Re: Clarification. Slight Extrapolation. Expansion

In Response To: Re: Clarification. Slight Extrapolation. Expansion (Hedgemony)


: Agreed. This is my rewrite of Dare, which also rewrites how the story
: progressed. Probably going to be long:)

: Game start: Dare has intel, Buck wants to know why he's sending his guys into
: a situation blind. Dare tells him it's classified. Buck lets the others
: know that he doesn't trust her or ONI. Says that they have to follow
: orders so stay alive. Right away you establish soldier versus Intelligence
: agency. Use Dare as the enemy of the piece, even though she isn't. Just
: doing her job.

: They drop, they get separated and the Rookie begins his search for his team.
: With every flashback we play through, Dare is featured in some way.
: Possibly using the giant screens around the hub to show video footage of
: Dare at another location. Leading us to think that she has set up the
: ODST's as a distraction from what she is doing. Which probably would be
: true, send in the team to create enough noise to lure away the Covies from
: where she needs to be. In this we are trying to find out what she knows
: and why we are playing the game. Dare really could have been the mystery
: of the whole piece. And kept our attention as well to what clues she left
: behind, items from ONI with further information. Would have complimented
: Sadie's Story.

: The love story element? Underplay it. Use the relationship as a further way
: to mistrust ONI with Buck and Dare throwing around cheapshots about their
: respective organizations. Subtext being about them. After the reveal of
: the Engineer, have the kiss as a way for two people to reconcile their
: differences knowing that they may die in the next part of the game. Not
: the blossoming of a potential love connection, just a mature way to say
: sorry. In this way, you are moving their story and serving the action to
: come.

Bravo. Exactly what I was thinking, except my thoughts were still in the stick-figure phase. They missed the point of the Femme Fatale - they really played up the Femme and lost the Fatale. Uncovering clues to Dares mission: Genius. I would love for one of those vids to have been Dare field testing a new kind of weapon for ONI (Just to convey the attitude of "Yeah, Earth is burning, but ONI is above all.")

You're spot on about subtext. Right now, in the Tayari Plaza cutscene, it's like Buck just turned to the camera and said "We dated 3 years ago. Ended badly. I proposed. It's clouding my judgement on some issues."

: Enough. Going to bed before I start comparing Johnson to Mr.T.

Oh. My. God. Must resist typing now.... Must resist....
