: Actually, I think someone (Craig I think, or mb even
: Scott himself) has stated here that Bungie looked over
: their design doc and gave it the OK before MJ even got
: permission to make Myth III from Take Two, so there is
: some degree of authorization there. Which is what has
: been driving me so nuts - two contradictory authorized
: sources.
Thank you, Forrest. I'm glad someone remembers. I'm sorry you're being driven nuts.
: Doesn't anyone remember that we've already resolved this?
: We looked up the quote and it said "reanimated
: corpses of long-dead sorcerors". We were all just
: misremembering it, probably because all Light
: sorcerors were thought to be Avatara and we assumed
: that undead people were all formerly Light, hence
: undead sorcerors were resurrected Avatara.
Exactly.
: But that's wrong. They're just sorcerors, of any sort. So
: the new difference between M2 and TFL is that in TFL,
: it was a long-dead corpse of no particular
: orientation, brought back to Unlife; while in M2,
: living evil mages go straight to Shadehood. Of course,
: they could just be volunteering to be killed and
: brought back, while you can in fact bring back ANY
: mage's body.
Right, agreed.
