Re: Furthermore...

In Response To: Furthermore... (SonofMacPhisto)


: I was just thinking about this turning into Halo: Kat. Not only have you
: removed Carter, but you've also removed those random, disembodied 'Noble
: Actuals' ordering you around during missions. I never got the point of
: those. Why wasn't Carter relaying that information? Who's this guy, and
: why should I care?

: For me, that lessens the shock of so many more lines for Kat. It also makes
: sense, to me. Why wouldn't she be saying all this stuff anyway?

: It's like in Mass Effect, if EDI was giving all the orders on a mission,
: Shepard would be getting some serious side-eye from the squad.

It also puts the fate of the characters in their hands. Makes things feel a lot less like you're running around form point A to B until Halsey hollers and tells you kids to put away your toys and do something important, and a lot more like these Spartans are aware of the gravity of the situation and are trying to deploy their resources in the most logical way.

I always got the sense that the UNSC didn't micromanage Spartans all that much. Putting Kat in charge like this is great stuff.

These subtle changes to the script go a long way.
