: Regardless of the fact that MJ made the story up, it IS
: canon, simply because Take 2 now own the rights to the
: game. Bungie's products may be elevated to a higher
: level, but the creator's of M3 had just as much
: 'power' over the story as Bungie, simply because they
: had the rights and wrote the game.
: LR
legal rights do not equal "Debate food" rights.
Just because the people who made Myth III had every legal right to make it, does not mean that myth III is the truth.
It does mean that we can use it's info to support stuff (the head is Mjarin) but we cann't use it as proof of what happened during that time period any more (please don't start an arguement with me on this anyone) GURPS.
All things said and done, I think the only real canon is Myth I and II, and anything else we use is lesser canon.
My idea of the Information scale from highest to lowest value
Myth I and II
Bungie pre release info that was put in game.
GURPS
Myth III
3rd party maps using every scrap of knowledge we have of an event that actually happened, but we never saw. (White Falls, Maelduin's battle with the pirates at Leix...)
Anything else...
Note I don't say canon scale because
a) too much arguement
b) I hate rigid fact theories (this is the truth because God said it was true, type of crap.) Although we are allowed to do that with bungie info because we know bungie exists. (God on the other hand...)
c) I don't have as much experience as some of you (Gholsbane, Forrest...) so I don't want to come close to sounding like a know-it-all.
d) I just didn't. No reason.
take your pick.
