I do agree that it’s cool to get more lore and fleshing out but I think they did it the wrong way. The nerfed how strong they were described in on of the games. Guilty spark notes how Chief is wearing a level 2 combat suit and should have a level 12 during an outbreak which just tells you how much of a gap there is between the two races technology. Instead the promethians are as strong as normal enemies and they should be way tougher considering the sentinels are basically the forunners rumbas and look at how crazy they were in Halo Wars 2
The fact that Faber sobered up aka humbled himself at the end of his life aka full circle character development into even trying stay on omega halo and help the humans as much as he could prior to committing suicide by staying on the ring to fire it directionally at Path Kethona Galaxy when he could’ve just ran away, shows that he truly did regain his humanity as a Forerunner even if it was for a little while. It goes to show how a little bit of humility can go a long way. Faber of Will and Might, The Master Builder.
Agent Kara if you haven’t listened to it yet, I seriously suggest checking out the “hunt the truth” series on RU-vid, it’s official Lore, and highlights how goddamn terrifying ONI can be
It's all Innie lies. The Office of Naval Intelligence has commissioned an edited version of the reports which can be found here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BKKB94WQr1k.html
A tragic end to a tragic character. I always seemed to find myself being curious about and intrigued by Fabar more than all of the other Forerunners. More-so than the Iso, Ur Didact and the Librarian... He reminds me of J. R. Oppenheimer.. "Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds".
Htoo Doh He's a Master Builder. The leader of his rate. What did he do to get there, how did he attain that position. Why was he so ruthless in the beginning? What was he going through when he fired the rings? I'd imagine he felt like Oppenheimer when he witnessed the birth of his creation, the Atom bomb, capable of ending humanity. Fabar was practically doing the exact same thing with firing the rings. Both creators of doomsday weapons. I can't answer your question directly, I'm asking questions beyond the scope of the overall Halo narrative and what is necessary in terms of driving the plot forward. It's something I do when I'm creating characters too. You give them a personality, then you say; how would my character act in such and such way, what has happened to him to be the way he is, why would he do this or avoid that, what drives him? What are his vices, what's his moral compass, his political opinions, philosophy, religion, has the past eschewed in any way from his development as a character or is it the very reason he acts the way he does? You could say I could ask the same of the other characters, but none of them have created the very namesake of the saga we follow. "Halo". My imagination is on overdrive lol. Apologies for the incoherent answer. I went full scatter brain for a sec. I could write entire biographies for fictional characters. Even with no bearing with the lore. :P
To my mind, he was panicking. A lot, and desperate at times. Certainly egotistical often. He's a main character in this little work of mine: www.fanfiction.net/s/11580757/1/HALO-Begging-After-Knowledge (part 1)
Thanks Experia you've shed so much light on the lore of halo. I never realized how much story there was outside of the canon halo games. adds a whole other level. keep on keepin on buddy.
Mario Badia yes but Faber excruciatingly tortured thousands of humans trying to remove their souls and leaving most dead or with something incredibly wrong with them for the rest of their lives. So I think faber committed a worse crime than Vader
By the way, I believe the Didact was only tortured for like a year or two by the Gravemind, not a decade. Only about 7 years passed from the fall of the Capital to the Halos firing anyway.
I like how he changed from start to the end. Even though cruel he had great character development and is a fine example how power corrupts. He's probably my favorite Forerunner. And the reason we got Halo in the first place. Great video man!
I don't know what it is, but whenever we're talking about the forerunners, I always get this super ominous and creepy vibe from them. Idk if its because the music choice for the forerunners, but they always give me a chill down my spine.
Video on ancient humans and forerunner navies and craft. Question for Xperia: What kind of Halo ship would you command, and what would you call it. Going further, what would your ideal Halo navy be? Any ships, hell, take flood ships if you want.
I'd have a ship like one of the original humans ships like we see in the h4 terminals and call it The Wisdom Glory. My ideal navy would have covenant ships and other races ships
This made me cry, it just shows that some who commit atrocious things towards innocent people see the error of their ways and try to redeem themselves, even if it means at the cost of their lives
Man, thats deep, Im glad you finally made a video on this, you have mentioned him so many times in your previous videos and I didnt really get him at frist, but thanks for clearing it up :)
HiddenXperia, I have a question. A few months ago, you said Cortana was infected by the Logic Plague by the Gravemind. And we do know that the Gravemind was COMPLETELY destroyed by the Banished on the lesser Ark. So, who's controlling Cortana?
The Romuluan Hunter the logic plague is like a normal flood infection. Once the form is destroyed your still infected and mad. Take the didact who after a 100,000 years and his gravemind was destroyed was still mad and infected
Still unproven, but it's a very plausible hypothesis. Cortana may not realise she has such infection if so, it being disguised by her apparent rampancy, and her possible obsession with recapturing the Chief...
I would really like to see the logic plague in action... or evidence of character's descent into madness... perhaps a scene of Cortana or Bias... Something like how we saw Keyes slowly merge with the proto-gravemind.
I found a perfect weapon against the Flood. The Daleks. Logic plague would not be a danger because Daleks don't use AI. Daleks would be extremely hard to infect because every Dalek has a forcefield. Even if Dalek would be infected, that wouldn't matter because they are small so that would make little biomass, Dalek technology is very complicated so Flood wouldn't take control of it, also Daleks without their "suits" are useless. Dalels also have weapons of mass destruction and can one shot kill everything.
Wait, why does the primordial hate humanity if humanity had no hand in creating the flood or trying to wipe out the precursors? It was all the forerunners
Hey man I just want to say I love the vids, there's channels like yours but you just give the vids a lot of character. Keep up the good work and can't wait to watch new vid!
Ethan Entrican I never owned a console nor played any Halo games on Xbox. I completed Halo on PC, but never was able to complete Halo 2 because of verification requirement. Btw, thanks for the answer.
I wish Halo could sort of touch back to it's original 'feel' ya know? I noticed that the universe of pre-Reach and pre-Halo 4 days was so... Personal. The story telling could've been better some might say but it felt like a lot of heart, thought, and excitement went into the games where now it feels like we're just waiting to play more shooter games with campaigns no one will care about. In fact, I sort of lost interest in Halo for a while. It's been a while now actually. These lore videos are awesome and sorta restored my courage of getting back into Halo. Thanks! (And yes, I absolutely love the newer Halo games as well. Designs, campaigns, and all.)
