: Heh, funny you should mention... I was actually with
: Creation at the time TSG was being made, and wrote a
: rather large big of back-story that only found its way
: into the game piecemeal, tying it in to the known
: lands of Myth. (it was originally a completely
: separate universe based off of a novella another
: Creationer, Jack as I recall, wrote).
Chad. He wrote two other short stories set in the same
universe as well - had the privilege of reading them last
year...
: Also, I wonder how many other people missed this - Gorlan
: IS the Goblins' emperor. (I can't claim credit for
: that part, all I did was connective backstory). The
: whole of TSG is Gorlan's prophecies, and as you recall
: he is amazed that he can see himself in the future,
: because you're not supposed to be able to see yourself
: in prophecies! But he CAN'T seem to focus on the
: Emperor. And toward the end, if you listen to the
: wording of the journals, he seems to be going a
: little... nuts. In his final prophecy, that one Goblin
: general whose name I can't recall screams
: "GORLAN!" into the spacetime portal
: thing.... the same scream which awoke Gorlan from his
: first prophecy. Then he leaves to visit the Goblins,
: and leaves his possessions, name, and title with his
: apprentice, according to tradition... THAT is the
: Gorlan you see in the game. And remember that these
: journals were written PRIOR to the events foreseen in
: the prophecy. He goes to see the Goblins and makes the
: whole damn war happen, slowly losing his mind.
: Cool huh?
Very. Trouble is someone hinted at it on a forum or
something just after its release, and that kinda spoiled
the surprise for me. I didn't catch the bit about
the apprentice being the Gorlan you see in-game, but it
does make sense. Was a pretty good story - better than
Myth 2's imho.
