Mango88 Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 In halo 3 In game content by bungie the didact and the librarian conversation is in the terminal. To my knowledge it doesn't reveal they are forerunners. Most books published "the forerunner saga" by Greg bear were published after bungie left I believe. Any knowledge if the librarian and the didact were intended to be "organic, mortal, forerunners" by bungie or is this a 343 idea? Please help?

Bungie's original idea for Forerunners were that Forerunners were humans. 343i changed that But to answer your question. We don't know. Your question is extremely specific and honestly we didn't/don't know what Bungie's intentions were with the terminals during that time. The obvious answer would be yes. because The Librarian and Iso-Didact are still mortal Forerunners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango88 Posted November 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Bungie's original idea for Forerunners were that Forerunners were humans. 343i changed that. Thanks for the reply. Do you say the above because 343 Guilty Spark says "You are Forerunner," to John-117? Although someone mentioned In the Bestarium, it makes mention that all of Spark's observations are 'Under Investigation', whereas Tangent's (Monitor of Installation 05) observations are all confirmed... The obvious answer would be yes. because The Librarian and Iso-Didact are still mortal Forerunners. Are you getting that information from Greg bears books and halo 4? I'm curious if there is any in game evidence or literary evidence when bungie was in command of the game and books(Eric nyland, William Dietz, ). That the forerunners are mortal. And the didect and the librarian are forerunners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of theorys pointing to why 343 Guilty Spark said that to John, but I don't deal with theorys. Only fact. So far nothing in Halo lore has pointed to why exactly Spark makes that comment. Are you getting that information from Greg bears books and halo 4? I'm curious if there is any in game evidence or literary evidence when bungie was in command of the game and books(Eric nyland, William Dietz, ). That the forerunners are mortal. And the didect and the librarian are forerunners. I get my information from Halowiki, The Forerunner Trilogy by Greg Bear, and Halo 4. The Forerunners are mortal with an average lifespan of 1,000+ Years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Director Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Mortality is such a tricky concept. Forerunners live a very long time, but as we know them they are mortal. They can use technology to extend their lives to massive extents (i.e. Ur-Didact) or to mimic themselves to such an extent that it can seem as if they're still alive (i.e. The Librarian) but be that as it may, they can still die. As for Bungie's intentions with the Forerunners, well Bungie made it to where nearly all of the Forerunners had been exterminated from the galaxy by the flood. So I'd have to say yes they did intend for Forerunners to be mortal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
