Writing dialogue with no reference
Heh - bizarreness. Narcogen also noticed an interview with Eric Trautmann over at Earth's Greatest - he talked about writing a lot of the dialogue in Halo in a really short time... and under absurd conditions.
So, we had three days to bang out some ridiculous amount of dialogue, but they wouldn't actually let us LOOK at the game (which is why some of the dialogue doesn't make total sense; I conservatively estimate we got it about 80-90% right, which I think is an accomplishment given how blind we were flying).
I'll betcha a dollar that Cortana's "this cave is not a natural formation!" line is explained by this situation. Pretty neat to see behind the scenes after the fact... sort of amazing it turned out as well as it did! (Louis Wu 15:08:00 UTC)
