Re: Why not?
Posted By: Bry	Date: 1/12/10 1:33 p.m.
In Response To: Re: Why not? (Archilen) : Nylund says in the acknowledgments of GoO that Brian Jarrard, Rob McLees, : Frank O'Connor, and Joseph Staten "helped develop the story and : checked every nuance of the manuscript more times than [he] can : count." : While it was not directly Bungie's work, it was all approved and checked by : them. Not really just "someone else's". If there was something : there they didn't like, they could've just told Nylund to remove it. Perhaps, though it is hardly unheard of for Bungie to decide to change things that they themselves have established, The "why's" don't really make much difference at the end of the day. At this point one has realised that if you crave a perfectly consistent universe, then the Halo one just might not be the one to follow. That's just the way its always been really, but its becoming more apparent as more and more material is established and the far greater potential for clashes. Still, its a bit late in the day to still get upset over every little thing. I've been watching more and more friends lose their passion for the Halo universe (and even the games as games) because they are unhappy with new question marks and apparent new inconsistencies popping up, and that's pretty sad for me to watch. When things start to bother you so much and so often, its going to affect your love for it. As it happens, the friends that still feel the greatest attachment to the universe are those that have not read the two latest novels, any of the comics, did not watch Legends and know next to nothing about Reach. Ignorance can indeed be bliss. ( That said, I don't really know much about Reach 'either. My modem died on Jan 1 and its taken 12 days to get Virgin Media off their arses and get me back online). I used to track and follow every little detail, but relaxing that just a tiny little bit and allowing wiggle room for all material seems to be helping me stay away from getting grumpy about it all. Heh, instead I'm getting grumpy at those getting grumpy.
