We Dont Know Enough about the didact


Victory Element

Recommended Posts

the problem is, we dont even know which didact will be in halo 4. We know there is the bornstellar Didact and the ur-didact tthat could possibly end up in halo 4. They have completely different intentions and feelings about the events in the forerunner novels, and it makes a huge difference to know which didact we are even talking about.

 

A lot of theories that are out there consist of a mixture of both didacts personalities and history. We need to be able to recognize them as different and understand that they would affect halo 4 differently.

 

I personally do not the didact should be discussed much more until we know which didact we're even talking about

 

 

if you did not know that there are two seperate didacts, use the link for a summary of Halo:Silentium

I am pretty sure its the UR-Didact...from some of the quotes teased in some of the videos you can tell it is from a Military Leader who thinks that the Forerunners are all powerful. You can also tell he is starting to think that Humans are following a similar path to that of their ancestors who fought the Forerunners and that Humans are becoming a threat to the galaxy. Plus having the Ur-Didact as the main enemy would make sense, a powerful Forerunner General vs Master Chief

I'm still curious to see where the Composer fits in all of this. The Didact could have been altered by the Composer into a different form. What would be really strange is if BOTH Didacts make an appearance! Could cause for a little drama with the Librarian, lol!

 

But, like you said, we'll just have to wait and see!

but discussing it here would be a spoiler, which would most likely result in me feeling the cold steel of the banhammer.

lol what do you mean? This is the place to discuss what we think will occur during the capaign, which is why there isn't another section called Halo 4 Campaign Spoilers

Actually, no he is right. If he were to reveal which didact is was, that would be a spoiler. And any and all spoilers related to Halo 4 at this point are related directly to the stolen game disc, and if they are posted here the poster will be banned. http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/15036-halo-4-leaks-policy/

In this trailer, the words on the screen mention "An ancient hatred". He later says "Humanity stands as the greatest threat to the galaxy". I believe this is the less friendly Didact, who is hostile to humans. The voice heard throughout the trailer sounds like a self-righteous military leader. This could be a further indication.

I'm a bit confused about the Didact, like what is he?

An actual Forerunner?

Or something like Cortana, a flash copy of an actual forerunner?

The Didact is an actual forerunner. The Didact (which is a title, not a name) is the military leader of the forerunner military. While he is not in COMPLETE control, as the forerunners run similar to the way the US does military wise, he is the most "evolved" and respected out of all of the other members of the military. Which doesn't say much, as the forerunners tend to look at their military in a scum-of-the-Earth manner.

How is that possible though?

Firing of the rings wiped out everything, unless thats what the shield worlds are for, Right?

The Didact was exiled for speaking out against the construction and possible use of the Rings. The Didact did not think firing the rings was the right decision and though that the military could handle the flood. The Didact spoke out and physically refused to be a part of it, he was thus exiled to a shield world (Requiem). Those that supported him followed/were exiled as well (Prometheans).

Wait I thought Bornstellar and Ur, are the same Didact?

 

Ur's personality and essence was transferred into Bornstellar and he became the the new Ur-Didact.

 

http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/The_Didact

The Ur-Didact is the original Didact, he can't be replaced. When his memories and conscious was transferred, Bornstellar became the Didact, not the Ur-Didact. So there are 2 different Didacts.

I still wonder if Bornstellar Didact is in his "Flood invested system" that he was banished to by Faber, or if he's long gone...

Bornstellar was never in a flood infested system, that was the Ur-Didact, and he got out of the system
