>>7451858Origins is largely speculative on the depiction of the Forerunners, as well as on the events leading up to the firing of the Halo arrays. Cortana admits a lot of it is guessing; the real world explanation is when they decided to flesh out the Forerunners in the book trilogy and the new Halo games, they took it in different directions rather than basing it on the Halo Legends material.
>>7451703Didn't give my Prometheans much thought at first, but after finally playing Halo 4 I started to warm up to them. The Didact set was the Broadsword wasn't it? The one set I remember sitting around unwanted was the Phaeton, even on clearance no-one seemed to be buying it (I would've if I wasn't a little broke at the time). Surprised me that they made another Phaeton set.
