In Response To: Re: Myth TFL, Myth II, Myth III Errata! (Olorin)
: Ok, I believe there was a misunderstanding here. My point
: is that M2 takes away a lot of the mystery of M1. It
: does not throw up enough new questions of its own to
: cover all those it has removed, because otherwise it
: wouldn't be M2, it would be TFL. My point is that it
: wasn't only M3 thta removed mystery, and that not
: everyhting has to be shrouded in doubt and vagueness -
: M2 is still good, and canon, thouhg it removes a great
: deal of the TFL mystery. Anyway, that said, both M2
: and M3 throw up lots of mysteries.
The way in which new info is revealed in Myth 2 (mainly through the epilogue) is in such a way that only snippets are given and we are still left guessing.
"A thousand years later, he was drawn and quartered on the plains before Ileum."
This Leveller is not named, we don't know where Ileum is, we don't know who defeated him.
Compare this with Myth III's epilogue in which Mjarin is identified as the Head, Moagim is shown to have suffered the Kor punishment, Myrdred's Deceiver title is explained, the Watcher's arm at Silvermines problem is solved, Muirthemne's name change is explained, Zerks in the Mausoleum of Clovis are justified and the Stair of Grief's name is explained.
Despite their attempt to create some mystery:
"No one can recall the fate of Mjarin's living head"
nothing is left to speculate on here.
No uncertainty in Myth 2?:
"But, we cannot be sure, at least, not for another 940 years."
: K, bad example. But I think you exaggerate
How so, when Connacht awakes, he has complete knowledge of the cycle and his own fate.
: Actaully, the manual's backstory is original (as far as
: it can get without destroying the Myth mythos), and
: good.
Hmm, maybe... I can only think of the Sileh'hei as completely original ideas though.
: It wasn't hyped at all. Hence, no one knows of it except
: old Myth vets. Apart from a few select few...
It was hyped among Mythers who caught glimpses of screenshots and heard promises from MJ saying this game would kick the pants off Myth 2 and I swallowed them up, right until the day I opened my box and started to play.
I'm enjoying this debate.
