In Response To: Re: Well that's whack (Bry) : *points to Frankie's post* I read Frankie's post and I'm still in the dark. He wrote: Actually, this is written in a way that's vital to your impression. Spark's behavior feels like he assumes you know a bunch of things already - that aspect will make sense to you when you see the Terminals. I actually can't parse that first sentence. The second sentence, he agrees with the questioner, who says that a lot of the things that Spark says appear to depend on the Master Chief already being aware of many things that he is not actually aware of, and then he says "that aspect will make sense to you when you see the terminals". It's actually not any kind of answer at all. It's a valid question to ask: given that Spark assumes the Master Chief knows things he does not, and that the story's drama depends on that misunderstanding, will the terminals be story information presented by the character of Guilty Spark to the character of the Master Chief-- which has at least the potential to lessen the dramatic tension of the aforementioned conflict? Or will it be commentary about the game, or "meta" as Avateur put it, using the voice talent of Guilty Spark to give information about the story to the player, but not necessarily the character. Frankie doesn't address this question, he just promises it will "make sense" when we see it. That's fine if he doesn't want to answer-- maybe the final content of terminals isn't determined yet, and it'd be better to not give an answer that some may later claim was incomplete or misleading, but I still think it's a valid question to ask. : Let's remember that we don't know what any of the terminals say yet. : As Louis pointed out on the front page, all we've seen is a sampler of how : the terminals would work, not an actual final terminal in terms of story : content that will be in the game. A lot of the "wait and see" and "we don't know yet" responses to speculation are sort of starting to get to me. Yes, nothing is written in stone until we have the game in our hands. Most of those speculating are well aware of it. That doesn't mean these are not valid questions; there's a significant possibility of altering the way Halo 1's story plays out if this is handled in one way as opposed to another. Avateur wanted to know how it's being handled, and that question goes unanswered-- the only replies are, from one quarter, "it'll make sense when you see it" and, from others "this isn't real final content yet". Neither are particularly enlightening responses, when you get down to it.
