We Will Never Die: Rebooted (A Halo Spartan Quest)

That's the thing, we've already seen Master Chief, a lot. He's the star of almost all the games and a fair bit of the books iirc. More interested in exploring the other characters and developing our own than just trying to follow John/Blue team around or trying to rehash canon. We will see him, he's not going to stop doing his thing just because we're here, and even if they all survive/don't wash out, there's still only 75 of us, we'll all kind of know each other.

That's one way to look at it.

Another is that half the Fun for Quests like this, at least for me, is having the Player Characters interact with the Heroes of the Franchise the Quest is based out of.

Also: There is a BIG difference between interacting with or even being Friends with Jon and "rehasing Canon". That one's not gonna happen anyway because of the very Nature of a Quest that relies on Dice-Rolls.

I respect that approach, but for me, one of the things that makes a quest interesting is see a character doing his own thing.

When is based around a famous franchise, I find more interesting more interesting what the Player Character will do outside of the protagonist of the franchise that the quest comes from and seeing what kind of situations he will stumble upon instead of something that we have already saw in the original product.

And as much as I dislike OC's, if I find their actions and personalities likeable and I see them doing their own adventures outside of the protagonist group, I'll surely get interested in their actions and his consequences; same for character that the canon left with little develoment and are the main focus of the quest, things llike that make me intersted in a quest.

But that's just my opinion on the issue.

It is indeed, only one way to look at it. I'm not against interacting with John at all, and we did try, it's just that the dice really, really hated us on that one.

OCs get a bad rap because, like most things, 90% of them are garbage. Well written ones can be as engaging as any published character, and the nature of a quest makes things a little different anyway.

I ask again: How does any of this Contradict interacting with Jon? We can be friends with him and still end up doing our own thing.

And we can do our own thing and still end up being friends with John. I'm not saying "never, ever try, again", but there are 73 other Spartans, three of whom are on our team(I am aware that realistically Magoose isn't actually going to write all of them up, that would be insane).

In none, i'm actually interested in interact with him, but i would like to keep interacting with our team for this test/thing(?) that we've been trusted into by the ONI/UNSC, it has nothing to do with wanting to interact with John or not.

We just had a very important moment with them, and i kinda would like to keep interacting with them for this, i still would like to see John, but i believe that can wait a little until we have better ties with our team.
 
Look, I'm sorry, I probably get all the wrong signals here. It's just that to me, this starts feeling like some Questers here want to desperately avoid interacting with Characters that Canon put into the Limelight at any cost because Reasons.

Again, that's probably my own misconception and not at all what's really going on. Sorry. I think I'll take a break for a few hours and collect my thoughts a bit.
 
[X]Daisy: "Hey… look someone left me some money in my pocket."
[X]A City: Wow… New Alexandria is big…. Best try to blend into the crowds. You hope it's a weekend, or the schools will think your cutting class.

It won't surprise me that we would end up the Seiren Osman route, and end up taking control of the ONI to stop it's worse excesses while keeping it pointed at the right direction to keep humanity alive.

Don't worry about it, i will admit that i did attempted to avoid interacting with them during the team choosing scene, mostly because some were starting to actually say to try and become the leader of team blue instead of John, and that kinda rubbed me in the wrong way.

But don't worry, as i say, it's a completely understandable reaction, and i kinda believe that is somewhat starting to go in that direction.

For my part, I was trying(and failing apparently) to avoid being a dick, but there has a been a certain amount of "John John John" from the get go, and while I could certainly roll with it and am interested in interacting with John/Blue team(I like canon blue team) I'd prefer not to focus on it. It is however, a quest and the votes go how they go. I do understand being interested in the main character of the original series, everyone has their own thing. Sorry.

I will say this however so no one gets mad:

We'll get to spend some time with all the spartans eventually.

Especially once the Christmas episode happens, and we begin our mad science.

And get Mendez's reaction when he actually gets an anonymous present. After he checks it for explosives, anyway. And contact poison. And radiological substances.

Well, as much as Mendez is a freak of nature that only a few people can compare...

He's not going to be to fussed that we did a great invention, and gave it to him as a gift.

No the thing that will give him a heart attack is when we find out we're not getting paid, or get leave by the Navy.

Now that would cause an uproar that may destroy the Spartan program.
