I’ve been thinking a lot about this the past few days, having completely uninstalled D2 shortly after playing through the terrible Warmind campaign.

What strikes me most about the whole “Cayde is dead” thing is that it seems like doubling down on “he’s 100% absolutely dead for good and forever” months before Forsaken Read more

My guess is that Nathan Fillion didn’t want to be associated with Destiny anymore after his contract ran out given all the negativity surrounding him, so they off’d Cayde as a logical plot hook.

Thing is, getting rid of one of the few worthwhile NPCs with as much background in Bungie isn’t going to pull back the people Read more

I don’t know how to feel about that trailer. A friend of mine freaked out over it and after seeing it, I just thought...okay... Read more

I’m leaning towards Nathan Fillion being too expensive for them now which is kind of a joke if the guy loses his job for being too good at it. I’m pretty sure Cayde-6 will return as Cayde-7 but instead will be a female exo. Read more

I appreciate the character and I am a fan of Nathan Fillion, but I have to admit that I was getting tired of his jokes. They aren’t 1-note, but there isn’t a lot to the joke bag-of-tricks for the character. Read more

Dude... he first shot his GHOST. There is no coming back from that.

Damn, I’m pissed off. He holstering Cayde’s hand-cannon was what got me incredibly mad. I’m going to take that back by smashing his arm off with my new Titan solar warhammer. Maybe I’ll give it to Ashen Mir so he can enjoy a new arm...who knows?

doubt hes dead for good. theyll prolly take the body to the traveler and let it do its magic. and if he is dead for good, well then lets see where the story goes. or maybe nathans contract ended for cayde? Read more

I don’t believe he is forever dead. Why would they spoil something like that in a trailer? Also, why kill your most interesting character...unless Fillion just doesn’t want to do it anymore. Read more
