Re: The Legend of Queen Opala 2
Jake isn't dead. He makes an appearance on New game Ultra XD. And the location of where he shows up kinda makes me feel that what I said before was right....chasing Nipha's tail.....figuratively of course.
While I would have liked having a Harem at the end of LoQo 2, it just wouldn't feel quite the same. The whole atmosphere of the party is different. In LoQo, ALL your party members where mercenaries. They didn't care what Jake did, as long as he paid them(Kinda weird when you think one of them is a priestess.) Where as on LoQo 2, they are Kai's friends, who joined him because their goals matched, or certain members had information that Kai needed...ie, Murdock. Something about a reformed bandit-turned hero having a harem just doesn't fit the bill. Jake was very obviously only out for himself, even from the beginning. Kai was thrown into this fight, when all he wanted to do was live a peaceful life. I'm not sure about anyone else, but I only know one "hermit" who would have wanted a harem....and that was Roshi from Dragon Ball Z...
And I have a little information to add on the party members. It seems that it is Lilith who keeps Esmerelda from joining right away. AND! If you go through and get Esmerelda, without going back and catching Lilith at your home, you loose her as a choice of party member(At least, I can't seem to get her to spawn now.)
This was added to Gabe's blog, in regards to LoQo 2 golden edition. Hopefully it will clear up some of the complaints about unfinished plot loops/greenfield being empty.
In terms of Golden Edition for LoQOII, I believe I'm getting close to the finish line.
Captain Durrow is wrapped up, Bal'Rana and Za'Nina are wrapped up, romance is wrapped up, Greenfield is wrapped up...and by God, even the missing women of Tel Ravida is now wrapped up as well!
Oh, I didn't need an explication on the whereabouts of Jake, I thought it was implied fairly well that he is no more, and one of the LOQO endings does imply that even with your 'victory' that foul things will be afoot (the good good ending, I think) and so yeah, I get it, Jake is dead, and we needed a new slightly different protag, but in the first game, you had varying degrees of personal poon reward if you so chose, Jake could marry Opala, bone Farah in his own house no less, get a househo, (good endings) or he could totally pull off a brilliant (I guess?) coup and manage to get himself not only Farah and Opala as slaves but Osira as well (and the househo.. maybe homeho is better? manorstitute? ).
As I said, the tone of the second game changed, and while I haven't beaten it yet I get the feeling from a few that the end game rewards don't seem to match the higher difficulty of the game, and I understand that there are varied reasons for this, one of which simply being that yes Kai is not the horndog Jake is, money, and all kinds of other meta and non meta reasons and further, I admit, it is kind of hard to top the harem you get at the end of game one, no matter how you slice it.
