Re: That's stupid from a gaming standpoint *SP*

In Response To: Re: That's stupid from a gaming standpoint *SP* (kapowaz)


: I'm afraid not. Reach shows that Cortana has an immense amount of
: Forerunner knowledge downloaded into her from the dig below Sword base.
: This is implied regardless of whether or not you interpret the story as
: Cortana essentially having been ‘born’ from this information (which is in
: contradiction to not only The Fall of Reach , but more significantly,
: Halsey's diary supplied with the game), which is kind of what the cutscene
: in the game suggests.

: Cortana being in possession of this knowledge conflicts massively with the
: majority of the first half of Halo , in terms of trying to discover what
: the ring is, who built it, and what it does. Either the knowledge that she
: was given by Halsey wasn't anywhere near significant enough to warrant the
: desperate rush to get it to the Pillar of Autumn, (I dunno, maybe it was
: the Forerunner equivalent of the complete works of Shakespeare?) or
: Cortana was essentially well aware what the Halo ring was but decided not
: to bother telling us until halfway through the first game.

This was something at first I was wary of. But I've come to decide that as a 'custodian', that didn't mean she had all the Forerunner knowledge, but moreso that was protecting it, perhaps analyzing, but likely hadn't determined anything mindblowing at that point. She managed to get coordinates of an artifact, and the jump took the PoA there, but it's not like suddenly she knows everything about everything, including the Halo and the Flood. She FR custodian part was a fragment of the true Cortana as well, so the re-joining could have some other side effects. *shrug*
Maybe I'm just forgetting some written details. But I made it work for myself :)
