Re: Something looks wrong with The Silent Cartogra

In Response To: Re: Something looks wrong with The Silent Cartogra (Narcogen)


: Exactly. I think the problem here is ascribing value to details that exist
: only for their own sake.

: The presence or absence of any distant mountains on the SC level was most
: likely not intended to establish a canonical reason for the island being
: geographically isolated as a Forerunner design decision. The problem isn't
: reconciling the new and the old game, it's discarding over-interpreted
: details from the earlier game.

I could as easily say that was a Forerunner design consideration and use Halo 1's island location as my 'evidence'. Bungie would be the only ones to tell me whether that was a conscious decision or not. Nothing goes against it, but now in Anniversary, that's changed. :)

Regardless, I now see mountains...not gonna change at this point.

: Heck, I went on for months speculating on the gameplay options indicated by
: the surrender of an Elite in the MWNY video-- that you'd have to take
: enemies prisoner, guard them, transport them, perhaps even interrogate
: them.

: Turns out it was just a cool thing to put in a video :) I was assigning story
: value to a detail that didn't turn out to have-- and very likely never,
: ever had any.
