Ineffable Wingbolt DesertPlah Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I'm irritated at the way Alcritas ended this scenario, anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall BainIhrno Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Eh, I liked the ending, myself. Still, it's a cliffhanger, and it's disappointing that Alcritas won't make the next scenario ever. What exactly did you not like about it?

Ineffable Wingbolt DesertPlah Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 Cliff-hanger. I know he's got better things to do, but…meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody The Lurker Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 If I remember correctly, Alcritas made this scenario in order to get rid of any 'unsolved mysteries' before he stopped designing, such as Sovereign's and Sage's indentities, Cornell's secret, etc. I tend to think of the ending as an ending that leaves possibilities for future sequels (no matter how unlikely they are to be made), rather than a true cliffhanger.

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 There's still the small issue of who wins the war, although given Alcritas's creative influences, the answer is almost certainly "everyone dies". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody The Lurker Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I seem to recall Themistocles saying something like 'their fires have been put out at last' as well as 'sometimes I wonder if it was worth it' in one of the Forever scenes... I'm not really sure what that means, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Tonweya Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Though I too expected something more elaborate, I felt that what Al had to say was said throughout the other Secnarios of "The Arc". Remember things like the brutalized young girl in the Dungeon? His Scenarios had the 'feel' of one who understands what the eternal struggle of war is really all about As I reached the end of this ending, I was reminded of the Sonny & Cher song, "And the beat goes on...." Don't we all know that, "The War is never truly over."? With all he had done throughout the Arc, I doubt that any elaborate ending would have been proper anyhow. This did aptly serve his purposes. And, yes, I was impressed and thankful for his works. me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
