>>9833860I actually kind of feel like, aside from the odd choices here and there and such, if some things played out differently, some of the main plot points in Halo 4 could’ve been a good way to cap off the “Master Chief” story in Halo, if he were to get an expanded epilogue. Of course, in this hypothetical, he still might be realeRed here and there, so that players/readers can know how whereabouts. Like, then reviving Cortana and making her one of the cliche “the ends justify the trillions dead” kind of villains is sucky.
Like, maybe if they had done what they were planning on doing, with the Ur-Didact being the main antagonist of the Reclaimer Saga (which was dumped, since Halo Infinite has nothing to do with that) but each time he reappears he’s more damaged and more machine each time to the point where it’s questioned if he’s even still “alive”, which would’ve been an interesting “parallel” between Chief and Cortana, in a way.
I kind of got off track there for a bit.
