@@reynal_omnicide9217 The first time I met a minotaur it scared the shit out of me.

I had to take a minute after I killed it to compose myself.

It’s even scarier when you realize the Vex aren’t the actual robot frames, but the Radiolarian Microorganisms contained within the frames, _and_ that they are basically one giant consciousness.

[@Blink_Salt]

you could say that they are the... "hive". hehe

[@Al-cf9qi]

In a nutshell: they are murderous space robots filled with living milk

[@AxisChurchDevotee]

Not true as there are multiple divisions of Vex like the Sol Divisive who are actually hostile to other Vex so they aren't all a hive mind.

[@jorgemigueltavares6041]

[@koldraxonofthefirstseven5718]

They ain't robots. The white fluid within them is actually their brain, or, rather, the Vex itself. The mechanical forms are, to the Vex, vehicles, starships, mechs. Every million Vex summarizes one Vex consciousness, meaning we haven't really done any harm to them... ...But when Oryx tried to take the Vault? The Vex knew we were the only solution. They let us in to rid them of the Taken.

[@G-Soul]

True dat. If they didn't have a form of 'life' then they will be unable to be taken by Oryx's power.

Destiny did an excellent job tying familiar themes together throughout the game creating moods capturing the situation.

[@nerf4ever95]

"As I stepped into the decaying library, my motion tracker began going haywire, detecting movement all around. Ghost pointed it out as well, peaking curiosity and nerves. the large conflux in front of me shimmered as Ghost went ahead to inspect it. My hunter's reflex kicked in as I felt the air turn to static. At the same time, Ghost said "No no no! It's the Vex, better find some cover!" As he said it, eight odd machines appeared in front of me. Glowing red eyes and shimmering cores greeted me, as well as a barrage of gunfire. I wondered as began cutting them down "Is this what that transmission was? A trap? or a test?"

Favorite destiny theme to this day. I'll miss you d1.

[@davidsterling7570]

I don't know what Destiny looked like before the changeups but even having a level that's just a hallway playing this music was pretty solid.

[@HollinHexen]

My favorite Sci fi creature race that bends your logic. Imagine that they taken over a neutron star where they could turn that into any exotic material they want since they are a liquid race that always eats energy to run their simulations. Then being able to bleed through space-time like water going through the cracks within stone establishing junctions and nexus teleporting through time just to turn the universe in a machine to rival the end of time. An evil that cuts so deep it despises other evil.

[@AxisChurchDevotee]

Last part makes no sense as the Vex don't have any morality due to they're alien nature. Strangers talk of despising other evil doesn't match up with current lore especially with the witness and it's disciples being the big bads.

[@eternallysenseless8957]

The theme songs for the other species are very dynamic. The fact that the one for the Vex is a lot more calm is what gets me worried.

[@Amaroq64]

It was so amazing seeing the Vex for the first time. The way they dropped down, and then stalled before falling the rest of the way, made me think the other side of the time portal is in some Vex factory and it's lowering them through the portal with robotic mechanisms or something. EDIT: I could've sworn they do that, but in other videos I find, they don't.

[@Lava91point0]

Bare in mind they're all part of a collective, a liquid state intelligent matter. So yeah when they assume machine forms, a larger "mind" unit controls them. I recall ghost explaining something similar, 1million units to a mind. I always had this idea that the true source, the most powerful would be known as something like the Emperor mind or the Supreme mind, like Quria. And i envisioned this insanely vast command palace, utterly swarming with dozens of hydras protecting it. Probably because it's similar to the doctor who episode where they meet the emperor Dalek 😂😂😂

[@anothermetaphor7586]

4 years late, but you're not wrong. In the watery depths of the pyramidion these machines are grown from the gestation lakes, and sent through the void to appear before us. Have you ever noticed how (at least in D1), whenever vex appear they appear with a raincloud?

[@LowKeyJaded]

[@ShawndaPrawn]

And to think, the Vex aren’t actually robots, but microscopic organisms living in radiolarian fluid. Or maybe the radiolarian itself is a sentient liquid? (Like some forms of Phazon or Immulsion?) either way, the robots themselves are just vehicles to them.

[@majcorpsie5345]

@@AlphynKing But there's a lot of Vex tracks in D2 that they could've picked as well, so it's weird that they'd pick one from D1.

[@AlphynKing]

MajCorpsie Well the Season of Undying trailer was mostly an updated version of a leaked cutscene from way back in D1, so it kind of makes sense that they’d use D1-based music. Also it fits the best because, yes there are other Vex themes in D2, but this is the original, the one that bears their name.

And what if the vex are responsible for the way everything is now ? And by that i mean the gaurdians and all the good things that have happened.

[@umcaraqualquer3640]

JJPL4YZ I don't think so At least they aren't with "The Darkness"

[@pan4854]

JJPL4YZ Maybe. That's like the origin of the Fallen atleast. Once, they were a noble race. Once upon a time, the Great Machine sided with them. They too had their own Golden Age. Reasons that can only be spectated upon, the Great Machine parted ways. After the Great Machine parted ways, they faced a harsh event called the "Whirl-Wind". An event so tragic that they might as well have lost everything. They ended up having a civil war within their torn up civilization. They ended up making peace and together, they wandered across the vastness of space hoping to "meet" the Great Machine once more.

[@morethanrei]

The vex cannot simulate the light, therefore they attempt to study it rather than destroy it. Their ultimate goal is to transform the universe into a simulation where they are essentially God

[@tahmurashotami8464]

JJ the vex cant just wipe all humans and guardians because vex are more focused on things that makes them a perfect future. Like panoptes the infinite mind in destiny 2 wanted to destroy light and darkness so there will be only existance of the vex
