Enjoy official story.


Alternate time-lines, alternate dimensions, alternate interpretations of how the Well of Furies works...

... and guess what? Nothing Mender Silos did factored in the alternate dimensions! Isn't that lulz in the most "We are so screwed" kind of way!

I don't always make posts about storyline, but when I do, I post about The Coming Storm. Stay speculative, my friends.

Something about the way you worded that makes me think of Ron Burgundy. So from now on when I read your post I'll be hearing Burgundy's voice in my head.

I was going for The most interesting man in the world, but I accept Ron Burgandy. He is kind of a big deal, after all.

"Yes, I know. Exposition and, as you know, exposition."

"Yes. I know."

Pretty much. I made it more interesting by reading it in Eddie Izzard's voice:

Ramiel: "M'lord, there are Incarnates out there!"

Silos: "Ha HA! Incarnates? We are not scared of two Incarnates!"

Ramiel: "No, m'lord, they've got hundreds of them! Dozens!"

Silos: "Dozens of hundreds?"

Ramiel: "Yes, m'lord. And they've already eaten all of the catering."

Silos: "Good heavens! And the party hats?"

Ramiel: "They've worn them all, sir. All of them!"

Silos: "Good heavens!"

"Yet here we are. Alternate dimensions will begin wreaking havoc on this one, spoiling any victory we could ask for over the Coming Storm."

From the Issue 11 trailer:

Quote:
All of your petty squabbles amongst yourselves and your Rikti counterparts must be brought to an end before it reaches its inevitable crescendo
Of course, this was prior to the decision to make a Praetoria invasion, but I like the way they generalized it to just being a threat from alternate dimensions. (-:

At least now we know the Coming Storm originated in THIS dimension.

Sounds like the Primal version of Silos is the nice one, if the others are described as insane. Or at least, he's saner. An actively hostile Ouroborus would be dangerous.

Show yourself, MLW!

"Do not fool yourself into thinking that alternate Ouroboroses will be as benevolent as this one. They could be led by an insane version of yourself for all we know," warned Ramiel.
Like that could ever happen! !

"As you know, the first modern super-powered beings were Statesman and Lord Recluse. After drinking from the Well, which they tapped into via the Fountain of Zeus, they became Incarnates of Zeus and Tartarus. These Incarnates were the two most powerful people on the planet up until now."
The Nerds rose up...

Quote:
"Several things are incorrect about that statement, but go on," said Silos.
And died down.

I'm working as fast as I can on them!

Yeah, the Menders really know how to dress stylish.

...am I the only one that thinks the Mender outfit really doesn't look that great?

I much prefer the Cimeroran Roman look.

One of my favorite aspects of this game is the Lore of it all.
I feel I need to brush up drastically (damn workload of mine each week) LOL

Actually if you think about it, it wouldn't be as dangerous as you would think. An evil Ouroboros would know that meddling with time would have and adverse effect and possibly cause good things to happen as opposed to bad ones.

I say that we'll eventually find another dimensions Ouroboros and get the twist of all twists that that one's the good one and this one is evil. Shocking, I know.
