Well the new cover is news to me, for the longest time it was just this one. Have you also read the description of Silentum too? It mentions the Ur-Didact being trapped on a Flood infected star system by the Master Builder. Yet the Terminals don't really leave much room for this.
I just don't buy his sudden hatred given his character in Cryptum.
The wikis have been saying contridictory things. One of the Halo wikis says it is the Bornsteller-Didact. From what you say another says the Ur-Didact. Either way, this unreasonable grudge against humanity doesn't fit either's characters. And I have watched the Terminals, they don't match up with the books much either.
Well for starters, the Ur-Didact didn't hold this insane grudge against humans that he has in Halo 4. The Bornsteller-Didact also had two human friends that he ended up caring about. The game doesn't really say which Didact is in Halo 4, but a rabid, evil Didact doesn't fit the character of either from the books.
Well one has to only look at my name to know my unpopular opinion, at least around these parts. I have nothing against the forums or most of the fans, but I just don't care for the show.
Halo 4 was a pretty mixed bag in my opinion. I wish 343i had handled the lore better though. I've read all the books and the Terminals and motivations of the Didact went against a lot established in the Forerunner Saga of books.
I've posted already, but since I'm sticking around, I may as well do an official introduction. Don't let my name startle you, I'm no troll. The show may not click, but the community I see here does. I look forward to being here.
