"I found the Rubicon Durandal
: to be more condescending or contemptuous towards the player than in 1, 2,
: or . In the original Bungie games, he watched with GLEE . Sorta
: "Heehee, kill more things!" than "Get to work,
: worm!"

: [z] "

Well, take into account that IF there are truly multiple universe's; people,Computer A.I's, movement of planets, etc may not be EXACTLY the same as in other 'parallel' universe's.
Thats how I rationalize all Marathon Scenerio's. Especially after completing Marathon Infinity all thoes years ago...

Rubicon's Durandal did seem slightly different, but it all depends upon the scenerio's author or writer. If they want Durandal to appear meanacing, they seem to focus all their meanacing personality traits into their writings.

*Personally, I loved Rubicon because of its surrealistic gameplay (at times
). Stuff that has to do with that is always awesome, and Marathon:Red at times did that too. [i.e: walking into a krazy space portal that seems to defy the laws of the Marathon game engine/physics; becomming a insane bio-genetic monster, the usual ;) ].

Anyways...

[On a offhand note,] I'mthinking of writing a Quazi-Marathon based short story (involving lotsa surreal imagery, dreams, a Generation starship, aliens, etc...) for my Gr 12 Sci-fi fantasy English Class.

I mean, I always wanted to write a Marathon-ish story, now I have a purpose for it. :-)

BTW, I'm assuming this forum accepts HTML tags like < font size= whatever >, font color=puce, etc, correct?
