Tallgeese Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 So in the new Scanned trailer we see a tall orange armor clad person/thing walk up to MC. The sice and presence of this person/thing is pretty intense...think it is the Didact? Here is a pick: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mc6whqW03k1ryi4vuo1_1280.png 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tallgeese Posted October 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 I'm pretty sure that has to be him... I would agree..looks pretty menacing and intense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hᴜᴍᴘsᴛʏʟᴇs Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 I mean, judging from his surroundings, stature, and physical appearance I would say it is definitely him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuette Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 I would say it is The Didact, but I don't what type of armor he is wearing, been a long time since I read all the books and it might of said something about his armor but i'm not sure, but look how he is much taller than the chief, around 9 to 10 feet I presume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sierra1117 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 I swear in my mothers life that is the Didact. Notice his armor has the same lights on it as the prometheans, and as someone else pointed out in another thread, look at how big he appears on chiefs motion sensor. My first reaction to him was http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/200/420/BRTky.jpg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jord Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 I was getting a Ur-Didact/Faber feel from the figure. I say Ur-Didact because I'm not sure how extensive the brevet mutation on Bornstellar was. I remember in the 2nd Forerunner trilogy book that Bornstellar mentions that Bornstellar only lives on through his dreams. But the way the character was portrayed is what gives me the Ur-Didact feel from the trailer, as the portrayal of the Bornstellar Didact did not match that of the Ur-Didact's portrayal. But I guess that's in no small part due to the Librarian's influence on Bornstellar, sort of a new Didact, a better Didact sort of thing. As for the Faber (The Master Builder) feel...figure was menacing, his size and form shows power and dominance, and the fact that the figure did not speak in the trailer suggests that the silence shows that the figure is beyond our comprehension, as much as we will try, we'll never begin to understand what and who the figure is. (Much like the connection of Protheans to the primitive races in the Mass Effect universe). The stare off between the Chief and the figure reminded me of the court session in Cryptum, where Bornstellar and Faber look at each other in silence. But I'm probably trying to look into it to much, and I've probably rambled so I do apologize 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaptastic Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 I know in other threads people have been talking about the master builder being the antagonist in the series. It could still be him still, remember all forerunners wore armor, or some kind of suit. It's what kept them alive for so long and allowed them to not need sleep or eat. I would assume that that the master builder who was the highest of rank in the forerunner guild system would have some pretty bad ass armor.

Do you want my mom to die?! It's the Didact because he controls the prometheans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaptastic Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 look at my first post. It's the Didact! Do you want my mom to die?! It's the Didact because he controls the prometheans In no way do I want a mother getting caught up between chief and his enemies. As far as controlling the prometheans, maybe that's where you see the split between orange and blue promes. Those that fallow the didactic are blue and the master builder are orange.

Fishy Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Could be the didact, or worse... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebuchadnezzer2 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 My guess is Faber. bout 80% sure it'd be him, over Bornsteller-Didact. could be Ur-Didact i s'pose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Element Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 in the meantime, the shape of the figure seemed to resemble a knight to me, but that would seem stupid to put a knight in the trailer and keep its details hidden. Common sense says its the didact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
