Question?
For the hidden sign posts, do I have to do them in order. Because I accidentally unearthed the last one first. I think I got all of them (went back to the first one), but I can't find the portal to the south. Trying to figure out the lighthouse challenge, too. I know it has to do with the instructions...bleh.
Got all the items.
Anywho, what has affected me the most so far is not the two lovers (don't particularly care really to be honest) nor the beast, but the civilizations. I'm what some people may call a "rational Christian." I believe that faith in itself is irrational, and am extremely interested in physics and such. People may think, "a religious scientist? NO WAY!" But yeah, that's the part that touched me the most. These two clearly incompatible civilizations, one focused solely on science, and the other, while creating ingenious contraptions, focused on faith. I haven't gotten all the endings yet (got all the items though), but the message I got was:
"Both extremes lead to disaster."
Anywho, I'm a person that believes that games can be an art form, at least as much as movies and books are (love Bioware games, hehe), and can be extremely effective because it forces upon the player a dialogue and interaction. So kudos to you. Liked your other games as well.
I'm gonna go ahead and try to finish this up somehow. I should probably take a break though, hehe.
