Subject: Was the Didact a good villain?

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

So flood, what do you think of the Didact? Was his character good, bad, cliche, etc? Tell me your opinions.

Talking about Sweden is an ultrabannable offense.

Too bad being completely and utterly wrong isn't a bannable offense.

He hardly featured in the story at all.

Honestly, this is a good cover up for all the idiots who won't know its a cover up .

He, like H4 in general, shouldn't've existed in the first place.

Who am I?

mah twitter

Pretty lame.

Good, but not really spectacular.
That he looked and acted like a Sith lord was not really helping.

I thought he was brilliant, but that was probably because I'd read the books and watched the terminals.

I think that he should have actually had a face to face conversation with Chief, though, rather than constant monologues.

Not really. All you heard from him was a few lines of dialogue. Also, he was pretty generic.

Really good, but his ending was badly done.

I wanted a boss battle, and I got a quick time event.

I will own everyone in Halo: Reach

I haven't watched the terminals, but I've read the books, so yeah. Pretty cool.

he's a good character in general, but H4 didn't do him justice character wise.

  • 12.10.2012 9:17 AM PDT

His appearance didn't bother me at all. In fact, he looked just like I imagined him to look. The Librarian, on the other hand...I was expecting bigger eyes for some reason.

I'm in love with Jesus and proud of it!

I like his design, but he was very generic.

Not with a bang but a whimper.

No. I thought he was, in a word, pathetic. The Gravemind was a much more dynamic character in every way.

He was great. A good villain doesn't need to be on the screen all the time, he can dominate the story indirectly. After his awakening, everything done in Halo 4 is to stop the Didact.

He's genuinely much more powerful than John, and was only bested because he didn't anticipate a machine loving a human like Cortana loved John - the Forerunners' machines were devoid of such sentiments.

Can't wait for his return.

I change shapes just to hide in this place but im still im still an animal...

I thought he was awesome, one of my favorites. The whole mantle thing is pretty close to how i view things, preserving biodiversity whilst keeping survival of the fittest.
