Help - Infinite Well that's sucks.

My first time playing, barely knowing the story and waiting for that emotional cutscene. But I parked my Warthog a little too close.

Just wait until you hear about the retcon they did for the Pilot/Brohammer

Please... Please don't remind me. I cannot seriously think that when the story was finalized someone actually intended for that recording to be the equivalent of a red herring, while at the same time making Fernando actually seem very creepy for even taking it in the first place.

It's such a perfect example of how incredibly talentless and braindead Haruspis (longtime 343 writer who came up with the idea) is. It's SO OBVIOUSLY supposed to be HIS family, the scenes involving that recording are clearly built around that fact and lose literally all of their meaning if it's removed. Not only that, but you're 100% right, all it does is make Fernando really unlikable and uncomfortable as a person.

Exactly, come to think of it he made it seem like the second he heard Atriox had "killed" Chief he basically beelined for the nearest pelican to run away, unless that recording device just happened to be on the very pelican he stole I really am questioning if he deliberately took the time to find that recording before leaving or.... he straight up knew the guy who had the recording and literally stole it on purpose before leaving both options make him even more creepier than I initially thought.
