About: | Volunteers. Chapter II of Marathon 2: Durandal One of ten illustrations Craig did for the game. In the game this Chapter screen slowly scrolls to the right revealing the player and the full title of the Chapter. The player is holding a Pfhor Fighter's shock staff even though they can't be used in the game. In 1997 Craig Mullins wrote:
"I always liked to freely interpret the designs and situations in the game. I worried that the purists might not like that, but the Marathon universe is very large and so much takes place off-screen and is only hinted at in the terminal texts. I wanted to keep the feeling of expanding what was only suggested and go beyond what was already there. What, the marine with the Pfhor staff? Huh? Why not?" The above image is actually a horizontally transposed version of the original. It was necessary to flip the image so that the player with the Pfhor staff would be revealed as the image slowly scrolls across the screen. Below is the view you see when you start this Chapter.
If you fail to let the image scroll you won't see the full Chapter title which has lead to amusing questions such as "Who or what is Volu?" or observations such as "The Enforcer called Volu". |
