In Response To: Re: Projecting guilt (Hawki) : I doubt it. Minor spoilers for 'The Thursday War', but there's a scene where : a jiralhanae bomb takes out some sangheili, pissing off the sangheili : attatched to Phillips. Kind of paraphrasing, but the implication goes that : this act is horrible because it's not honourable. But glassing worlds and : killing millions? Perfectly acceptable-humans fight, lose, die. Sangheili : morals in a nutshell. So they were squealing because Truth broke their covenant? : As far as the Arbiter's concerned, I doubt it. I actually suspect he'll be
I'd like to see inside his head first. It would be a pity if he was killed off before we saw inside him. Although I believe that no matter how bad things are: they can always get worse ;-) I still think that a player character in a FPS is about the worst tool you can use to get inside a complex character's head. OTOH a novel should be a good tool to do that but the story should be told from the Arbiter's point of view to really get inside his head and It seems unlikely that that will happen in the Thursday War. Is KT the best author to do this? Maybe Joe Staten should be the one to tackle this. Maybe once Destiny/Tiger has been released, in a couple of year's time, Frankie could ask Joe to revisit the Arbiter. Or maybe Joe could explain the character to another author and the other author could write the novel. : To be fair to humanity in the setting, they've been under military rule for
Maybe P is trying to clean stuff up before the military looses traction over government: post war. And I think that it would be healthier for human society to devolve power to the colonies. Its strange, I thought that there would be more sympathy for the insurrectionists amongst American fans because of America's past history as a rebellious colony but this doesn't seem to be the case. Is it just too long ago for anyone to really care that much about it? Is 9/11 a more powerful influence?
