Yes, it's long. Yes, it could use some more paragraph breaks. Yes, it's no fun to try to read in forum text. However, a few things to keep in mind:
  • I wrote the summaries for E4 and E5 extremely early in the morning.
  • E4 and E5 are by far the largest 2 episodes as far as plot.
  • Lun has put very few superfluous events in the Way. Nearly everything relates to the main plotline.
  • These are presented as rough drafts for a wiki article, not as a shining beacon of literary achievement. If you don't like them, then by all means, please edit them.

Thanks. :wink:

I wonder what the person meant by this...

He is not the ideal video game hero, and is actually somewhat villanous and cruel in the first few instalments.


Villainous and cruel in the first few installments? I thought that he mostly got worse as he went along, being at his best in episode one and his worst in episode five.

Remember the rabbit race? You could kill five innocent people maximum, and two minimum.

Edit: My bad. I was thinking of something else. It's five max, 0 min.

By the way, I think we should remove the "A.K.A. Dancing Violet" part from Cesta. It's a major spoiler.

you can get through the rabbit race without killing anyone.

Not to mention that even if you do kill some people, it's the only time Rhue breaks down over killing random people.

I have a little question.

Considering the fork options of episode six, writing all possible endings would be tedious.
Writing only the "main" ending of episode six might be a good choice, but then leaving a big hint that this is only one possible ending, and that other endings are best discovered by playing the game.

Unless Wellsy does not mind writing all endings and possible outcomes of course.

Also, I'm willing to help out on this, just give me a task and I'll get to it, I've got quite the bit of spare time nowadays.

Wellsy had a kid. The article is on an 18 year hiatus until she goes to college.

Ha, very funny, Jera. I can actually wait just 5 years until she starts kindergarten.

I had write-ups for Eps 1-5, but like Tele noted, I didn't know how to approach the multiple-ending Ep 6. The tricky problem is determining which one is the "main" ending. One would think the Traziun ending, but that's not 100% certain.

Personally, I think we can leave that open for now, or maybe write some nifty text depicting that E6 is the climactic episode where Rhue's actions actually alter the outcome and ending.

Or something along those lines.

Or you can write something like "Rhue then goes into the tower and finds out the "truth""
