i thought (and i could be completely wrong…but i thought the forunners wouldn’t be hostile to humans (at least the second generation of humans) having already fought a war with them and won.I was completely taken off guard when they hinted (from several sources ) that he would be the main antagonist…
Welcome to Waypoint.
We shall see come Nov. 6th.
its a big possibility
There’s two Didacts, let’s just say that.
idk there’s an achievement that shows a symbol that looks similar to didact’s but it’s different, so I dont think it is the didact.
welcome to waypoint by the way
It is obvious the Didact, one of them, plays an important role in Halo 4.
What that role exactly is… we can’t say. He seems to be hostile for now, but I don’t believe he is the trueAncient Evil thats been discussed. Perhaps being used as a puppet for a greater evil, like the Precursors or something.
Only time will tell. If he is indeed the Ancient Evil, I truly hope the terminals do a good job explaining how he became evil. He isn’t evil as we know him now.
> There’s two Didacts, let’s just say that.
CRYPTUM/PRIMORDIUM SPOILER ALERT: Didn’t the original Didact die? or is my memory just failing me?
The “Ancient evil” is more likely the Precursors, even though they aren’t “evil” they still eradicated species, my theory is that the Precursors have returned and are finally ready to give the Humans their trial.

The didact would not harm humans, he was a big believer in the mantle, even during the flood attacks, the librarian, although she despised the mantle, also believed in saving and protecting all life, neither would do anything to harm the human race.
He’s not evil Nor is he “Ancient” in comparison to the flood and Precursors.

Exactly.
Which is why I’m going with a corrupted or used by the Precursors, the true Ancient Evil.
The Didact just isn’t evil… neither of them would suddenly feel like destroying Humanity after a long nap.
My theory for the ancient evil was the didact rite from the beginning.
but the I started to think a bit more. in primordium or cryptum the didact mentioned “The words of the beast will poison your mind keep your distance” and then the didact killed the primordial with a reverse timelock which basically aged the beast so much that it shriveled it up. and later on in cryptum the ur-didact was killed by the master builder but before he died he gave bornstellar all of his memories and characteristics then bornstellar eventually became the didact.now moving on with the theory… Since the didact did have the memories of the event and the poisonous words he eventually became corrupt and went back to revive the beast with a reverse timelock. and now the primordial has taken control of the didact and his armies.

The Prometheans in the Game are AI, i have a feeling the “souls” from the original organic prometheans were passed through in to the AI’s by the composer

First off, Ur-Didact is not dead. Whole point proven wrong in that sentence, read the silentium description

He didn’t say the Ur-Didact was dead.
And Silentium’s description doesn’t completely debunk his theory… it just says it hasn’t happened yet. Its possible that, over time, his conversations with the Primordial caused him to go corrupt.

my mistake well anyway just lets call him the didact. but I nave a very strong feeling that is what has happened in halo 4 and the terminals will explain it
I cannot see either of the Didacts being an evil entity unless they were being controlled by a third party.
> I cannot see either of the Didacts being an evil entity unless they were being controlled by a third party.
My first post in this thread explains what might have happened. I think it makes sense
thank you and yes , there is alot of evidence stating that he will DEFINITELY be a main character , but i’m just concerned as to why he was hostile to human with out a cause…
