Just like the origin of Saga's parents and her "Uncle" Galath. I'd be curious to know exactly where the house is and the origin of it.ĭefinitely a mystery that was not answered by DFC. This element could make a entirely different story arc in the TLJ world. Maybe thats why it is called the house of all worlds, because everything connects there. Remember how she always says, "that's how the story goes and that's what was written." This along with her journeys is how she gets her information. As for Saga knowing everyting, she has the 13 Volumes of the Balance that were written by Galath. Perhaps someone who is more of an expert on the first game might have better ideas. There are other things said such as the worlds must rejoin eventually which they apparaently did through 'the war of balance'. This might be the whole spiral thing again. We also dont really learn how exactly saga can see the future / prophecy. I believe saga mentions time is like a spiral, and people seem to be reborn so it can be posited that saga is somehow April since they have similar abilities and saga has her memories. Ragnar has talked about another possible game called “The Longest Journey Home" which would continue April Ryan's story and likely provide answers but he recently said it will probably never happen. A disappointing 5/10.Originally posted by RolexSweep:Its not really explained. This was basically a wasted opportunity to capitalize on the adventure game trend, and it feels like it in every way. However in retrospect a remake of the classic would have been far more pleasing, and its an experience that console users also missed. For all of that it is more Dreamfall, and perhaps the closure console fans needed. It's like they expected this games legacy to account for the obvious dip in writing and gameplay, but it simply does not. Relatable protagonists and problem solving? Absolutely not. Huge set-pieces and impactful decisions - nope. Engaging and interactive player sequences - nope. Here's the problem with that, Telltale has raised the bar significantly for this style of gameplay and Dreamfall Chapters misses ALL the queues. It leaves a lot to be desired, and it seems the games mechanics have actually regressed over time, simplifying themselves in nature and pandering to the lazy gamer who's there for a story. So we get tons of background on characters in this sense, but not much else. Context is seemingly added for every unnecessary object you stumble across, and while done the right way this can show a deepness of universe, all the writers ever did was find way to shoehorn in ways the item pertained to the character examining it. That's a minor issue however, compared to the larger problem with Dreamfall Chapters. Fans have come a long way with this series, and supported it with hard earned cash - we deserve a summary of our exploits at the very least. Even knowing all the ins and outs, to see it summarized is tantamount to the experience as a whole. I guess you could argue that at this point only hardcore fans are following the series, and this isn't REALLY a good point of entry, but what a huge ball dropped. However to say it was brief is an understatement, and it left out some critical information from the ORIGINAL game that has a huge impact on the universe at large as well as character motivations. Upon start-up of the game there IS an option for a quick recap, which is narrated by the games leading protagonists. This is something I was sure the re-release of Dreamfall Chapters would remedy, after all this is the FINAL chapter. Maybe its just me, but everything from the plot to the characterization and even the visuals seemed to have deteriorated tremendously for this final chapter, in such a way that it begs you to consider: were the pre-quells really any better? I wanted to re-experience the story, but apart from some mashed together clips on YouTube there isn't really a good synopsis of the story thus far (and it is a convoluted one), which kind of leaves newcomers at a disadvantage. As a fan of The Longest Journey and somebody who was fairly pleased with the Dreamfall saga as a whole I must say.this game has not aged As a fan of The Longest Journey and somebody who was fairly pleased with the Dreamfall saga as a whole I must say.this game has not aged well.
