[QUOTE="shadowlight, post: 801475, member: 7084"] Or maybe we all have different tastes. It's cool to not like it, but clearly there are a bunch of us who loved the story and are stoked for the RPG. (And is there something wrong with being a fan of something cool? Aren't we all just a bunch of D&D [i]fanboys[/i]?) Move along please. Moving along, there's been a bunch of speculation that the RPG will flesh the Halo universe out more... this is mostly what I'm looking forward to (rather than the rules per se). I think the thing that appeals to me is the idea that the humans have been thrown into this holy war but have no idea why. They're still pretty new to space, and are totally outgunned -- making for some cool dramatic combats. Also, the antagonists (the Covenant) are fanatical but not one-dimentional - because of their spiritual depth. The mystery surrounding their attack on humans (as well as something ancient that they're searching for on human worlds -- alluded to in [i]Fall of Reach[/i]) should make for some great stories for gaming sessions. I'll stop now, but did I mention that I'm stoked? :D [/QUOTE]
