Okay this is all explained already so dont say "Or maybe the Traveller is the one who resurrected and gave these Guardians their power."

Its known exactly how the dead are ressurected. The ghosts, which were created by the traveler as it died, sought out and ressurected the dead to create the guardians.

Problems with this.

1. New playable races cannot be added. 2. they will eventually run out of dead people with these special super powers. 3. they cannot leave the solar system lest they run out of guardians because this is where their magic dead are. 4. you do not play as an ordinary human and thus you have no emotional connection to the city. 5. because of this no Guardian has any backstory, thus severely limiting the story telling potential.

This isnt about "taking back whats ours" anymore, this is about making some other guys do it for us... The only way I wouldf ind this even remotely acceptable is if only a few guardians are resurrected dead (thus making the ghosts more unique amongst the guardians) and not every single one of them.... that some people are born with the light of the traveler or are artificially imbued with the power.

"You're saying that the resurrected are definately created by humans and can do everything a regular human can do."

Also... I never said any of that... I am criticizing this on a writing level, I am not criticizing a plot hole... I am criticizing the people who made this game for writing an ungodly stupid plot point that severely limits the story telling potential of their universe.

They wanted to create a vast growing science fiction universe, they created one with a plot point that will choke the life out of it in three years unless they retcon it into oblivion.
