: Too bad Bungie didn't add a few obvious connections.
: Instead of naming Soulblighter lame old Damas they
: could have called him Bernard and there certainly
: could have been 7 Fallen Lords (and there may be...
: somewhere) And no incoherent phrases like Frog Blast
: the Vent Core! They couldn't have made the warrior say
: something like "chickens robed the meat
: door!" (but slurred it)
There were 7 Lords. Balor counts!
Some few Marathon connections at http://myth.bungie.org/legends/delusions/connections/marathon.shtml
: THey've been called shades and a few other names in-game
: by the dead germans SMARTY PANTS :) I keep hearing
: about this Black COmpany. What were the similarities
: besides The Watcher and that Fertility God gone bad or
: whatever it was.
What, you're gonna believe a dead German? Nietzsche appears and talks to me all the time, but I don't just believe what he says.
As for the Black Company, you'll have to ask someone who's read it. There's a brief article on the connection with Myth at http://myth.bungie.org/legends/delusions/blackcompany.shtml
The Watcher/Fertility God thing was from Lovecraft, though. I remember, cuz I was the one who picked up on it. :-)
