* The Vanguard's rule banning Guardians from trying to look into their past lives which while can be seen as a way to keep them from going on a wild goose chase in the event any record of said past were long lost, it also makes sense that it's for a ''very'' good reason. As since the line between Light and Darkness is much more blurred, the known requirements to end up being resurrected as a Guardian (devotion, bravery, sacrifice, death) don't necessarily mean that the person getting resurrected was a good person in their pre-guardian life. And if said Guardian were to discover their past, it's just as much possible they'll continue that lifestyle as it is they'll be disgusted by it and see themselves being resurrected as a Guardian as a chance to right any wrongs they did. For all we know, there could be a Guardian running around that was ''UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper'' in their previous life and could end up deciding to get their killing spree up and running again were they to find that out. It definitely makes Zavala's frustration towards Ana regarding the matter much more understandable.

* Of ''course'' Nezarec sees the Shadow Legion as a joke and little more than cannon fodder for the Guardians - they're all literally braindead clones of Cabal, Psions, and Warbeasts to serve the Witness' bidding. When they're not actively fighting or doing something as ordered, they just stand there like statues. They don't have any hopes, dreams, or anything resembling personalities or souls. As far as the Final God of Pain is concerned, they're useless beyond delaying the Guardians, as he can't break their nonexistent minds with unimaginable agony and relish in their despair.

* [[spoiler: Amanda's]] death seem to come right out of nowhere, being ''brutally'' sudden... [[spoiler: which was likely the entire point. For the rest of the Vanguard and the players, DeathIsCheap. They can go on however many risky missions they want because they'll have their Ghosts to revive them unless the absolute worst happens. But for a normal human like Amanda, no matter how much of a BadassNormal she is, ''she's still not a Guardian''. She doesn't have the same revival safety net that they do, and it ultimately ends up being her demise when she starts joining in with Guardian missions. It's a reminder that no matter how badass the player's non-Guardian allies are, there's a reason why the Vanguard are the main ones in the field.]]

* Consider how [[spoiler:[[VillainDecay Calus gets downgraded from a Raid boss to a Strike boss]] despite supposedly being granted new power after joining the Disciples, and how his post-boss cutscene implies that he was just a distraction from the Witness's true plan of hijacking your Ghost.]] With that in mind, the unusual AceCustom Pyramid the Witness gifted him was probably [[spoiler:intended as a StealthInsult, marking him as just a useful fall guy and not a "real" Disciple.]]
