| In Response To: Rubicon Volunteers - Rozinante I Architecture (Tru7h)
What fun would a new scenario be without new textures? Game-wise, we have seen Boomer decorated in three different texture sets in the Marathon trilogy. In M2 Durandal notes that he has made numerous changes to Boomer since M1, but then why did the Rozinante when seen the one time we were on it in M2 look so much like Boomer in terms of style? In Rubicon as we'll later see, Durandal comments about Pfhor interior design and the fact that they may employ several different design styles on the same vessel, all acquired from other species. And the similarities between the Rozinante and the Salinger, and to Aye Mac Sikur, for that matter, are striking. I suppose that one could say that we are seeing different parts of the Rozinante in Rubicon than we did in M2. We might also say that the Pfhor copied some of the styling of the Rozinante from the Jjaro, as apparently did we in the design of the Salinger. Still, let's face it, the tru7h is that game designers prefer innovation and cool new textures over consistency.
