Re: Missing cutscene and carnivorous flood

In Response To: Missing cutscene and carnivorous flood (Narcogen)

: Maybe it's just the kind of thing that "other games" would do, but
: I wouldn't have minded seeing a short cutscene at some point, showing what
: happens to him. Either being Flood-infected, if you left him alive, or
: having the Flood pass up his corpse if you killed him. That at least would
: give you a clear indication of what you SHOULD have done (if there is such
: a thing). Or maybe it wouldn't.

: Actually, it's still unclear to me exactly how "dead" you have to
: be before the Flood don't get you. The games themselves are unclear on
: this, especially Cortana's quote in T&R where she refers to the Flood
: "gathering bodies" when all there is there is corpses. Are they
: being gathered for infection/reanimation? For food? When Cortana refers to
: stopping the Flood by killing their "food" does she mean hosts
: for infection, or flesh to be eaten as sustenance? And if the latter, how
: does that help, as many carnivores eat dead or cooked flesh?

Remember in HGN? The flood gather corpses to make a "Commander Form". They did this with Captain Keyes, the Legate and the Gravemind.
