Dreamfall: The Longest Journey did a great job at several aspects. World-building, story, characterization, tearjacking...but most of all at loose threads and cliffhanger endings. I have a BAZILLION of important questions as to what the collapse was, how Marcus ended up so deep in sh#t (pardon my language), why Faith told Zoe to help April when she obviously was just dandy, etc. After hours of sweat and dirt, I managed to reduce the number of questions to 5. (Huh.) Hece the title. Now, without further ado, let's see them. (in chronological order)
NO. 1.
How did Brian Westhouse end up between worlds?
Brian Westhouse ostensibly bears with a major role in the trilogy. He appeared in both The Longest Journey and Dreamfall: The Longest Journey and was at aid of both of the protags. He also has an interesting and very mysterious backstory. He knew Cortez, that we are aware of and if you were patient at the end of the second game, you may know Cortez saved him from freezing to death once. But basically, that's all. What was he doing on a mountain in Tibet? Had he known Courtez before or did they first meet there? And how did Brian Westhouse end up between worlds? Apart from being way too enterprising...
NO. 2
What happened to Brian Westhouse after the Undreaming's attack?
Look who's here again. Brian Westhouse! And a greater force that he attracted there apparently; the Undreaming. It attacked him, but we never learned how he escaped and arrived at Arcadia,
NO. 3
What happened to Liv?
I loved Olivia and her perkiness, wit and great heart. However, her great heart eventually landed her in great trouble. After hearing her talking to EYE troops, we just lost her. I'm very worried...
NO. 4
What happened to the White Dragon?
She sort of just...disappeared. But for what or who?
NO. 5
Who is Reza, if he is not himself?
At the end of the game, when Reza entered her sick room, Zoe mentioned that was not him. But then who? There are quite a few convinving theories here, like, Pete tempered with his head and changed him into one of his pets, but you have to admit, that's still too obscure. And as a general question, just because it set the whole game into motion, I must ask: what the heck happened to Reza? o.O
+1
Who or rather what is the Undreaming?
Now, it's your turn. Let me know what questions YOU have in the comments below. :)
Spoiler. Awh. It's a damn shame that Both Liv and Damien died. Though.. maybe they didn't? RTG, plz hurry up with book 3 ><
