good point about the honor of being an archer, I forgot about that. Yes, it stands to reason that if we had to put an identity on him then it would be a Warrior, but I still am convinced that the writer is meant to be anonymous. Some levels have no warriors at all anywhere yet he clearly participated in, not to mention the wiping out of all veterans after the 5 champs level in the first myth Also, the thought of us only commanding a small portion of the legion doesn't quite work for me. True, the number of our units are small. But I think this was a game limitation, or a matter of convenience for Bungie. I also think that, like all myths, things aren't supposed to be exactly accurate: they're not supposed to add up completely (kind of like the whole dead/not dead alric thing). Nevertheless, I think it can be safely assumed that the number of men in the different levels (save the champion levels) was supposed to be somewhat figurative or approximate. In the Watcher level we are told a hundred men return to finish the Fallen Lord off, yet you never get more than thirty or thirty-five berserks. Shadow of the Mountain you have to defend the legion's battle standard yet you don't get more than 20 or 30 troops. Surely the LEGION's standard guard is not made up of 30 men! Again, I think this is a simple game engine limitation that can be justified by the very name of the game: Myth. I think the greatest aspect of this game is its mystery, its ambiguity. The game is called MYTH, and I think a lot of little details are supposed to be muddled, inaccurate, and damn near contradictory b/c that's how myths tend to be, especially when compared to the histories that birth them. Either way, the guys at bungie did something right b/c we're still talking about the game seven years later!
