”One of the dimensions involved in the plot of the third game in the Lands of Lore fantasy RPG series was the Shattered Desert, which looked suspiciously like a post-apocalyptic bad-future timeline of the Tiberium Wars. Tiberian Sun hadn’t actually released yet, though, and until it did the abandoned Nod base with a dormant mechanical “wizard” that called itself CABAL was simply presented without explanation.

“Furthermore, Lands of Lore supposedly shares a universe with a puzzle-adventure trilogy, The Legend of Kyrandia. Unfortunately so far as I know that’s limited to background references and plot devices, not characters, but Scotia is at least mentioned by name in LoK’s The Hand of Fate and if that counts for anything there might be another two or three more links added to this sequence. And, counting Red Alert, some intense hopscotch between four otherwise-unrelated Westwood Studios game series in three different genres.”

jmepaints: When I was small, my dad played a LOT of computer games. And I absolutely loved watching him play King's Quest, Monkey Island, Ultima, Heroes of Might and Magic, Lands of Lore..... it was like watching an interactive movie with my dad as the hero on the quests. [x]

Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos

I think Lands of Lore is the first commercial dungeon crawler I've finished. I'm sort of torn on the game. I enjoyed about half of the game. The core gameplay was fun. The plot was a bit by the numbers, but the visuals were nice. Some of the design choices, however, were rough. There were frustrating mechanics (disarming, item destruction) and some of the level design ended up just being tedious.

In the end, I ended up feeling more or less neutral on it. I've heard the sequel is quite different (and I got it as part of the same purchase on GOG), so I'll still check that one out.

The quiet tragedy of shadow of the erdtree is playing through the DLC, encountering cross after cross along your journey and slowly coming to the haunting realisation that Miquella, the person you’ve been tailing throughout the entirety of the DLC, the creator of the Haligtree and protector of its denizens, the most fearsome and kind demigod of them all… Is long dead.

He’s not at the divine gates seeking godhood. Not really. The person known as Miquella is buried at the base of each and every cross in the land. Survived only by a few select ailing entities. St. Trina, slowly wilting at the bottom of the world, The Scadutree avatar who inherited his greatrune, and Miquella the Kind at the very peak of Enir-Ilim.

He not only abandoned his flesh, but went so far as to fracture his very soul. His doubts, his fear, his love. All abandoned in an attempt to fashion a perfect god. To right the wrongs of his mother and people and finally bring the world peace.

His flesh, his power, his birthright, his fate, his fear, his doubts, his love… after leaving all that behind, how much of what’s left is actually Miquella?

Miquella may have hurt many people in his quest for godhood, but he himself was never spared from that very same pain. He may have stripped Radahn and Mohg of their dignity and sense of self to fashion into the perfect consort, but he was just as willing to do the same to himself to fashion into the perfect god.

i love seeing out of context posts about long-running stories with deep lore because it's always shit like "MAJOR SPOILER WARNING!! i can't believe that the metallic athenaeum's envoy actually used never-ending dance of the 57th universe on rionne as if she's not LITERALLY the incarnate of august?!?!" it's like buddy boy thank you for the spoiler tag but all of those words are incomprehensible without at least 5 years of foreshadowed knowledge, 7 different fan theories, and 21 wiki entries
