: I wish they had the intelligence to realize their mistakes and the courage to

: I wonder if there is anything I like about prometheans or do I dislike them
: totally. Didact, Librarian, and prometheans: Forerunners just suck now.

I don't think 343i's artists have any self-awareness when it comes to analyzing flaws in their aesthetics. They just keep throwing what they've got at the designs and are at best wondering why some people won't like them (quite possibly having shuttered themselves entirely from criticism, insisting that the critics just don't like change or something to that effect).

I mean, I love most of what 343i is doing with the game. I love that they're including Blue Team, I love that Buck's back, I love the idea of Republic Commando-esque squad mechanics. I even love the environments we've seen aside from the Soviet sub-like UNSC ship interior. But their character design department needs to make an U-turn.
