Do Ellen's Chapter so we can get more pieces of the puzzle.

You can't fool me, son - it's Ellens all the way down!

This game really is far more involved than I had ever suspected from only playing Ellen's first chapter.

I like the rhythm we have going. Keats

Also, the design of the mnemosyne creeps me out. The three vertical pupils in the bulging eyes; the skittering noises; the insectile bodies...so very unnerving.

Do the boggarts remind anyone else of cockroaches? Because that's what I see. Bipedal cockroaches scuttling around Hellrealm.

The weapons for the Baolwinds/Bethiers look like large sickles, not scythes. The sickle was a traditional tool of druids, and seems to keep with the Gaelic theme.

Man, now I really feel bad for abandoning my play through years ago!

I feel like the reveal in the video wasn't quite the twist the writers had hoped it would be. We knew that 5 yr old Cecilia wasn't capable of killing anyone, and the only person heavily referenced but not yet shown was her mother.

Still, it does nicely tie up many loose ends, though several others are still dangling.

Silly Keats-totally-not-Herve all smug saying he's just an onlooker. :allears:

Something I noticed in this latest video was that Herve's nose looks nothing like Keats'. However, it does have a remarkable similarity to that of Bogel and the Eleven Elven King.

Coincidence?

Yeah, probably.

I still want to know what the hell Ingrid was up to while Ellen was growing up, alone and afraid in a frickin' orphanage!

And who was Cecelia talking to that Samhaim, when she prayed for Herve's life?

As a former runner, Ellen's running animation drives me nuts! Her shoulders move way too much, and just waste energy that could be better used for speed or endurance.

Also, Suzette is an example of a classic tragic heroine - she knows what she's doing is wrong, but she cannot help but go through with the murders.

I think that since I had taken Livane's decision as being "correct" from the beginning, I had forgotten that Ellen didn't know any better. So this quest was a neat little voyage to expand Ellen's understanding, and to remind the player that Livane had taken a massive gamble by short-circuiting the Twin Trees.

From Wikipedia:

quote:

But as a metaphor, a honeypot or a honeytrap may refer to:

Espionage recruitment involving sexual seduction in
reality
fiction
A type of sting operation such as a
Bait car

So, my first thought was, "Dammit, Jimmy, what kind of mess have you gotten into now?"

Did not see that boss coming at all. Scarecrow's origin* I had guessed, but not his motivation.

Thank you for the LP, Nidoking. The game turned out differently than I thought, and really was great!

Thank you for this LP, Nidoking! I am pleased that a game I (and many reviewers) wrote off turned out to be such a gem! I still wouldn't have the patience to finish it, though.

I'm looking forward to seeing your take on Psychonauts!
