What's your personal favorite moment in the Halo games? For me, it's really just anything involving Thel 'Vadam. I can't bring myself to pick just one.

In the games? The end of Halo 2, when the Arbiter confronts Tartarus. But it flops around between the activation of the array/Truth's assassination, and the Didact's appearances. Then again, some of the Didact's best quotes are said when he's not present. [i]"You will relent human, or you will perish! All in life is choice, and your day to choose has come."[/i]

Didact was pretty epic. Pity he was a bit of a wasted enemy. They had the chance for an actual boss fight, but instead they give us a quick time event. Such a shame.

Not really. I'd have been more upset with an actual boss fight.

I was thinking something along the lines of Tartarus at the end of Halo 2. A sort of final confrontation. Not just a simple quick time event.
-
That's what I mean. It'd make the Didact look like a piece of crap.

And therein lies the problem with having one major villain character. People expect a boss fight from that. But the Didact is above a boss fight. But having the final fight be a cutscene would have been a disservice to the character. Unfortunately, quick time events aren't a good middleground.

Actually, a Cutscene would have been fine. The QTE is fine too. It allows the player to deliver the final blow while not dumbing the Didact.
