Are the Promethans AI or what? In the gameplay we’re told they aren’t organic, but then in the bulletin we are told they aren’t robots, the original organic prometheans were living warriors, and were very Human like, what the hell happend?
Probably only time will tell, there’s alot more to these guys than meets the eye, like the fact they turn blue when it goes dark e.c.t
Well, I don’t know. They haven’t actually said that. There was concept art that showed a “driver” getting out of the Promethean knight. They also said that those little arms sticking out are the “drivers”. I would assume that they are AI, but they keep saying stuff like that which makes me wonder if there is a person inside.
The Watchers and Crawlers are definetly automated AI.
The Knights are… different. Cortana could only confirm they weren’t organic, but there was definetly something about them that wasn’t the same with the others.
The theory is that the Knights are the old spirits/durances of actual Promethean Warriors, placed in an automated body they can control. This way, they can serve the Didact even after death. So, the Knights are about half and half. Physically AI/mechanical, and “mentally” true-ish Prometheans.

Dude didn’t you win Community member of the week? wheres your medal?
OT: Maybe the souls of fallen Prometheans were transfered into AI by a composer?
I’m assuming they’re synthetic organisms.
I always thought of them as huge bugs.

Its the same thing about asking about what the Prometheans are. That thread is active it was posted today. Both of these posts are the same topic.

They’re animations do resemble insects, i think somebody made a thread on that actually…

WOW dude sorry I don’t spend all my time on this forum, unfortunately I wasn’t online 3 hours ago so I didn’t see it, what the hell is your problem, stop flaimbaiting.
they answered this definitively in the new vidoc.
They showed the driver, a forerunner. they called it a sarcophagus at one point. That’s what they keep a mummy in.
So basically through some unholy technology, these ancient biological Forerunners are undead inside the mummy suit. You can see their rotting black little arms sticking out the suit!!
Some energy keeps them “alive” but as you can see when the face mask opens their is no tissue left on the skull. They are fully merged with and sustained by the suit.
That’s why at first blush Cortana thinks they are not biological. B/C THEY ARE ALREADY DEAD. But their body and mind are still in their moving like those dead skeleton guys in Skyrim whose name is escaping me at the moment

ooo great theory, I think you may be right! =D
I look forward to finding out which of these theories is true

thanks I’m 99.9% certain about this. they also showed a concept art in the vidoc of the forerunner face in the helmet, unrotted. like its actual face. very human like. but in the game they are all skulls now.
when we first saw the skulls a lot of people were saying “oh its there to intimidate people” as if the forerunners put a skull image on a robot just to creep people out. I thought that was stupid and lame, and was not to fond of the art direction on that point.
But now that I know the truth, it makes the game that much darker and actually creepy!! i love it!

I’ve been wondering that too… I’ll look into it, but its not my biggest concern.
Thats what the theory is… the Composer transfered the durances of the dying/infected Prometheans who wished to serve the Didact after death into Promethean combat AI.
in the vidoc at 4:11 you can see what im talking about.
pause at 4:13 that’s where they show the forerunners face before it became just a skull

Yep. But I don’t think their tiny little arms have to do with anything. If you notice their large arms are a gun and a melee weapon so I feel like the tiny arms are for precision handling if needed.
I think the Forerunners used The Composer to seal the essences of the original Prometheans into the Prometheans we know from Halo 4.
She pointed the crawlers wasn’t organic when they finish the first wave of crawlers, but she didn’t said the knights where so far…i guess
