: Why does Myth 3 not have the same standing as the other
: two games? Because its not Bungie?

: Guys I realy hate to say this but Bungie is out of it as
: far as any new Myth games go. They have gone on to
: other things. This is not nessisaraly a bad thing
: though.

: If GOD (and not the one I go and worship on Sundays)
: takes this in the right direction and exicutes the
: game properly it could be a huge shot in the arm for
: the game. I mean (and this may sound terrable
: depending on how long you have loved and made
: sacrifices to bungie;) a new perspective on things
: could actuly make the story better. Its not like they
: will throw out every thing bungie created. They will
: simply try to make a great backstory for it.

: It is a faily simple undertakeing (I can say that cause I
: am not going to be doing the work) because Bungie has
: given fairly compleat overview of the timeperiod they
: are working on but left the specifics blank.

: If the story is good I think it would be a shame to
: dismiss it simply because Bungie did not write it
: themselvs.

Look at the Myth games as a good book (and in some respects, it is) and look at Bungie as being a good author. Sure the books themselves are good and they seem to take on their own style, but it is the author of them that seem to be the only ones to deliver. Suddenly, some other guy writes a myth 3 book. Its a good book, but its not Bungie. As a result its simply NOT as good and in a way not official. Another author, in my opinion, can never take over a story. Its the original authors story and only his mind can deliver. Its not the book, its the author.
