down the road for succumbing to gear that could be influenced by the darkness! Finally caved, bought and donned an Achlyophage Symbiote! WAAAYYY overthought too much!
