In Response To: Re: I can think of one thing. (thermoplyae)

: No worries, the rest of us are confused as to how it's still a debate as
: well.

I think more a curiosity than a debate. They share some basic archetecture in both story construction, backstory, and key events which nudges that basic Human mental construct of drawing connections between similar (no matter how different) things. Even if they're not at all connected, people's minds like trying to make connections, it's part of how we learn and understand things (and why we feel the need to categorize and lable EVERYTHING.) So people like to see if there's anything in hardcoded lore that prevents it from happening. If there isn't, they'll assume it happened and look for evidences of it. If there are, than they will try and work around them to keep their underlying hopes and efforts to reconcile the two in tact.

I was just curious myself as to if there was anything specific that prevents it. As for Bungie...if they were the same universe, they would tell us they weren't, and if they weren't the same universe, they would tell us they weren't. ^_^ Every good storywriter knows that you toss out clues, but you NEVER say anything direct, that steals from the reader the fun of hunting down your clues and drawing their own conclusions. Maybe if the question could be phrased, "What would your brother tell me if I asked him if they're the same universe...?" ~_^
