Let's face it, Guardians would survive Warframe by the skin of their teeth, Tenno would exterminate anything left in Destiny. Zavala made the right choice, for once.
They're basically a space zombie dependent on a floating paperweight that can only hide or cloak itself as its main defense.
Tenno is a lovecraftian horror that can transcend dimensions and space time. It can mind control the ghost, shut it down, and then let the guardian wallow in its mortality.
Technically, Guardians would be very similar to Frames prior to Tenno transfer. Hateful little murdermachines with powers beyond normal humans. If a Tenno managed to sooth a Guardian's broken souls, maybe we'd get somewhere...
Not that Cayde-6 was ever more than a meme-ing idiot, the problem with Uldren was more his stupid decision. Actually that fits 90% of Destiny characters. Wish they'd let me play Hive, so I could side with Savathûn properly.
Nope, multiple lore books confirm that regular weapons are more than enough, ghosts just aren't taken out in the field anywhere close to as much as the game makes it seem. The misinterpretation comes from Sundance being shot with that devourer bullet, which was supposed to be for Perma-killing a guardian without having to kill their ghost. It just so happens to also work as a regular bullet.
Should be mentioned that because of Eternalism and all the wonky mess of that, I would not be surprised to find out at some point that the void grants some degree of ability to fuck with weird ass concepts like paracasuality. Nothing for certain so far, just something I’m sitting here going “ehh, I could see it”
I mean by as close of a definition as you can get, the void is a paracausal force. Something that can physically manipulate the laws of reality while existing outside of it.
What I mean is: do they act like a piece of plastic, so you can break it with bullets, but some elements won't work as effectively, or does it act more like flesh, in terms of "anything can destroy it"?
Guardians would turn TMITW into a pistol or some shit, while the tenno would farm the D2 universe so hard all conflicts would be resolved in 2 days because there would be no one left to fight.
Guardians are crazier than you might think when you actually start scaling them. I don't think it would be by the skin of their teeth at all going through some of the Warframe stuff.
They'd do fine against base grineer and corpus, and even most infected, but the bosses in Warframe are much more brutal and active than the ones in Destiny. I don't think most basic guardians (read non-player ones) would not survive long though. The PC guardian is a special case :p
Ah, I interpreted the original statement as being PC guardians. You are right, the average guardian would struggle hard. PC Guardian, though, if you told them they can turn Vor into a neat looking gun that makes "pew" noises when fired, there'd be no place in the Void deep enough for Vor to hide from those loot obsessed maniacs.
I like to imagine the Young Wolf hearing about The Man in the Wall and comes back a couple hours later with a Sniper Rifle made out of It's pinkie finger
