[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Seig Akai Well, either way, 343 had best correct the story here with the Didact and Librarian (which I felt was a slap in the face by her only appearing for a matter of moments) before I stand out in front of their office and snap the disk in half. Won't do much but it will make me feel better. Through the Lore of the original Trilogy as well as all of the books, most importantly the ones written by Greg Bear, the Didact seen in this game is obviously not Bornsteller. The Prometheans met in the game are entirely left field but I enjoyed their presence to an extent. The 'Didact', however, did not seem as powerful as he should have been. This race once spanned the galaxy and held phenomenal technology. Compared to their technology from the lore/books, coupled with what we've seen, and their ability to combat mankind in their own timeline.. I wouldn't say that Mankind caught up in any respect. If you recall, guilty Spark (Chakas) refers to John's armor in Halo 1 as being inferior on multiple tiers which left John in disbelief. I enjoyed the game it was good to see many of the references from the story stand out, but the ending as well as the Didacts appearance coupled with the Librarian....it just left a sour taste in my mouth. It's like they wanted to cram too much drama and not enough accuracy into the game which has had one of the shortest campaigns I have played in the Halo Series for a while. There was quite a bit of content but.. it just didn't feel right. They don't know quite have that edge that the original trilogy did with John. I'm birdwalking here. there is an obvious gap in technology between Humanity and the Forerunners, even moreso with the Precursors. There is endless lore and depth that they can explore and branch from and regardless of if I enjoyed the game they need to -stick to the damn roots.- Bornsteller had best make an appearance. The Librarian needs a more involved role, and dammit it wouldn't hurt for John to be reunited with Fred, Kelly, and Linda...but that's just a dream of mine. [/quote] Now, I don't know why you folks can't put the pieces together. Didact was the one who fired the rings in the terminals and lore, and since the Ur-Didact in halo 4, the original Didact, was a douche, that leaves Bornstellar as the one who fired the rings. Anywho, I pretty much agree with your whole post on that.
